Updated: Oct 4, 2022

We understand that choosing an appropriate class may be somewhat confusing, especially if you haven’t previously dabbled in shibari before or this is your first dive into studying the art of Japanese rope bondage.


Las Vegas Bondage Classes currently offers both private classes and public group workshops that allow you to explore; each with its own purpose which we’ll be happy to discuss to ensure that you make the right decision when choosing your shibari class with us.


Now, the very first step to getting started is becoming an LVBC site member; becoming a member is free and keeps our community safe. Once approved, you'll have access to the instructors' schedules and have the ability to book your class.

Now, let's discuss Las Vegas Bondage Classes current class and workshop options to give you some clarity on what might be right for you.



PRIVATE CLASSES


Each class is private, personalized, and 100% confidential. Virtually meet your instructor (from anywhere) first to discuss your application and class expectations. Classes are suitable for one to four people and can be held at your hotel, home, instructor's studio (subject to availability), or any other space which is subject to approval by LVBC.


Preliminary Course


This is where your journey with LVBC begins if you have never booked a private, in-person shibari class with us before. The Preliminary Course is a mandatory virtual discovery session with your instructor that lasts about 15 minutes (over Zoom) - and is required to be completed before attending your first private class or workshop.


We understand that for many of you reading this, this is probably your first introduction to shibari bondage and if we had to guess, you probably have more questions than answers at this point. The goal of this virtual course is to help answer some of your questions, put your mind at ease, and prepare you before heading into a private and personalized shibari class. Intended to be about 15 minutes long, this virtual session was created with a few purposes in mind:

  • You (our client) and the instructor have the chance to see each other, virtually meet, and give consent before the private hands-on class.

  • Go over the client’s application; discuss any potential triggers, personal ailments, class expectations, questions or concerns you may have.

  • Ensure that the location where the private class is intended to be held is safe, free of distractions, and conducive to learning.

  • Allow the instructor to personalize your private class based on what was discussed.

  • Make sure that this is something you actually want to move forward with!

The practice of shibari is an intimate, vulnerable, and potentially dangerous experience. It is imperative that you not only feel safe with your instructor, but are confident that they can help you achieve your desired goals and results. And sometimes, we understand that after taking the Preliminary Course you decide that maybe this whole rope bondage thing isn’t for you after all… and that’s okay too!

Single’s Beginner Class (Self-Tie)


Many individuals who embark on the shibari journey, often begin by learning rope tying techniques that can be performed by and on themselves. In fact, this is a great opportunity to feel the rope on your own skin, understand where the rope should


(and shouldn’t rest), how tight the rope should be, what is good pain (and what is bad pain), and the best part is that you don’t need a partner to practice with. For many, tying can be a meditative experience, and being tied up releases oxytocin; the same chemical that is released when you give or receive a hug.


This results in anxiety reduction, significantly lower levels of stress and overall increased happy feelings.


WHAT YOU GET:

  • 1.5 hour private & personalized class

  • 100% confidential & discreet

  • Choose from Las Vegas' most sought- after shibari instructors

  • Complimentary jute rope ($35 value)

  • Class takes place at hotel, Airbnb, instructor's studio (subject to availability)

  • Learn foundational shibari skills and ties

  • Suitable for all skill levels

Learning to self-tie shibari has many benefits including:

  • You only need yourself and your rope, so you have the ability to practice anywhere!

  • Feel good and reduce stress by releasing oxytocin

  • This can be a meditative and calming practice.

  • You get first-hand experience to see where the rope is supposed to be placed on your body, what it should feel like, and how tight it should be.

  • In the event that you are getting tied up by someone else you’ll be able to identify the difference between good and bad pain and be aware if something feels off.


Many shibari enthusiasts began right here, with the simplicity of self-tie. Already booked your Preliminary Class and this is your thing? Book your Single's Self-Tie Class now!

Shibari is an excellent way to enhance communication, encourage teamwork, and also a great opportunity to learn something new together with your partner(s). We recommend reading this article by Carrie Borzillo on meditative bondage (as if you really needed more reasons to discover shibari with your partner), this helps to open one's eyes to shibari outside of sexuality. And even those of you who have a partner but are thinking “they’ll never do this with me”... it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask and be open about your desires.


For some, it may be easier to explore this alone while others may want to explore this safely in a group environment. If you fall into the last category, checking out our Group Workshops might be the best introduction to shibari for you.
