All workshops at our Aijō Dojo

Our workshops invite you to experience Shibari and Kinbaku not only as a bondage technique, but as an intense form of encounter. Rope becomes a means to feel closeness, build trust, and fully engage in the moment. It is about conscious togetherness, devotion and guidance, and the subtle interplay between control and letting go.

Shibari intimate floor Workshop

This beginner workshop is designed for people who want to experience and learn deep emotions, genuine intimacy, and the art of Shibari and Japanese bondage in an intensive floor session.

The focus is not purely on technical knotting, but on creating a safe space where tying becomes a fluid, non-verbal communication between rigger and model.
