Shibari Intro - English - July

In-person Workshop: Shibari Intro ( in English) by Ru Sagaris at Espacio Nos, Barcelona.

Duration: 6 Hours total + 1 hour break

Date & Time: 28th July from 10:00 to 17:00 (1-hour break at midday for lunch)

Please arrive 5 min before the class starts.

Ru Sagaris will teach from scratch the basics of Shibari, anatomy, safety, negotiation, and much more in English.

You can attend this workshop alone or as a pair/couple. The class content is suitable and designed to cover important basic needs for all roles: people who tie (riggers), people who are tied up (model/bottom), and practical basics to begin understanding Shibari. 

It offers a line of study and tools so that those who attend can develop themselves and have a structured foundation to begin with. The entire course is taught based on Japanese-style practice with a non-dogmatic, accessible, and people who self-tie (selftier).

This workshop is designed by Pauline Massimo, who has been studying and practising their experience in this field professionally for over 12 years.
