Shibari classes

For advance.

“Mosafir’s Anti-Gote shibari style”: arms and chest harnesses other than Gote.

Several ways to tie the chest with hands in front, above or behind. These techniques are a bit more extreme compared to the gote shibari, but they give partners new experience and unusual sensations. Studied harnesses are suitable for suspensions as well.

“Mosafir’s Chaotic rope shibari style”: chaotic binding.

Bondage technique without the use of schemes. The style is characterized by increased dynamics and emotional intensity. I show you the techniques that make this bondage possible for use in suspensions. We are working out and trying some basic approaches.

For ppl who know how to tie (intermediate level).

The seminars are designed for those who know how to make basic binding and do simple suspensions, but I hope that they will be interesting for experienced riggers as well. Much time will be devoted to the practice of tying.

The duration of each workshop is 3 – 3.5 hours. To attend you will need a model and 8-10 pieces of rope (8 m long).

Double column tie: the easy in the difficult.

We will take a closer look on a few ways of tying this basic harness. The use of double column tie for creating different patterns (schemes) and for suspending your partner in a non-standard way. The main goal of the seminar is to show on the base of one harness how important it is to think creatively and bring basic techniques to a new level.

Gote shibari: variations.

5 – 7 options of gote shibari. We will fundamentally study different ways of creating a chest harness. Moreover, we will discuss the basics of designing and using various patterns. All the harnesses are suitable for suspensions as well. How many harnesses we will study will depend on the knowledge level of the participants.

Half suspensions.

Techniques of working with a low suspension point. Dynamic bondage on the floor. You will learn about my ways to make bondage interesting and not repetitive and we’ll talk about using a wide range of impact.

Dynamic suspension.

Suspension with the change of support points. Specifics and main tasks. I will talk about my approach to this practice, my experience and technical findings. We’ll analyze several variations and spend some time as well discussing how to display shibari as a show.

Interaction in bondage.

Tying as flirting, as a game, as a dialogue and monologue. You will get acquainted with my view on the Japanese bondage, techniques and practices. Techniques for establishing contact, maintaining the dialogue between the model and the rigger and for the development of the action in the wanted way. The questions is – how to make a cocktail of sex, pain, power and trust.

SM in shibari.

Shibari and sadomasochism. Using ropes to inflict pain, gaining control and understanding the possible impact. We’ll learn about methods of rope torture and predicament bondage.

Bamboo shibari.

The use of bamboo in shibari:

  • as part of a harness
  • for the suspension
  • for extra impact

You’ll gain understanding on how to use bamboo, what opportunities and new sensations you can give to the model and how to use these opportunities to make your bondage creative.

For beginners.

For those who want to start their way in the shibari world I will give two seminars from the basic course of the RopeSchool. These seminars will be useful for those who studied by themselves and want to revise and improve their technique.

It is enough to have 3 pieces of rope, 8 m long each.
