Crabby Calf Ties — Shibari Essentials

This class is designed for those who had some experience in Shibari and want to deepen their practice.

In this class, we will introduce the calf binder and the crab ties, how to play with them and related rope & body handling skill.

To get the most out of this class...

• The Rigger must know how to tie a single column
• Both the Rigger & rope bottom must have a solid understanding of safety and risk management in rope bondage.

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?

You have the option to attach an upline to the harness to "stress-test" the harness if that's within your practice. The majority of the bottom's weight will stay on the ground for that part of the exercise.
