Body Bamboo

In this workshop, we’ll explore the unique possibilities that emerge when bamboo is attached directly to the body. You’ll learn foundational techniques for securing bamboo safely and effectively, balancing aesthetics with structure. We’ll cover pressure distribution, movement, and creative applications for both floor play and partial suspension.

Whether you’re after striking visuals, new body mechanics, or inventive sensory play, this class offers a hands-on introduction to bamboo as a partner in your rope practice.

You’ll Learn:

– How to attach bamboo to your partner with an eye towards both immobility and joint safety

– Classic approaches to body bamboo for play, both on the floor and in partial suspension

This class is part of our 301 class track, taught on the second Saturday and third Sunday of the month.

301 classes are designed for tying pairs preparing to explore suspension. You should be confident tying harnesses and managing rope under tension. We’ll focus on building the knowledge, skills, and communication habits that make suspension smoother - and safer - for everyone involved.

You Should Know:

– Students tying should be very comfortable tying harnesses on the body. Not sure if that’s you? Join us for a Shibari 201 workshop for a refresher.

– Students being tied should have some experience communicating while in rope and processing intense sensations.

– Students should be comfortable giving and receiving feedback.

– We will not be teaching uplines in this class - please review them in advance.

You Should Bring:

– Your full rope kit - enough rope to tie both an upper- and lower-body harness, plus several uplines - and a cutting tool

– Harnesses you are already familiar with (your own or classic patterns)

– A notebook or something to take notes on

– Curiosity and a collaborative attitude
