Butterfly loves the intimate art of Japanese rope bondage or Shibari and enjoys sharing her knowledge with other practitioners. Butterfly has been teaching workshops, masterclasses and private lessons in Shibari for almost 10 years, she teaches technical ties, floor work, suspension, biomechanics, movement of body and energy, as well as creativity and aesthetics. She has experience in both top and bottom roles. This provides a valuable knowledge for her. Her classes take place in a relaxed atmosphere, with room for humour and everyone’s personal contribution, where she will examine knowledge and skills that will let you experiment further.

Butterfly offers different bondage workshops. One of her most famous workshops is the connective bondage workshop. In it, rope is a mean to make deeper contact with each other and it avoids unnecessary complications. She also offers the Shibari Basics XL workshop, where you will learn the basic shibari techniques, Valentine’s workshop: bondage for sex, which is perfect to spice up your sex life with rope, as well as Masterclasses in all levels, and Private tuition.

Butterfly also believes that using Creativity over technique is a great idea and a good atmosphere in the workshop. Everyone is included, no matter age, gender, orientation, or body type.
