While Shibari is most commonly enjoyed with a partner, this workshop is inclusive of solo participants. Exercises can be practiced by yourself, and pairing with other solo attendees is entirely optional and at your discretion. If you'd like, invite a friend or partner to join you! Introductory classes like this are also a fantastic way to meet others in your area who share an interest in rope.
