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.
