Art of Shibari - Shibari Basics 2 Patterns & Open Space (mixed)

For Basics 2 participants will be encouraged to practice, drill and study essential patterns for floor play and suspension. René will focus each class on a specific cluster e.g. upper body ties, leg ties, hip harnesses etc. and teach you not only the patterns but also why they are designed that way, what they are good for and how to do them safely. Participants are invited to attend with an appropriate play companion – spaces are limited to 5 pairs only.

After the training we will provide open space for participants to tie and play.
