About

We practice Shibari for a number of reasons, but let’s admit it: Rope bondage and sex are natural bedfellows. 

In this workshop every tie you’ll learn is chosen because it’s hot, fast to apply, easy to remember, and safe enough to take home tonight. Whether you’re acting out a fantasy, craving the thrill of control and surrender, or simply want to add a new dimension to your intimacy, a few lengths of rope and some simple knots can get you there; no complex patterns or years of practice required.

Discover

Few things kill the mood more than fumbling endlessly with a knot or friction. The secret to bringing rope into the bedroom is keeping it simple, practicing the basics until they feel effortless, and then letting the ropes become an extension of your hands and desires. In this workshop we skip the intricate patterns and focus on versatile, effective ties that let you stay present with your partner and in the moment.

Learn the moves here, take them home, and make them your own.

What you will explore
