Shibari is an artform that has gained major popularity in recent years. It is a wonderful way to connect with yourself and/or your partner. From the meditative and relaxing process of building patterns and structure with rope, to the sensory grounding experience of focusing on the texture of the rope, and the many somatic health benefits of simply being held by the rope - the content of this class will increase your tool kit to explore those spaces, and connect with partners.
Sassy (@sassy_masochist) has been exploring both sides of the rope since 2015, when she was drawn to rope for the connection and creative expression it allows. Sassy’s tying style emphasizes creating beautiful shapes, improvising bondage, and adapting her play to honor the unique needs of each individual. In her curriculum, Sassy often aims to destigmatize kink and help kinksters make adjustments in their play to accommodate their body’s specific needs.
When she’s not tying (or being tied), Sassy is busy building community as the co-founder of SMart Boston Collab. She has taught and performed all over the map: from local New England favorites like Bound in Boston and Tethered Together, to across the country at Dark Odyssey events, Rope in the Rockies, Shibari VA, Exxxotica Expo, and more! Even after a decade in the scene, she still considers herself a lifelong student and is always seeking new ways to grow, create, and connect in rope and within the community.
