Shibari is easier than it seems
In this course we introduce powerful, yet very simple, concepts, techniques, rules and “ingredients” that will allow you to tie creatively and competently. This is much more valuable than simply showing the steps of a selection of ties, because you know what they say: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”.
The many practical examples presented of how to use the basic “ingredients” will help you easily understand the concepts and processes of the tying mechanism. Through their understanding, it will become easy to build your own ties, while learning to avoid mistakes. This grows confidence and competence, which are essential to expressing dominance and passion.
If you thought shibari was complicated, you’ll be amazed to find out that most ties are mostly variations of one or two simple “ingredients”!
“The reasoning behind each movement, the efficiency of the string and how energy is transmitted through the strings were explained. IT IS AWESOME!!!” – Myself
“I wanted to extend a warm thank you from me and Minervamedica for your wonderful courses at shibariclasses.com. It is a truly incredible and useful resource for us to learn and practice.” – Diespater & Minervamedica
To paint a masterpiece, you need to know how to use the brush
This course is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to tie creatively and safely, but also for those with a little more experience, who want to extend their skills and knowledge.
To paint a masterpiece, you need to know how to use a brush and we believe that the same is true with shibari . The first step is to understand how to use your tools and materials, not just “paint by numbers”. From this solid foundation, learning becomes fast and easy.
What does the course cover?
In almost 300 minutes of video, the “ingredients” are explained and you will be guided through the ties showing how and where they can be used. With this knowledge, creating your own “recipes” (ties) is easy. Above all, you will learn the secrets of rope management, communication and aesthetics.
You can see from the curriculum below the depth and breadth of this course.

About Nina Russ
Nina Russ is a London based, shibari performer, rope artist and educator. She became a student of Esinem in 2011 and their collaboration gave birth to BOUND shibari night (2012) and ShibariClasses (2015). She also had the fortune to participate in workshops with different Japanese shibari masters, like: Kazami Ranki, Yukimura Haruki, Kinoko Hajime.
She has performed internationally, most notably at the London Festival of the Art of Japanese Rope Bondage and RopeFest in St.Petersburg. In addition, she participates in numerous artistic, fashion collaborations and local performances. Her passion for rope has led her on a route of discovery of concepts, philosophy, aesthetics and benefits behind this Japanese discipline.
She sees shibari as an art form which creates deep connection between the participants and also aids personal development. Due to its martial arts roots, it brings self-discipline, efficiency, effectiveness and, thus, growth in confidence and awareness. She believes these skills allow a greater focus on the most important aspects: you, your partner and your shared experience.
Rope is simply a means of communication. She wants you to discover through her tying, the language of rope, which speaks directly to the mind and body.
