Rope Salon June Editions


Join us, let’s tie!

You’re warmly invited to an evening of rope, connection, and quiet exploration.

Rope Salon is a relaxed, social space where you can come with a partner or arrive open to meeting someone new.

Whether you're here to tie, be tied, or switch roles, you're welcome to explore at your own pace.

Ropes are our love language!


What to expect?

We begin with a brief introduction circle to see who’s in the room and what people feel open to that night. This helps set the tone and create a shared sense of awareness.
Afterwards, we ease into a warm-up activity, something light and grounding to help everyone settle in, whether it’s rope-based or a simple communication practice.

From there, the studio opens up for free rope play. The lights dim, the music softens, and you're invited to explore in the way that feels right for you. Our space is equipped with bamboo and single suspension points. If suspension is part of your practice, please bring your own ring.

Important!

This rope evening is open to everyone. All identities, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. As a queer, BIPOC-led studio, we encourage you to engage with others respectfully and with care, helping to create a space where freedom of expression and playful rope exploration can thrive.

Take a moment to check in with yourself and your partners. Notice your physical boundaries, your emotional state, and the kind of connection you’re open to sharing that evening. Rope interactions are a shared experience, with responsibility for safety and enjoyment held equally by both people. Clear communication, mutual care, and active consent make the experience meaningful and safe for everyone involved.

You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, speak your boundaries, and engage in ways that feel grounded and safe. We ask that you only use techniques you feel confident in and approach each interaction with trust and respect.

Bedroom Bondage
Sept
5

Bedroom Bondage

Gorgone’s workshop w

elcomes to the sultry side of shibari.
In this 3-hour workshop, Gorgone invites you into an intimate exploration of rope for sex, intimacy, and power play in the bedroom.

This is a space for curiosity, joy, and unapologetic kink, designed for couples, play partners, or solo rope lovers ready to get close, dirty, and creative.

We’ll begin with a strap-on rope harness, a quick and effective build for gender play and control. Then, we’ll move into chest ties designed for laying down, emphasizing comfort, exposure, and aesthetics.

Next, we’ll explore playful ties for teasing, revealing, and restraining ties for sexual play and S&M scenarios, with variations for use on the floor or in partial suspension.

We’ll finish by exploring rope as accent and extension, binding hair, face, fingers, toes, and crotch to create heightened sensation, vulnerability, and delicious tension.


Expect technical tips, improvisational ideas, and lots of filthy inspiration.



Gorgone 

(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.

Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.

Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences. 

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness. 

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".

For whom is this workshop?

  • Suitable for Riggers on a beginner/intermediate level.

  • For solo participants or couples.

  • The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.

What to bring?

  • A set of 6 to 8 (full length) ropes.

  • Your lover/friend and your dirtiest imagination.

  • We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.

Motion and Intention
Sept
6

Motion and Intention

This is a floor-based workshop mixing rope techniques and movement/embodiment practices.

 

Gorgone and her model will discuss and demonstrate the importance of posture, movement, body language and spatiality in a rope session. 

How you choose to place yourself around your partner, finding your points of balance and imbalance, exploring each other's centre of gravity and being intentional about how you move your own and your partner's body will greatly affect the mood of your rope scenes. 

Everyone's body and mobility is different, so it is important to explore and develop your own language. This class doesn't aim to tell you what to do or not to do, but rather to invite you to explore this communication tool and find what works for you and your partners.


Shibari can be highly technical and intricate but before losing ourselves in the fancy techniques, we should remember that bondage can also be a sensual, playful and emotional practice. 

It is not about "rope - on the body" but about "the body - in rope

Fly Strong
Sept
7

Fly Strong

This program was designed to help build/restore confidence in the model’s body and capabilities as well as reinforcing the rigger’s understanding of rope-body mechanics in suspension. 

It is ideal for riggers and models new to suspension or feeling stuck in their progress due to insecurities on either side of the rope. 

The main focus of this workshop is the research for the optimal use of the body in ropes and how to achieve 'comfortable' suspensions, concentrating on positional studies rather than complex sequences. 

The goal is to develop more awareness, confidence and autonomy in both partners in order to achieve stronger partnerships and more rewarding experiences.

Dynamic Bodies
Jun
15

Dynamic Bodies

This is a full day workshop addressed to riggers and models interested in exploring dynamic suspensions and transitions.



The content of this weekend focuses on a more acrobatic and athletic approach to rope suspension. The sequences are fast paced, technically challenging and physically taxing for the models.



The program aims to help both riggers and models develop mutual awareness and autonomy in order to successfully support each other in the process of executing a more dynamic and challenging suspension sequence. The goal is to learn how to use and enjoy various states of mind-body such as tension and relaxation, stress positions and resting positions, autonomous movement and surrender… 



(NOTE: Advanced Workshop - Riggers should master suspension line management before attending this class; the sequences are challenging and models should not suffer unnecessarily because riggers hesitate with their up-lines.)

Chaotic Bodies
Jun
14

Chaotic Bodies

Torment, Pleasure and Courage



This is an advanced workshop focusing on exploring a more extreme and tortuous approach to rope. The modules of this class are less generic and demand from both part a stronger sense of adaptation to less predictable structures. 



This workshop is more challenging for the body-mind, playing and experimenting with more painful and chaotic structures and processes. While «Fly Strong» and «Dynamic Bodies» focus on understanding the body in order to navigate within its limits and optimise comfort and predictability, the goal here is to 'negotiate with the body-mind‘ in order to push it closer or beyond its limits.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Advanced Workshop- Riggers should master suspension line management before attending this class. Riggers and models should have experience tying together and feel comfortable sharing exercises focusing on the eroticising of suffering and vulnerability.

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".

TK Lab
Jun

TK Lab

This class focuses on the theoretical foundations of the TK, a fundamental shibari tie.

The TK is versatile and incorporates many essential elements, such as tension, body mechanics, frictions, and safety considerations.

Gorgone emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach due to differences in style, priorities, body types, and needs.Key topics covered include:

•  Variations of the TK: Exploring different styles and adaptations based on individual requirements.


•  Safety and Placement: Understanding nerve safety and effective rope placement to avoid injuries.


•  Building Blocks of Rope Bondage: Learning how the TK integrates core techniques like tension control and body manipulation.


•  Insights from experience: Gorgone shares over a decade of knowledge in practicing and refining this tie.

This class sets the stage for practical applications by providing a comprehensive understanding of the TK’s structure and purpose.


Gorgone 

(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.

Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.

Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences. 

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness. 

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".

For whom is this workshop?

  • It is suitable for beginners to advance Riggers.

  • Rigger and model, switching rolls is not allowed.

  • This is a partnered/couples only, not solo participants.

  • The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.

  • All levels, styles and dynamics are welcome.

What to bring?

  • Your own set of ropes, at least 4 to 5 full length (8 meters) and 2 half length.

  • We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

Self-tying for Beginners
May
31

Self-tying for Beginners

Self-tying was my introduction to rope bondage, and I began exploring it as a way to manage anxiety, reconnect with my body, and ease daily stress.
I was surprised by the mindfulness and calm that emerged from the practice-focusing on the rope and my breath brought me into the present moment, helping to quiet my mind and reduce tension.

The sensations of the rope often felt grounding, almost like a gentle embrace, and offered a unique sense of comfort and control. Practicing on myself first gave me confidence, a better understanding of safety, of tension, patterns, and technique.



This workshop offers a supportive space to start your own practice. Whether you’re interested in self-tying for personal exploration or want to build confidence before tying with others, you’ll find opportunities to develop your skills, connect with your body, and experience the unique mindfulness that rope can bring.

Join me in this class, and let's explore together all the different benefits that a self-tying rope bondage practice can offer.

Papi


Workshop’s content:

  • Basics of ties, knots, frictions, you'll receive expert guidance on achieving the right tension.

  • Exploring techniques and freestyle for every part of our body.

  • We will integrate breathing, self awareness and grounding exercises.

  • Risk and safety.   

For who is this workshop?

  • Folks with no experience or that want to explore tying on their own body.

  • This is a solo tying workshop, but feel free to come with a friend if you wish. All the content is designed to practice on your own body.

  • For folks that are interested in learning Shibari inspired rope bondage techniques.

What to bring?

  •  As we mentioned, we have ropes to borrow you during the workshop, but if you have your own, please bring them too.

  •   We will be tying on the floor, and we have yoga matts and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks (we will have tea for everyone)

  • Last but not least, bring a lot of curiosity and an open mind to connect to yourself!

Rope Salon
May
29

Rope Salon


Join us, let’s tie!

This is a social event, designed for you to tie with your own partner or with new rope-minded people.

The perfect open studio setting to explore, practice and connect in an inclusive queer-led environment.

If it is in your practise, our lovely studio have several suspension points, bamboo and single points (bring your own suspension ring).

With our splendid music taste and cosy lighting we will set the mood for a great rope evening together.

Ropes are our love language!


What to expect?

We start the evening with a quick introduction circle. It works as a quick forecast to know who’s in the mood for rigging, being tied up, or switching.
It is always fun to start with a group activity to break the ice and warm up. These activities can be either rope- or communication-oriented. After this, we indulge in rope play: lights get cozier, music volume goes up, and we tie.

Important.

Consent and negotiation are super sexy. We are diving into an activity in which the responsibility is divided 50/50, and your partner can only know as much as you share with them.
Know your boundaries not only related to intimacy and play but also physically. We can have the more fun when we guide our partners with clear communication.

Last but no least, play onlky with techniques you are familiar with, we only play safe.

What to bring?

  • Your own Ropes

  • Other gear you want to play with

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes. you are allowed to tie topless, bottoms stay on.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.

Drawing Bondage

Drawing Bondage


We are back?

Join us for our Life Drawing session, a space where the worlds of BDSM and art come together.

This event is about exploring the visual and emotional impact of rope, form, and connection, all through your own creative lens.


What to expect?

Shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage, is more than technique it’s about connection, consent, and creative expression. These sessions offer a chance to observe and capture the unique relationship between rigger and model, and the powerful mix of vulnerability, strength, and beauty that emerges

During the session, David will guide the drawing process while Papi works with the ropes together with a gorgeous male model. You’ll have the chance to sketch a range of dynamic poses, from floor work to half and full suspensions. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, you’ll find inspiration in the interplay between body, rope, and atmosphere.

This is not a class, but a guided drawing experience. David will be on hand to offer feedback and suggestions as you work.
Bring your favorite drawing materials-pencils, colored pencils, or digital devices are all welcome.
We recommend comfortable clothing so you can focus on your art.
Your first drink is on us, so settle in and enjoy the creative energy. We aim to foster a relaxed, respectful environment where everyone can explore and express themselves

Playful Ropes
May
17

Playful Ropes

Ropes are a great way to connect with each other.

Just two bodies and some rope create a space for intimacy.
But there are also many ways to connect rope bondage to other intimate practices!

In this workshop we focus on using ropes to play with other tools and practices: we focus on manipulating the body so that we can incorporate other sensations, like impact play, playing with power dynamics, and using ropes to build up to sex.

Playful Ropes is a workshop to bring your rope bondage practice to a more connective, playful, or sexual level. Starting from basic ties, we will explore different shapes to play with our partner’s body.


Workshop’s content:

  • Safety and consent: basic risk assessments and discussing how to play safely and navigate consent when you start incorporating other practices into your bondage practice (both verbally and physically)

  • Knots and frictions: technical information on knots and frictions that we will be using in the rest of the workshop

  • Shapes: we will explore the ways we can use rope to create different shapes with our partner’s body, in order to play with elements like exposure, shame, pain, objectification, and sexual interaction.

  • We will go through several demo’s of ties that you will have time to practice, and we will end with some time to play with your partner, combining different elements from the workshop.

  • Although this workshop is directed at some sexual practices, this is not a sexual (play) space. There is no nudity or sexual engagement in the workshop space, but we will explore safe ways that you may combine later in your personal practice.

For whom is this workshop?

  • You have to know a solid single column tie, and be familiar with basic frictions (you should be up to speed if you have followed our Ropes for Beginners workshop!).

  • This workshop is also suitable if you’ve been tying for longer, but wish to gain more fluidity and intention to your rope sessions, and start combining other elements.

  • This workshop is only for couples, a rigger and a model, for a smooth workshop experience these roles do not change during the workshop. It is not possible to take part as a solo participant.

What to bring?

  • You will need 4 full length ropes (8 meters each) and 2 half length.

  •  We will be tying on the floor, and we have yoga matts and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

Rope Salon
May
15

Rope Salon


Join us, let’s tie!

This is a social event, designed for you to tie with your own partner or with new rope-minded people.

The perfect open studio setting to explore, practice and connect in an inclusive queer-led environment.

If it is in your practise, our lovely studio have several suspension points, bamboo and single points (bring your own suspension ring).

With our splendid music taste and cosy lighting we will set the mood for a great rope evening together.

Ropes are our love language!


What to expect?

We start the evening with a quick introduction circle. It works as a quick forecast to know who’s in the mood for rigging, being tied up, or switching. It is always fun to start with a group activity to break the ice and warm up. These activities can be either rope- or communication-oriented. After this, we indulge in rope play: lights get cozier, music volume goes up, and we tie.

Important.

Consent and negotiation are super sexy. We are diving into an activity in which the responsibility is divided 50/50, and your partner can only know as much as you share with them.
Know your boundaries not only related to intimacy and play but also physically. We can have the more fun when we guide our partners with clear communication.

Last but no least, play onlky with techniques you are familiar with, we only play safe.

What to bring?

  • Your own Ropes

  • Other gear you want to play with

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes. you are allowed to tie topless, bottoms stay on.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.


Important

We are a BIPOC queer-led organisation and in our events we do not tolerate racism, discrimination, sexism, homophobia or transphobia.
During the entire event or workshop we do not allow the use of any mobile or electronic devices to record the content and we will ask you to keep all your devices on silent mode.

Rope for Romantics
Apr
12

Rope for Romantics

Fluency with the body allows for storytelling. In a fun and carefree environment, we will cover the core positions of our practice and undertake exercises to understand your partner's body.
Play is at the heart of this practice and will open up areas for creativity and exploration.

We will explore mindful movement focusing on listening to your partner and tuning into their natural rhythm.

When we feel in sync with our partners, movement becomes intuitive. It then becomes possible to modulate the quality of touch to communicate an emotion or feeling with each gesture.
The gestures and movements created will act as phrases and will be used to weave a non-linguistic narrative
Our approach emphasizes consent, communication, and mutual respect with a focus on using consent as a tool for compassion.

This one-day workshop has been co-devised by Conor and Eveline and presents a personal and intimate look into their approach to rope at the intersection of performance and romance. Regularly using themes of tenderness, anticipation and longing, their practice pairs the performative aspects of play with dynamic and considered movement. This workshop will explore the theatre of movement and how body manipulation and somatic composition are essential to unlocking and exploring the juicy, hypnotic emotional landscapes of rope.
The workshop will be predominantly floor-based, using just a few ropes to explore the nuances of this emotional landscape.


Conor Aphilia (he, they, his)

Shibari-focused SWer, educator, and the owner of Aphilia Studio in London. His practice integrates rope as an extension of his broader k1nk interests, using it to explore nuanced and often challenging emotional and physical states. Regularly working with beginners and those new to the practice, his body-centric and intentional approach is shaped by professional experience, ensuring that each encounter is a dialogue rather than a predetermined experience. For Conor, Shibari is a tool for physical communication, where aesthetics, compositions, and patterns are guided by the needs of the scene and the individuals involved. His work prioritizes safety, exploration, and the creation of new emotional spaces in which people can navigate their experiences with excitement and care.  

Informed by the techniques and aesthetics of Japanese masters, Conor has developed an inclusive style that welcomes individuals of all backgrounds. His years of study have led to a distinctive blend of Western and Eastern influences, further shaped by his background in design. This evolving approach to rope play transcends traditional boundaries, celebrating diversity and fostering deeper connections through sensuality, trust, and artistic expression.

Eveline

Drawn to the beauty and perversion of struggle, Eveline was captivated by Shibari—a language of tension, control, and surrender that spoke to her in ways nothing else could. Her six years in the kink scene have been a journey of exploration, transformation, and deep connection, with rope becoming the most profound expression of her desires. With a background in dance, movement is instinctual, and in rope, she doesn’t just endure—she moves, plays, and breathes within the constraints. Her performances are a delicate balance of resistance and release, sensuality and suffering, where each tie speaks of longing, defiance, and the raw vulnerability of surrender.


For whom is this workshop?

  • This workshop is not suitable for absolute beginners; fluency in single-column and the basics of rope handling are minimum requirements.

  • Riggers learning together with their model, no switching rolls during the workshop.

  • The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.

What to bring?

  • Your own set of ropes 5 to 7 full length and 2 half length. 

  • We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.

Fly Strong
Mar
9

Fly Strong

This program was designed to help build/restore confidence in the model’s body and capabilities as well as reinforcing the rigger’s understanding of rope-body mechanics in suspension. 

It is ideal for riggers and models new to suspension or feeling stuck in their progress due to insecurities on either side of the rope. 

The main focus of this workshop is the research for the optimal use of the body in ropes and how to achieve 'comfortable' suspensions, concentrating on positional studies rather than complex sequences. 

The goal is to develop more awareness, confidence and autonomy in both partners in order to achieve stronger partnerships and more rewarding experiences. 


Gorgone 

(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.

Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.

Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences. 

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness. 

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".

For whom is this workshop?

  • This is a partnered/couples only, not solo participants. Switching rolls is not allowed.

  • Important skills required for this workshop: Practitioners that are able to do partial suspension and are confident doing suspension lines.

  • The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.

  • All levels, styles and dynamics are welcome

What to bring?

  • Your own set of ropes, at least 8 to 10 full length (8 meters) and 2 to 4 half length.

  •  We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.

Motion and Intention 
Mar
8

Motion and Intention 

This is a floor-based workshop mixing rope techniques and movement/embodiment practices.

 

Gorgone and her model will discuss and demonstrate the importance of posture, movement, body language and spatiality in a rope session. 

How you choose to place yourself around your partner, finding your points of balance and imbalance, exploring each other's centre of gravity and being intentional about how you move your own and your partner's body will greatly affect the mood of your rope scenes. 

Everyone's body and mobility is different, so it is important to explore and develop your own language. This class doesn't aim to tell you what to do or not to do, but rather to invite you to explore this communication tool and find what works for you and your partners.


Shibari can be highly technical and intricate but before losing ourselves in the fancy techniques, we should remember that bondage can also be a sensual, playful and emotional practice. 

It is not about "rope - on the body" but about "the body - in rope

Bottoming Skills for Rope
Mar
7

Bottoming Skills for Rope

This class is designed for both, Rigger and Rope Bottom, to deepen your understanding of bottoming skills in rope bondage.

Focusing on enhancing both the physical and emotional aspects of the experience.

We will explore key concepts like:

  • goals vs. intentions.

  • control vs. power.

  • passive vs. active bottoming.

You’ll gain essential tools for better communication and mutual awareness, learn how to establish your personal risk profile, and navigate the complexities of consent and negotiation.

Through guided sharing circles, you’ll reflect on your experiences and gain insights into your bottoming journey.

The workshop also covers practical skills like hand-checks and body awareness exercises.

Whether you’re new to rope or looking to refine your skills, this workshop will provide the foundational tools for a mindful, safer, and more empowered rope experience.


Gorgone 

(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.

Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.

Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences. 

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness. 

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".

For whom is this workshop?

Suitable for everyone:

  • Solo participants or couples.

  • Rigger and model

  • The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.

  • All levels, styles and dynamics are welcome

What to bring?

  •  We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. 

  • If you like to take notes: a notebook and pen.

  • Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes.

  • A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.

  • A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.
