FAQ:
What should I wear? - Please wear comfortable clothes that enable you to move freely and won't get cought by rope. I would suggest something close to your skin such as leggings for bottom part of your body, or shorts so you can tie directly on your skin, and maybe tighter tops/tshirt for upper body
Do I need to have my own ropes for this workshops? - I will provide practice rope on the day of the class, this will have to be returned once you complete the course. If you want to buy ropes from me, please let me know as I have a discount for people who attend my classes.
Can I attend workshops by myself, or do I have to sign up with a partner? - You are more than welcome to join this workshops by yourself as most of the ties are possible to be practiced solo, you will also have a chance to pair up with other solo attendees.You are also welcome to sign up with your partner or a friend - this workshop may deepen your connection/frienship.
Does this workshops include nudity/sensual play? It is a safe space for learning fundamentals of Shibari in an inclusive enviornment, and even though Shibari/Kinbaku has an emotional aspects, and can be a very powerful tool to connect with your partner, this time it won't be possible to use the space for "play time" or erotic/nudity content.
I am looking forward to meeting you all and sharing my knowledge with you!
