đżâ¨ Introduction to Shibari â Entry Level Course â¨đż
Shibari is more than just knots â itâs an intimate practice of connection, energy, and power dynamics. In this course, weâll explore not only the techniques, but also the depth, intention, the playfulness and history behind Shibari. Rope can be a language â one of presence, trust, and embodied magic.
đThe Flow of the courseđ
We will start by gently landing together with tea while talking about the depths of Shibari â its philosophy, history, and the energy behind the ropes. This will be followed by a short Shibari performance to inspire and give a felt sense of the art, before moving into practicing a versatile standard knot and two traditional Japanese harnesses.
đŤ This course is for complete beginners â no previous knowledge or experience required. You can come as a couple or alone. Two of the techniques can be practiced on yourself, and for the last harness you may pair up with someone (though a tying buddy isnât guaranteed).

đWho is your teacher?đ
Sofia Su has been teaching since 2020, and what makes her teaching unique is her intimacy-based approach â focusing on connection, surrender, trust, and the immersive energy that rope can open up. For her, Shibari is not only a skill, but also a tool for deeper connection, healing, and letting go. That is why she also creates rope performances that are more like rituals than shows, and offers private Shibari sessions as healing work for those who wish to explore the practice on a deeper, personal level. đż You can read more about her work and offerings on her website: www.sofiasu.ooo
đ Optional grounding before the course:
Book a float session at www.thesage.no for deep relaxation and presence. Youâll receive 30% off with code "LOL2025" (valid MondayâThursday for single or duo floats).
We are looking forward to showing you the depth, playfulness and excitement of rope!
