Shibari 101: Rope Bondage with Harli

Shibari is the erotic practice of traditionally informed Japanese rope bondage. Join us for a guided journey into this exciting world!

In this introduction to shibari we will learn the important foundations of safety and rope-craft before learning some basic yet effective knots and techniques for both the tie-ers (Riggers) and the tie-ees (Bunnies)
