Discover Shibari is Anatomie’s signature 4 part shibari progressive series, offering a modern and practical approach to rope bondage. The course is taught by studio co-founders Fred and Anna, tying partners and life partners of 10 years, and focuses primarily on technique and partnership. The series will take you from complete beginner to proficient at full suspension over the duration of 4 weekend long courses. We offer a relaxed and non-dogmatic environment for you to discover shibari at your own pace.
Course 1 is aimed at complete beginners who want to familiarise themselves with the foundational techniques in shibari rope bondage. The course covers everything from safety and communication to the basics of rope handling and body manipulation, as well as the most fundamental ties used in this style of rope.
These include:
- The single column tie & double column tie
- Joining rope
- Basic frictioning
- Basic ties such as: “bunny ears”, the “futomomo” and the “Takate Kote” among others
Soft skills will also be covered throughout, including information about bottoming in rope, playing with rope (including navigating consent), and cultivating lasting and healthy ropey relationships.
Who can come to this class? Are there pre-requisites?
There are no prerequisites 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.
