Introduction to Shibari - Fundamentals

Class Language
Monday evening: class taught in French
Saturday: class taught in English
(Please register for the session offered in your preferred language.)

This class introduces students with no prior experience to the essential techniques, frictions, and safety concepts needed to begin enjoying rope. After just one session, you will have enough foundational knowledge to tie simple patterns and start exploring shibari on your own.

You will learn:

— Single column (boola boola)
— The basic structure of a futomomo (onto which the knots and frictions are applied)
— Safe placement, tensioning, and adjustments
— Safety fundamentals: physical risks, communication, consent, and negotiation
— Tools commonly used in rope bondage
Whether you attend alone or with a partner, this fun, engaging, and technical class will give you the essential foundations to practice safely.
