This is the first course in our foundational course series created by Anna Bones and Fred Hatt of Anatomie Studio. There are 4 courses in total.

From its origins and history, to human anatomy and body mechanics, to learning the ABC’s of rope handling and flow, this class is designed to get your creative juices flowing and inspire you body, mind and soul. Learn to connect with your partner in ropes, learn to handle and manipulate the body, and learn to tie all the basic shibari patterns as well as how to freestyle in rope!

Who can come to this class? Are there pre-requisites?

There are no pre-requisites for this course. This class is open to all levels and complete beginners. No rope needed. No experience needed. Switching is allowed throughout the class (tying and being tied).

What should I bring and what do I wear?

We have ropes you can use during the class and we have a communal kitchenette, fridge and microwave. Tea and coffee are free but you should bring your food and snacks (we have plates and cutlery you can use). People usually wear comfortable clothing like yoga or dance attire. We advise against loose fitting clothing and also jeans can sometimes feel a bit restrictive to move around in and difficult to tie on.
