Intermediate @ Inner Space Studio - Wednesday

With what intention do you tie? From the exploration of form to techniques with which to maximize connection with one's partner in rope, these weekly classes will take all, from novice to seasoned player, on a deep dive into their shibari practice.

Classes are mixed level (intermediate / advanced) and are tailored to each individual's skill level in rope. Spaces strictly limited. Private classes available on request (advanced and other levels).

Term 4 - October / November / December 2025:

October 1/8/15/22/29

November 5/12/19/26

**This is a partnered class. Please make arrangements for a tying partner well in advance. Alternatively, a model can be booked at extra cost.**
