What you'll do: Step into a welcoming, judgment-free studio and learn the fundamentals of shibari from instructors with decades of combined experience, no rope, partner, or prior knowledge required.

• Learn the Basics of Consent and Connection - Build a foundation of clear communication before you ever pick up rope.

• Practice Foundational Knots - Tie the Single Column Cuff (Somerville Bowline) and other core techniques you can use right away.

• Try Hip Harnesses and Rope Corsets - Explore the Mermaid Hip Harness and Pillow Hands Chest Harness in a hands-on setting.

• Switch Roles Freely - Take turns tying and being tied, with switching actively encouraged throughout.

• Ask Every Question You've Been Holding Onto - Get direct, judgment-free answers in a small, participatory group setting.

By the end, you'll walk out with real technique, a working vocabulary for rope play, and a clear sense of whether shibari is a practice you want to keep exploring.

Additional information:

• This group class starts at $600 for a 2-hour session, priced for groups of 8 to 12 (larger groups accommodated for an additional fee, longer sessions available).

• Wear clothing comfortable for light movement (a detailed guide is linked on the studio's site), and arrive sober, since rope work carries real physical risk.
