WELCOME TO TENSION
We are Montreal's local Shibari studio, a dreamlike and calming tying space in Montreal. Join us for Shibari classes, events, workshops, and more for a fulfilling rope bondage experience in Montreal.
NEW TO SHIBARI?
You've come to the right place. At Tension, we believe in building strong foundations. All new members start with our Fundamentals class, where you'll go from knowing nothing about Shibari to tying basic patterns and understanding safety protocols.
OUR STUDIO
Our serene & spacious Shibari studio is conveniently located in downtown Montreal near Beaudry Metro equipped with everything you need to start or continue your practice. Our Japanese inspired aesthetic provides a calm environment in which to explore rope bondage, shibari practices, and classes.
FOSTERING A SENSE OF BELONGING
We strive to create an environment free of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. It is important to us to promote inclusivity, body-positivity, and staying humble in our learning, to name a few.
CLASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MOMENCE
We use a studio platform called Momence for all of our bookings.
This platform is integrated directly into our site allowing you to find and book your class through each individual page. You can also find the event you are looking for by checking the monthly schedule below.
TENSION PROVISIONS PLENTY OF ITEMS YOU CAN USE
We offer rope, but also safety scissors, carabiners, tenugui, furoshiki, and all other manner of items that you might need to play. Visit the shop and browse through everything that we have!We carry rope imported from Japan as well as other rope alternatives for those on a budget. All of our rope is treated by our team here in Montréal. We are proud to offer the best quality rope so that our students and clients can, in turn, create the most beautiful moments with their partners.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND ENERGY EXCHANGE PROGRAM
If you want to learn shibari at Tension but are lacking the funds to do so, write to us to be considered for one of our scholarships! Spots are extremely limited, but we want to encourage diversity in our space.
Otherwise, ask us about our energy exchange program. Sometimes Tension needs help to maintain the space, and the volunteers get perks and classes in exchange. We prioritize people who are dedicated and reliable but cannot afford to come to our classes.
