This day is an a la carte excerpt from our Hashira Immersion Weekend

In this one-day workshop we will study fundamental techniques for iconic hashira shibari.Hashira Shibari is the Japanese inspired rope bondage art of tying someone to an upright post, beam, or column. Translating to "pole or pillar binding," this advanced technique restricts movement by pressing the partner against a stationary surface, creating deep immobility, intense weight distribution, and strong erotic tension.Before modern ceiling suspensions and bamboo rigs, tying to architectural pillars (or hashira) was the standard method of choice in historic Japanese homes. The post can act as a rigid anchor point to achieve kneeling, seated, standing, or partial suspension scenes.Additional hashiras will be installed around The Rope Room for this weekend

More about the focus of "The Hashira Workshop"

In particular we will focus on:

Saturday Morning: Using the Pole as a Co-Top
The pole is much more than just a series of hard points.  It is an imposing physical character in the scene.  This session will teach: (1) the breadth of play possibilities on the pole; (2) how pole play can be a series of dynamic transitions through a continuous D/s experience, and (3) how time on the pole can actually teach the players the skill of giving and receiving dominant touch. 
 
This session will also teach additional variations of “classic” hashira suspension that was introduced the night before 
 
Saturday Afternoon: Pole Variations 
This session will go beyond the “classic” hashira suspension and cover other variations such has side suspension, full inversion, and vertical hog ties.
