FUNDAMENTALS

(Mondays and Saturdays*)

In fundamentals, we take every student from knowing nothing about Shibari to having basic knowledge, and the ability to play and enjoy rope. After just one class, the students will know enough to tie basic patterns and explore Shibari on their own.

This class is geared as a pre-cursor to any of your rope journeys; ideal for newbies and those curious about bondage. Whether alone or with a partner, this technical course is for you. Fun, engaging & instructional this class will bring you the knowledge you need to start practicing your basics, knowledge on consent and the ability to more safely apply rope to yourself or a partner.

In this class you will learn: Boola Boola - Single Column, Safety considerations, Futo-Momo consisting of; X-friction, Double Half-Moon, Kanuki, Larks head, Applying what you have learned in other contexts, a discourse on consent & negotiation.

The price is per person and can be taken with or without a partner.
We will learn to tie a futomomo on ourselves in this class so everyone is tying and engaged! Two inscriptions are necessary. 

You cannot be late to this class; There is too much information to cover and once we have started the class it is too disruptive to interrupt. Please arrive at least 15min minutes early, 30min if you have a tendency of being late. If you are late you will not be admitted to class; please be respectful of your fellow students and my time.

What you will need

  • One 8m-10m / 5-6mm rope per person, we have a preference for natural rope ideally Jute or Hemp however for your first class you can bring whatever you have that fits that description. If you do not have rope you can purchase one in the shop, we currently have two grades of jute.
  • Comfortable clothes, think yoga, nothing too loose or slippery. (Jeans are not recommended)
  • Notebooks are not necessary (for this class), you will get homework and all the important information detailed for you by email after class.

Consent Beyond the Classroom

Fundamentals classes touch on themes related to rope, power, and BDSM-adjacent practices. While the class itself is educational and grounded, participating may bring up conversations or reactions in or outside the studio. We strongly encourage explicit consent and open communication with partners before registering.

Partners who may wish to keep their participation private sometimes underestimate how confronting or surprising this work can feel when discovered later. Consent is not only about what happens in class — it also extends to the relationships and dynamics we bring with us. Taking the time to speak openly beforehand helps avoid harm, misunderstanding, or breaches of trust.

You can sign up for the class on the calendar below:

Private Fundamentals

If you are unable to attend the scheduled group classes for one reason or another this class is available in a private dedicated 3H class where you have all the attention.

These privates are 300$ for 2-3 people.
4+ becomes a group rate.

I would prefer a private class.

Homework and Additional Resources

A reminder to do homework will be sent by email after the class, along with all the essential resources you’ll need to continue your learning.

In the meantime, you can already explore the following documentation to familiarize yourself with the basics and start practicing a few simple concepts:
