About the event
Union Square Meeting Room 21, Tower 1, Fourth Floor - Pre-requisites are a willingness to handle rope, to tie, and to be tied. More importantly, each participant must come with an open mind to understand that Shibari rope bondage is not necessarily as portrayed in social media. Please wear comfortable clothings like a t-shirt and a short or a loose fit pants, and bring a large towel per person from your hotel room, as we might want to sit on floor while tying for both people. You must be an actual couple that has been together for at least a year, however, living together is not required. This way, there is a true connection between two people to be explored via ropes. No rope experience is needed, so absolute beginners are welcome to join this fun and surprising class.
If sitting on the floor is a problem for some participants, we can modify this workshop by sitting on a chair.
