Shibari Tutorials & Safety Notice
We’ve put together a collection of basic Shibari tutorials to help you get started. Shibari can be a beautiful and intimate practice, but it also carries real risks. Your safety is our top priority, so we strongly recommend approaching this practice with caution and respect.
Please remember:
- Be careful and precautious at all times.
- Do not tie if you don’t have the necessary skills or are not in the right state of mind or physical condition.
- Educate yourself. Our tutorials are only an introduction — we highly recommend attending proper workshops to learn hands-on from experienced teachers.
- We offer workshops where you can practice in a safe and supervised environment.
By using our tutorials, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety. We cannot be held liable for any harm, injury, or damage that may result from practicing Shibari.
