Oh, Sweet Torment – A Predicament Rope Masterclass is all about Yada’s approach to predicaments in rope bondage. Yada balances delicately the best and worst of feelings and predicaments, always making sure that sweet suffering and loving dominance interact intricately with safety and the feeling of being taken care of for the rope bottom. This class will take you from the floor into suspension and give multiple adaptations and possibilities of fucking around and finding out in the most beautiful and luscious ways.
Background:
Yada Keawburee aka. Yada Kinbaku is a student of female Japanese kinbakushi Yoi Yoshida, a shibari artist and sex educator from Bangkok, Thailand.
Yada has been exploring Japanese rope bondage since 2015, learning from her teacher Yoi Yoshida who is also known as “the mother of Kinbaku” in Japan. Yada’s style is an adaptation of Yoshida’s rope work which adapts to the individual needs of the person she is tying. Central to Yada Kinbaku’s philosophy is the belief that Kinbaku is a deeply communicative art form. For her, the ropes are a means of exploring and expressing complex emotions and vulnerabilities in relationships. She views each tying session as a collaborative journey, where the interaction between the person tying and the person being tied is paramount. In each session, Yada strives to find and allow for the expression of deep fears, emotions, and desires.

You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
