“To tie is to embrace.” – Arisue Go
Rope play is a form of sensual bondage. It is an art of connection and seduction, surrender and control, with both ancient roots and modern techniques. Rope play has the capacity to empower and inspire both the giver and the receiver. For the one bound in rope it can at times be paradoxically a very relaxing experience, not unlike swaddling a small baby. At other times being bound, tied, and released can flood the body with endorphins and adrenaline creating highly charged, ecstatic states. For the one doing the tying, rope becomes an extension of his or her hands. It is possible to create almost an infinite number of sensations with rope, from slow and sensual, to rough and biting. By cultivating energetic flow states, a deep sense of connection can develop between rope play partners.
Through a combination of tantric practices, sacred sxxuality, and consent- and trauma-informed coaching, this shibari and energetic journey will guide you into an altered state of consciousness that allows for your deepest transformation in confidence, self-acceptance, and sensual expression.
Rina will teach a simple, but deceptively powerful style of rope play that require no knowledge of complicated knots. She’ll guide you through the basics of rope safety. She and Monique will offer simple techniques for using rope to cultivate energy and power exchange between consenting adults. Our focus is on using rope as a tool for helping partners develop emotional connection, intimacy, and trust.
Bring your own rope and kinky toys is you like, we will also some there for you to try out if you don’t bring your own.
This class is open for beginners to expert levels. It is also open to all genders, women, men, non-binary, and couples of all sxxual orientations.

“We all have certain ideas of what rope bondage and shibari are about and we may, consciously or otherwise, have certain expectations. Instead of leaving you to your guesses and assumptions, I will try to clarify what a shibari journey with me really is. My agenda is to offer a SACRED JOURNEY INTO VULNERABILITY. My journeys are a dance of technical skills and intuitive flow. Intuitive flow leads the way, while technical skills are ever-present for safe, practical applications.”
Rina is Austin’s premier shibari instructor. A former professional dominatrix with twelve years’ experience working with elite New York City clients, Rina has now redirected her conscious kink career toward providing vulnerability journeys through rope.
Tying together eleven years of tantric bodywork and meditation practices in Asia, Rina studies and performs shibari with the most celebrated masters in Japan and across the United States.
A University of Maryland MBA graduate, certified death doula, and NLP and trauma-informed hypnotherapy practitioner, Rina combines her breadth of knowledge across somatic, spiritual, and sexual disciplines toward an utterly unique shibari modality that invites clients to access their deepest self-discovery and spiritual illumination.
