Shibari

curriculum

At Bound Studio, we offer beginner level workshops in both a group format and private setting. We limit our workshops at 8 couples to ensure hand’s on guidance and an intimate setting. Our approach to rope is to create aesthetically and visually appealling ties that enhance the human form through rope.
