Embodiment Rope Space

We are the first Shibari studio in South Africa '21
Community | Craft | Intention | Humility | Rope This is a queer space. Pleasure is political. No shoes.

The Ethos of Embodiment Rope Space:

This is a sex-positive, kink-positive, pleasure-centric space. Friends of LGBTQIA+ people are welcome. We believe that rope is for every body. We challenge our pre-conceptions in this space. Community is essential for safety. We learn more when we learn together. Open hearts and open minds are welcome here. Treat others as you wish to be treated. We share this

space out of joy and the pursuit of pleasure. Consent can be revoked at any time. We practice RACK. We share information and experiences about safety freely. We take responsibility for our mistakes.

Non-negotiable Rules:

Respect the space. Leave no trace - whatever you bring, take it back with you. Ego has no place here. Learn and share with humility. Until the end of the pandemic, masks will be worn in the space. For longer workshops, you will be provided with an N95 mask. Keep underwear on at public events. Nipples may be free. Do not make unsolicited comments about anyone else's body. Do not take any photos of anyone in attendance without consent. Do not reveal the identity of anyone you meet in the space once you leave. Many people prefer anonymity. Be discrete when moving through other parts of the premises - the coffee shop staff downstairs did not consent to witnessing your kinks.

About the space:

The space is in an industrial building in Salt River with secure parking and 24/7 security. The space is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible: it is up two flight of stairs. We are able to bring our offerings to you if you are unable to access the space. The space is set up for rope, with floor-to-floor mats and hard points for suspension. There is a small store room available to store your personal belongings.

A little lift, a little tension, a whole new dimension. 🌈🪢

Explore the feeling of being lifted and supported through rope while staying grounded in safety, connection, and play. We’ll be working with “booty basket” style ties and introducing the dynamics that come with partial suspension.

This is an intermediate-level jam intended for those already comfortable with:

• Single column ties
• Basic frictions

While suspension can be an advanced practice, this session focuses on accessible partials, with almost all body weight remaining on the floor.

Most importantly, this is a q***r-only space, created for LGBTQIAP+ people to explore, learn, connect, and play alongside community. Allies, we love you, but please sit this one out.

Sh***ri is more than just tying. It’s about presence, intention, and the subtle dynamics created between people, bodies, rope, and space.

In this jam, we explore how small gestures, positioning, and awareness can shape a powerful exchange in your ties.

Whether you’re completely new or experienced, you’re welcome. Come as you are, learn something new, or simply drop into practice with the community.

No prior experience needed. All skill levels are welcome.
