Improve your floor work and learn to play with gravity in one very complete hands-on weekend in the UK’s first and only shibari studio!

What does this workshop cover?

Improve your floor work and learn to play with gravity in one very complete hands-on weekend in the UK’s first and only shibari studio!

More and better rope is what you'll get out of this weekend as we introduce the Third Rope of the Takate Kote as well as gravity. We will cover:

-Structural Third Rope of the TK
-Attachment of mainlines to the TK
-Suspension line lock-offs
-Setting and choosing the height of your point
-2-3 leg and upper body harnesses
-Partial suspensions: shapes, getting creative with the body and playing with sensations/stresses

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

This class has pre-requisites for riggers and rope bottoms/models – please make sure you meet these before booking to avoid disappointment on the day.

-Completion of Course 1, Introduction to Shibari Course or The Takate Kote crash course gives both riggers and models the necessary pre-requisites for this course. You can still join us without having completed these courses with us, but please check meet the pre-requisites below. If in doubt please get in touch at enquiries@anatomiestudio.com

-Riggers must know how to comfortably tie a structural upper body harness - preferably a two rope Takate Kote - taught to you in a class, workshop, private tuition or reputable online learning platform

-Rope bottoms should be comfortable being tied in an upper body harness - ideally a TK - and be familiar with the differences between nerve and circulation impingement.

Please note that Fred and Anna’s tying style is TK heavy and will focus on this tie throughout the foundations course. The teachers will use and teach the TK for the majority of the demos and exercises. Students are welcome to use other harnesses. Please note the use of other harnesses in some cases substantially changes the effect of the ties. The teachers always aim to provide adaptations and alternatives to TKs whenever possible and attendees are free to use any upper body harness that suits them best and count on teacher support and feedback.

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.
