Table Shibari 机縛り

15. February 2025, 6:15 pm – 8:15 pm

In Shibari, we often see floor tying, partial suspensions, full suspensions, hashira or floating bamboo. Tying to furniture is less explored. In this workshop and demonstration, Naoko will share:
– The emotional impact of being tied to a table

Details:

Format: discussion / demonstration

Minimum Knowledge Level: No prior knowledge required. Participants should be comfortable with the idea of exposure.

What to Bring: Kindness, open mind and intellectual curiosity

Solo or Partnered: both works

Class recording: No
