Language: This class will be given in Japanese and translated to English and Dutch

In this 3-hour workshop Kasumi-san and Oto-san will cover:

1. Binding that incorporates the Japanese way of body movement. Japanese-style movements are basic movements which are sometimes quiet and slow and sometimes quick and dynamic. They contribute to the communication the shibarite (rope top) builds with the ukete (rope bottom). Kasumi san will also address the importance of using pause while tying.

2. You will learn to tie a TK harness in accordance with your partner’s breathing to get in sync with each other. You will explore the use of tension that feels comfortable to your rope bottom.

3. Kasumi san will teach two bondage patterns that are easy to play with and not likely to place unwanted strain or load on yourmodel. These patterns are safe to keep your rope bottomtied up for a long time.
