Reviews for Why Knot: Group Shibari Class for Beginners in Los Angeles

Wonderful place with amazing owners and friendly instruction.

DMS Blindfolded Experience Loved the anticipation. Once in position, I heard rope being placed on the floor. The waiting and the wondering what was coming was palpable. Delish. The touch outside of the rope felt so nice. They pinched the heel of my wrapped foot which felt amazing!! Removing rope at the very end, they pressed theirthumb in hard so that when rope came off completely, it was replaced by rigger. There was not a drop. Nicely done. Loved that. I also noticed in the beginning, they pushed the crook of my elbow to bend my arm. Loved that non-verbal communication and also the “being told what to do” aspect of it. 10 out of 10 experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing studio and the people who run it are lovely 💜

Andrew and Melissa showcased the moat important aspect of Rope in easily thw most digestive and engaging way. The environment was welcoming and the discussion open. For people curious about the fundamental building blocks of intentionality and communication while expressing that through Rope - this class is a Must.

Great class in a beautiful space with amazing people! Highly recommend this studio and their offerings!

I absolutely loved this class and left feeling inspired, empowered, and excited to continue learning. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that the instructors had put a great deal of thought into creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. The instructors were exceptional. They were organized, clear, and incredibly detail-oriented in their teaching. They spoke with confidence and clarity, making sure everyone could hear and follow along, while also being concise and intentional with their instruction. Every demonstration felt purposeful, and they took the time to explain not just how to do something, but why it was being done that way. Their passion for teaching was evident throughout the entire class. What impressed me most was the balance they created between professionalism, education, and fun. The environment felt welcoming, inclusive, and judgment-free, which made it easy to stay engaged and ask questions. Whether you’re completely new or have previous experience, the instructors meet you where you are and provide a solid foundation for learning. This was one of the most thoughtfully taught workshops I’ve attended in a long time. I left with new skills and a genuine enthusiasm to continue exploring and learning. I would happily take another class from these instructors and highly recommend them to anyone considering it.

Melissa and Andrew clearly love their craft, and their teaching style is straightforward, passionate, fun, and hands-on. A great fit for anyone looking for a thorough, structured intro.

This class was incredible, engaging, fun, and informative. 5 stars aren't enough. I drove over an hour to come and would gladly drive double the distance. The love the staff shows, not just for the content of their lessons but also for the community, is so evident and felt... Will definitely be coming back, the addiction has begun.

From the people to the building, I love everything about this studio. It's a quiet and inviting space as soon as you enter. Allowing you to feel safe and encouraged to learn and experience the fun that is rope. It's a bit of a drive for me but it's absolutely worth it and I will definitely be coming back. <3

Awesome studio, they're very warm and positive here, and have really put together a safe place where people can learn, grow, and develop their craft. I look forward to attending future events and would highly recommend.
