To Breathe or not To Breathe — Shibari Essentials

This class is tailored for those with some Shibari experience looking to enhance their skills.

In this class, we will introduce the Choker Harness & the Hug Harness: Two similar patterns that could result in very different sensations.

To attend this class...

• Both the rigger and the bottom need to have a fundamental understanding of rope safety and risk management.
• The Rigger needs to know how to tie a single column & rope handling skills to attend this class.

What do you need to bring?

• 3 x 30ft rope (but feel free to bring more!)
• 1-2 short ropes
• Synthetic ropes for upline if that is within your practice
• You & your bottom's aftercare needs.

The host will also provide yoga mat to tie on, snacks, and water.

Common Q&A

1. Do I need to bring my own rope?

The host will provide jutes for everyone to use. However, it is strongly advised to bring your own ropes.

2. Do I need a rope bottom?

Yes. You will need a rope bottom to practice with. If you are a switch, pair up with your switch-y friends! You learn the most if you could experience both sides!

3. What should I wear?

For Riggers: Anything you feel the most comfortable in. You will feel
warmer than your bottom, so don't put too many layers on!

For bottoms: Tighter clothes are the best. For example: tank tops and yoga pants. If you wear bras, please remember to take them off or wear wireless bras for upper body ties.

4. Will I be able to learn to suspend someone?

We will attach an upline to the harness to "stress-test" the harness if that's within your practice. The bottoms must be sitting/kneeling on the ground for that part of the exercise.
