Shibari Intro - Sophia Rose 28 May

Duration: 6 Hours + lunch time.

Date & Time: 28th May from 11:00 to 18:00

Students should arrive 10-15 minutes before to explain the space.

Sophia Rose is our guest presenter who 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 people who self-tie (selftier).

This workshop offers the technical, theoretical and practical basics to begin to understand Shibari. It’s offered 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 practice with a non-dogmatic, accessible and flexible approach.

This workshop is presented and taught by Sophia who will share from her personal and professional experience in this field, as well along her many years of practice and study of Shibari.

- Historical context and evolution of Shibari.

- Keys to make the practice of Shibari more ethical: vetting, negotiation, risk profiling, etc.

- Fundamental ties and knots (single and double column).

- Simple to complex frictions.

- Flow and adaptation.

- Care for ropes and other materials.

- Basic introduction to the anatomy of the tied body, common injury risks and how to mitigate them.

- Rope flow exercises, practical exercises at home and in class.

More.

It is necessary to attend this class with comfortable clothes (you can change in the space) and it is preferable to work with natural hemp or jute ropes, which are between 7 and 8 meters long and between 5 and 6 mm thick.

Language:

This class will be presented by Sophia Rose who speaks English only and we do not offer translation to Spanish or other languages for this one. Only suitable for English speakers.

If you want it in Spanish, we recommend taking another course presented by a local teacher.

Materials in class:

You may bring your own ropes that fit the description above. Minimum 2 ropes per person for the entire course.

You can get ropes before starting your course by choosing the package with a set of ropes that has a discount included (15%).

You can buy them in our space once the class starts (10% for students).

Or you can borrow them from the space during the classes, but you can't take them home.

Important:

You must make the payment upfront and book in advance. If you cannot pay on our website, please let us know and we can find you a solution.

This long format is suitable for people who feel comfortable sharing space with others and learning over several hours in the same day. We will take small breaks and a lunch break and recommend people to take their own breaks and rest when necessary but if you are the kind of person who finds it overwhelming to spend several hours learning something, maybe this option can be hard for some. You can always consult concerns and questions with the organization.

We follow the recommended sanitary protocols during the time of the workshop if necessary (masks, distances, etc). 

Under some circumstances we might need to ask attendants to use masks in case there is not enough distance possible which everyone should comply with.

Please read our terms and conditions carefully as we have a strict policy regarding changes and refunds.
