Shutting out the commotion of life can be hard. Society says we’re not enough. That little voice in our minds fills us with self doubt. Day in and day out, we battle energies and expectations that seek to tear us down. Our world’s noise is constant.

In a contradiction of expectations, the tighter we are held, often the more free we feel. For almost everyone, even those with claustrophobia, calculated restraint is frequently a gateway to relief. Just like a strong hug, systematic compression, often combined with partial or full suspension, releases oxytocin and endorphins. This effectively quiets the mind, much like a form of meditation. Welcome to the beautiful silence and peace found in Shibari.

If you’re an adult who is active in clear and consistent communication, and are body-aware, then rope is open to you. No matter your size. No matter your age. No matter your gender. Shibari is for everyone, and Everyone looks amazing in rope.
