Shibari Basics Beginner class (Berlin, DE)


Shibari Basics is a drop-in workshop for anyone wanting to get started exploring kinbaku as well as those wanting to go into depth with the fundamentals. The first 2 Mondays of the month suitable for complete beginners and the 3rd Monday of the month for beginners with a bit of prior experience.
We will cover basic concepts and techniques needed to start understanding and playing around with rope. The content always varying a bit to not get boring for those who choose to attend this class to work on their technique on a regular basis.

-PREREQUISITES-
First 2 Mondays of the month you need no prior knowledge.
You can come together with partner/s or also alone if you don't mind coupling up with other students for the exercises.
Bring a couple of ropes meant for shibari if you have (ones to borrow are limited).
The prerequisite to attend the ´beginner with experience´class which is on every 3rd Monday of the month is to at least know how to tie a single column tie. As well as have some personal experience of playing around with rope.

To attend the Intermediate Floorwork Class every 4th Monday of the month you need to be familiar with the basics to follow. Rough estimation could be knowledge equivalent of having attended around 4 of the beginner classes. More advanced students are also welcome since there is no upper level limit. See separate event for further information.

First time tryout: 15€/per person
