In Shibari, every tie tells a story, yet the untie is just as important!

The Art of UnTying is a unique rope workshop that explores the beauty, intimacy, and presence that comes with releasing the rope. By focusing on the sensation of the untie, you’ll discover how to deepen connection, heighten embodiment, and leave your partner craving more.

Whether you’re brand new to rope or have years of experience, this class will shift the way you think about rope engagements! You'll find your knowledge transform into an embodied practice of trust, flow, and awareness.
