Shibari Classes For Beginners, Step 1 & 2
Starting on January 7th I’ll be teaching Beginners Step 1 & 2 at Daruma in Berlin
Description
Our 6 week courses for shibari beginners run every Tuesday from our studio in Neukölln, Berlin. Both levels are taught in English.
The goal of these classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of rope bondage basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.
Absolute Beginners (Step 1)
Step 1 is for those who are either completely new to shibari, or have a little prior experience but are feeling a bit rusty on the basics. The course covers simple knots, frictions, patterns, harnesses, and introduces participants to important skills such as rope handling and tensioning. By the end of the course, participants should understand how to construct a short rope scene that brings together technical and playful elements.
Beginners (Step 2)
Step 2 builds on the content of the Step 1 course, deepening and expanding on what you’ve already learnt. By the end of the course, participants should have a wider range of technical elements in their rope tool kits, a deeper understanding of common safety issues, and should be able to construct a range of floor ties, and use them in play.
