Context & Characteristics

In this rope bondage class, Anna Bones delves deeper into the context and characteristics that inform what we call ‘shibari’.

What do we mean when we speak about ‘shibari’ and how does this differ from other types of bondage? And beyond the words we use, how can rope itself be used as a tool to communicate our intent? This theoretical class is the perfect starting point to understand why we tie the way we tie, why we use the tools we use, and how these – and not the ‘end result’ of a specific harness or pattern – are some of the most rewarding aspects of the practice.

This class is aimed at beginners and those with an interesting in bondage looking to start expanding their understanding of the whys and the hows of shibari.
