Workshops & Private Classes

With nearly 20 years of bondage experience and having developed a unique style of rope bondage, BeShibari teaches shibari enthusiasts of all levels in Shibari Lounge, together with his partner Shibarista Jess. The focus in our classes is on exploring your creativity and the interaction with your (play) partner, without feeling intimidated by lots of complex techniques.

Workshops by BeShibari & Shibarista Jess follow a scheme that takes you from being an absolute beginner to a level at which you can create inspired, creative and safe ties up to the level of basic suspension. The workshops:

Introduction to Shibari
Shibari Essentials 1: Floorwork
Shibari Essentials 2: Uplines & Semi Suspension
Shibari Essentials 3: TK Chest Harness
Building Blocks 1: Futomomo & Arm Binders
Suspension 1
Practice Class

We are also available for private classes, tailored to your specific questions or situation. To book a private class with BeShibari or Shibarista Jess, please contact us for prices and availability.
