Shibari for Every Body – Inclusive Rope Class

curated by Shibari Dojo

7 September 2025, London

For the very first time in London, MaestroBD – Davide La Greca, founder of Shibari Dojo, offers an inclusive and accessible Shibari class for anyone wishing to explore rope as a tool for connection, listening, and care.

⁠“If you’ve been told you couldn’t do it, then this is the class for you.”

In this class, every body is the right body: shape, gender, neurodivergence, or physical condition are never a limit. The practice adapts to who you are — not the other way around. Here, ropes don’t judge: they meet.

Open to all levels: whether you’re a complete beginner, a more experienced practitioner, or just curious, you will find your space. Each participant will work safely, within their own limits, with direct support from the teacher.

📍 Time & Place:

6:30 pm – 9:30 pm at Anatomie Studio

Station Passage, Unit 17, London, SE15 2JR

Rope for Every Body – Who leads the workshop

This class is led by Davide La Greca (MaestroBD), founder and teacher at Shibari Dojo, a leading Italian school for Shibari. With years of international teaching experience, MaestroBD brings to London a respectful, attentive, and relational approach to rope work.

Who it’s for

This class is designed for everyone, regardless of body shape, age, gender, orientation, ability, or experience.

Whether you’re plus-size, neurodivergent, living with a disability, or simply new to this world, you’ll find a welcoming, respectful, non-judgmental space to explore your relationship with your body and desire.

What we’ll do together

• ⁠  ⁠Learn rope techniques adaptable to every body, transforming rope into a tool for connection and care.
• ⁠  ⁠Discover how to modify knots and personalize the practice to suit your needs and sensitivities.
• ⁠  ⁠Talk about communication, active listening, and consent — to build authentic and mindful connections.
• ⁠  ⁠Address neurodivergence: with practical tools to make Shibari a positive experience for those who perceive the world differently.
• ⁠  ⁠Discuss safety, boundaries, and risk reduction.

Here, the body you live in is never an obstacle — it’s the starting point for real connection.

Why join?

Davide La Greca is one of the few European teachers certified in Yukimura Ryuu, the original style transmitted by Japanese master Yukimura Haruki.

Yukimura Ryuu isn’t about performance or restraint. It’s about the intimate connection between the person tying and the one being tied.

Its heart is Aibunawa — “sweet rope” — where tying becomes a gesture of care, listening, and subtle seduction.

In this workshop, rope is not just a technique to perform. It’s a language to co-create.

Knots are not the goal, but the means — a way to build real connection through touch, breath, and presence.

Learning from the Yukimura style means rediscovering slowness, silent communication, and intimacy as an art form.

Shibari isn’t cover-photo aesthetics. It’s contact, presence, dialogue.

This class celebrates the diversity of bodies and personal stories.
