Japanese Rope Bondage
BEGINNER COURSE
Learn to create intimate, beautiful, spicy, and transformative experiences with ropes
This course is a great way to start your journey with Japanese Rope Bondage, also called Shibari or Kinbaku. We will focus on the features that make Japanese bondage such an intimate, sensual, beautiful, and sometimes transformative experience between two people.
We will dive into:
Intimacy and non-verbal communication through ropes
Aesthetics and the beauty of rope bondage
The dynamics of power and surrender
Polarity and presence
Safety, consent, and being confident in communicating your boundaries
You will learn all the basic techniques you need to play with bondage in a safe way – and to prepare you for doing suspensions when you move on to the next level rope course at House of Play.
WHO IS THIS FOR
This is a beginner’s course, so you need no prior experience in Japanese Rope Bondage.
If you have some experience but need to make sure your technical skills for learning to do suspensions are in place, or you want a deeper understanding of how you can play and connect through ropes, this is also a great course for you. The course is for all genders and sexual orientations.
If in doubt, contact us for more information.
If everyone in the course speaks Danish, we will do that, otherwise we'll speak English.
Please note: You need to sign up as a couple, where one is being tied and the other ties, throughout the course. That’s because we want to prepare you for being able to do suspensions, which requires a certain level of technical understanding on how to tie and to be tied in a safe way.
If you want to join, but don’t have a rope partner, contact us and maybe we can help.
