Shibari

A space for you to learn how to tie, get tied and experience shibari

Shibari has been woven through my life since I first discovered it in Berlin, back when I was getting sober and trying to figure out who I was in this new city. It gave me something I didn't even know I was looking for... community, yes, but also this way of connecting with myself that felt completely different from anything I'd experienced before.

I spent years studying there, learning from different teachers, understanding not just the technical side but how rope can create these moments of real intimacy and presence between people. When COVID hit and I moved to Sofia, I brought that knowledge with me... and honestly, teaching shibari here has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my week.

I work mostly with beginners - they're absolutely my favorite because there's this beautiful moment when someone realizes they don't need to be perfect to create something meaningful with rope. I also run advanced beginner classes for people who want to go deeper but aren't quite ready for the really complex stuff yet.

Here's what I believed when I started (and what most people think): you need to master dozens of ties before you can actually play or connect with someone through rope. But that's just not how it works. You need to understand safety, absolutely. You need to grasp basic dynamics and communication. Beyond that? One well-placed knot, some thoughtful friction, and genuine attention to your partner can create these incredible moments of connection and vulnerability.

When I teach, everything revolves around the person being tied and the connection between the tying partners. I'm not interested in forcing anyone into a specific style or making someone's body fit a particular harness if it doesn't feel right for them.

Shibari should adapt to you, not the other way around.

This is space to discover what works for your body, your relationship, your way of connecting.
