Intro to Rope Bondage is the first step for people interested in learning to tie with each other.
The emphasis of this course is to accompany the participants on their path into a joyful and safe practice of rope bondage, Shibari/Kinbaku. We go through basic techniques, knots & frictions, safety and consent, movement, communication, and artistic representation. Participants will be able to tie with each other in a joyful and interesting way. We understand each class as directed at both, the person in ropes as well as the person tying.
Participants of the intro to rope series have free access to the open jam directly after the class.
