What to expect:
Experience Shibari as a conscious, sensual practice. In these private tuitions & sessions, we prioritize emotional connection, nervous-system regulation, and clear communication over performance or pain. You’ll be seen, supported, and guided at a calm pace that fits your body and intentions. No previous experience required.
- Arrival & intentions (20–30 min): land, tea, short check-in, boundary & desire setting.
- Guided rope journey (1.5 h): slow, intuitive, body-aware; tailored to your needs (solo or as a couple/duo).
- Integration (15–30 min): gentle landing, water, short debrief.
Who is this for:
Individuals seeking a grounded introduction into Shibari with a strong focus on emotional and intimate connection.
Couples/duos wishing to deepen intimacy, trust, and communication by playing with a stronger sense of polarity.
Individuals curious about the aesthetic and meditative qualities of Tantric-Shibari
“I consider Shibari as a practice of ongoing exploration. When I teach “the art of Shibari with intention” my focused practice emphasizes tying one’s partner in an intimate and sensual way, fostering a deep connection and meaningful communication through the ropes.
The essence of Shibari lies in the connection between the aesthetic expression and the emotional as well as sensual intention of the practice.”
– Dan Carabas
The combination of Tantra and Shibari can be an intense and transformative experience, combining different aspects of consciousness and physical sensations.

Artist-Led Shibari Practice:
I approach Shibari as a living practice rather than a fixed technique. When I teach or practice, the focus is on intimacy, presence, and meaningful communication through the rope, allowing the experience to unfold in a conscious and connected way.
For me, the essence of Shibari lies in the relationship between aesthetic expression and emotional as well as sensual intention. Rope becomes a way to respond to the body, to hold and stabilise emotional states, creating a position that allows sensations and feelings to surface and settle. By adding ropes, we give form and continuity to that moment, so it can be experienced more clearly and consciously.
My style is minimalistic, mostly floor-based, and guided by breath and presence. Working close to the body allows every rope to have a clear purpose, to shape, transform, and create sensation, so the tying evolves as an intimate, organic process rather than a fixed design.
