Tickets and More Information
Shibari 201 is a four-class, weeknight course designed for tying pairs who want to build solid rope skills, deepen connection, and learn within a tested system rather than piecing things together from miscellaneous classes or videos.
This is not a drop-in workshop.
It is a guided learning path.
By the end of this course, you will have a shared rope language, a repeatable approach to scenes, and the confidence to build ties with intention and deliver an environment that is sure to deliver, rather than guessing your way forward.
You will leave this course knowing not just how to tie, but how to think in rope.
Class 1: Focus on Intention 1
Control rope direction and purpose, recognize key aspects of advanced rope
Class 2: Focus on Intention 2
Delivering emotions, creating tension, and climactic experiences
Class 3: Environment 1
Deeper understanding of directionality and intention with rope
Class 4: Environment 2
Integration, Arms-in, Controlling the Environment
This structure allows skills to settle, questions to surface, and confidence to develop naturally.
It is ideal for people who:
Want consistent instruction rather than one-off classes
Learn best with structure and repetition
Value safety, communication, and intentional practice
Want materials to support learning between sessions
This course assumes strong familiarity with rope basics, safety, and consent. Completion of the Getting Started class and 101 Series Course gives you what you need.
Your enrollment includes:
A printed course binder to support note-taking and retention
Access to online instructional videos for review and practice
In-person instruction with consistent pacing and expectations
A shared framework used across all four classes
This combination ensures you are supported during the course and after it ends, not left on your own, wondering what to practice next.
Clear negotiation and boundary setting at a 201 level
Scene structure and intentional flow to set the environment
Directional rope handling, frictions, and hitches
Multiple applications of directional rope
Takate-Kote Chest harnesses and structural body ties
Combining elements of intention and environment into complete, functional ties
Each skill is taught in context, with an emphasis on why it matters and how it supports safety, connection, and creativity.
These materials allow you to:
Review techniques between classes
Practice at your own pace
Reinforce learning after the course ends
This support is part of what allows students to retain and build on what they learn here.
