This workshop/research lab series by Kanna & Kagura aims to work towards diversifying Kinbaku/Shibari/rope and making it more accessible to all bodies, sizes, shapes, ethnicities, ages, and genders in a positive, empowering way.
Enjoy challenging rope practices in a healthy and comfortable way that caters to the needs of your body and your heart. ♬︎♡
This new series is based on your requests! It is not a pre-designed workshop/class where there is a base pattern and the main focus is on teaching it, and then checking, correcting, and suggesting to each person, to find the correct answer that already exists.
This series is a laboratory in which you will experience the process and thinking that goes into an answer that you pose. Together with Kanna & Kagura, you will explore a way to find an answer to your specific question and/or needs.
Note: We will work mostly with common knowledge and not highly advanced techniques that require the prior acquisition of skills and knowledge. We will not require special equipment or furniture that is not available to everyone everywhere in order to keep the lab accessible for everyone. Furthermore, the current situation of Covid-19 in Japan makes it unsafe and flat out impossible to work with different models of various body types and genders as it is too dangerous. We apologize. Whereas we cannot provide the representation we wished to provide for safety reasons, we nevertheless wish to share our vast knowledge and we also have various ways to improvise and demonstrate.
This event is for a single class. If you’d like to purchase the entire series for a reduced price, please click here.
❤ Part 6: “Asymmetry for Different Physical Limitations” (July 3rd, 2021, 2 pm CET)
In general, the main patterns of Kinbaku are symmetrical shibari, but you can also enjoy asymmetrical shibari even if your partner has shoulder pain, lack of flexibility, shoulder/arm muscles tightness, or left-right differences! Together we’ll adjust ties to different physical handicaps.
