Come along and join Himboy Rope for a beginner to intermediate level shibari class on sensual and connective tying.
This class will cover
● Basic concepts of movement and connective tying, examining how we can use rope in a
sensual and erotic manner to explore and connect
● Practical exercises to explore sensual rope with a graduated approach from creative
bedroom ties to building shibari scenes
● Clothing and rope - tying in, on and around clothes to heighten experience
● Negotiation, safety, and collaboration methods for rope tops and bottoms
Who are the classes for?
● Anyone that wants to explore rope as a pathway to connect no matter the background of
rope school or experience
● Models and tops of any size/shape/ability (all taught ties have modifications)
● Anyone interested in rope somatics and nerdy rope things
● Tying partners - each class has practical elements so come with someone you are
comfortable tying with
Pre-requisites/class requirements
Tying knowledge - non-collapsing single column tie, inline/hojo cuffs
Communication knowledge - experience with negotiation, and the ability to clearly communicate boundaries throughout the class
Switching is welcome
To bring to class - 6-8 lengths of rope (ideally jute, but whatever you are comfortable with*), cutting implement, yoga mat, drink bottle, notebook
Rope in both classes will be used in intimate areas (crotch/mouth/etc) and may become fluid bonded with tying partner - please be aware of this when considering the type of rope you want to bring to class
To wear to class - comfortable semi-formal clothes for tying in (i.e. not sports wear). Think what you’d wear for scenes and play (unless you do wear sports wear for play, in which case go ahead!)
