You start your way from the floor into the air by learning a two-rope takate-kote (also known as box tie) suitable for suspension. It is not as simple as it looks like. You’ll learn/recap about shoulders and nerve safety and will go through a lot of practical exercises, each time learning from the inevitable mistakes, so that it gets better and better progressively.
Then you will learn how to build a safe suspension line on a ring and on a bamboo. You will also get some useful training routine to practice at home regularly, even without a partner!
You get familiar with these two ingredients during the workshop and at the end we’ll make a semi-suspension or a full suspension, depending on the individual situation of each couple.
This course is suitable for people who have some initial experience with shibari.
It would be helpful for you to know shibari basics: consent, safety aspects, rope handling at bare minimum. Active partner should be able to tie hands using single or double column tie.
Education in a small group: max. 5 couples.
Ticket price is 210 CHF per couple.

This workshop is only for couples.
Duration: 4.5 hours.
Language: English and German — mixed or one of the languages, depending on the group.
Number of participants: There will be 5 couples at maximum. If I have less than 3 couples registered a week before start, the workshop may be cancelled.
Bring 5-7 standard 7-8-meter-long shibari ropes if you have them. You can buy the ropes at my studio before the workshop as well — 25 CHF per piece of the high-quality jute rope.
If the tickets are sold out – contact me, maybe we’ll find a solution.
And don’t hesitate to ask questions at any time!
