SHIBARI WITH TEVINCULA

Embark on enriching your journey into the art of Shibari with our intermediate-level class series, meticulously crafted to deepen your understanding and mastery of traditional ties while diving into the exhilarating realm of semi-suspensions.

This series of classes will be a step by step 10-week Rope Intensive, each class lasting 2 hours.  The 2 hours will be 15 minutes for arrival, getting settled and introductions, followed with 90 minutes class and 15 minutes cooldown and decompression time. You can assume to be tying for at least 60 minutes of the 90 minutes class. 

Each class will have a very specific focus geared towards learning a specific topic with lots of hands-on practice time. The classes will be recorded and recordings will be made available to each student to enable you to review while practicing in the days, weeks to come.
