This 3hr intro class, is meant for brand new rope practitioners and gives a solid starting point for all things Shibari. We will do some tying, but there is also a lot of the other material like rope types, tensioning, communication, basic safety, types/styles of rope play and the vocabulary of rope. We cover material for both the person tying and the person being tied. 

Teachers: Chad, BreAna (and possibly others depending on class size)
