This is not your usual rope bondage class. Midori will take one single katachi (a form or shape), a seemingly simple tie, and break it down into the minute subtleties of techniques which create depth, eroticism, arousal, connection, power and grace. It’s a focused lesson on whole-person movements with a disciplined structure.
Delve in to the pleasures of intimate erotic Japanese rope bondage which has gripped the imaginations of so many sensual connoisseurs. Bring the pleasures from Japan into your bedroom with this style of eros skills. Through the study of this one form, you’ll learn elegant, effective and sensual rope skills that apply to all other forms of rope play. Understand how to tie with smooth confidence and thrill your partner.
Midori will work closely with each pair and guide you towards a range of full skills development that include emotional depth, economy of motion, experience intuitive choreography as well as hand-skills.

Rope Shopping Suggestion:
- For exceptional hemp ropes, go to the good folks of Twisted Monk. Use this special discount code "MIDORI4Q18" & get $10 off orders of $75 or more. This expires 12/31/18.
- I love cotton rope as well. This is great stuff, especially if you're just starting out. Feels great, easy to tie with, great for sex play and very reasonably priced. Midori's Favorite Cotton Rope
