Embodiment Rope Space

Embodiment Rope Space We are the first Shibari studio in South Africa '21
Community | Craft | Intention | Humility | Rope This is a queer space. Pleasure is political. No shoes.

The Ethos of Embodiment Rope Space:

This is a sex-positive, kink-positive, pleasure-centric space. Friends of LGBTQIA+ people are welcome. We believe that rope is for every body. We challenge our pre-conceptions in this space. Community is essential for safety. We learn more when we learn together. Open hearts and open minds are welcome here. Treat others as you wish to be treated. We share this space out of joy and the pursuit of pleasure. Consent can be revoked at any time. We practice RACK. We share information and experiences about safety freely. We take responsibility for our mistakes.

​

Non-negotiable Rules:

Respect the space. Leave no trace - whatever you bring, take it back with you. Ego has no place here. Learn and share with humility. Until the end of the pandemic, masks will be worn in the space. For longer workshops, you will be provided with an N95 mask. Keep underwear on at public events. Nipples may be free. Do not make unsolicited comments about anyone else's body. Do not take any photos of anyone in attendance without consent. Do not reveal the identity of anyone you meet in the space once you leave. Many people prefer anonymity. Be discrete when moving through other parts of the premises - the coffee shop staff downstairs did not consent to witnessing your kinks.

​

About the space:

The space is in an industrial building in Salt River with secure parking and 24/7 security. The space is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible: it is up two flight of stairs. We are able to bring our offerings to you if you are unable to access the space. The space is set up for rope, with floor-to-floor mats and hard points for suspension. There is a small store room available to store your personal belongings.

If you’ve been having fun in jams but are wanting to start building a solid foundation in rope, this is where it begins.

Beginner’s Intensive
Sh***ri Fundamentals
7 March | 09:45–16:00

We’ll cover core tying skills including single column ties, double columns, inline cuffs, wraps and frictions, and the yuki knot, alongside safety, consent, body handling and moving with breath.

This is a full day dedicated to understanding the why behind the how. Not just shapes, but skill, awareness and intention.

No prior experience needed.
Singles and pairs welcome.
Partner required for the final part of the day, but you can pair up in class if coming solo.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Bring your own rope if you have it, otherwise class rope is available.

This class is a prerequisite for our intermediate offerings and non beginner rope jams.

Spaces are limited.

An invitation inward.

Self-tying can be a quiet act of devotion to your own body, your breath, your edges and your emotional landscape. In this jam, rope becomes a companion rather than a performance, a way to listen, contain, soften and arrive more fully in yourself.

Whether you are experienced in self-tie or simply curious to explore, you are welcome to move at your own pace. Witnessing is just as valid as tying.

This is a calm, grounding space for introspection, embodiment and gentle self-connection.

28 Feb | 18:30–22:00

We begin with a 45 minute performance, pause, then move into a guided workshop and communal bum drumming circle inspired by continental drum practices and sensuality work rooted on the continent.

Impact meets music.
Breath meets rhythm.
Play meets consent.

This is a partnered experience. Bring a spanking partner or arrive open to pairing. You choose your level of participation at all times. You can drum, hum, tap, witness, or step out whenever you need.

Consent is the heartbeat of the night. Everything unfolds slowly, clearly and with humour.

Tying to a pillar can be uniquely fun and mischievous. It creates an instant conversation between rope, body, and an unmoving presence, where stability and resistance allow the rope to hold with clarity and intention. The structure supports the tie, freeing the hands to slow down, explore touch, and play with pacing and connection. For the person being tied, it can feel grounding, containing, and deeply surrendering. For the one tying, it allows creativity, responsiveness, and a relaxed confidence that keeps the focus on breath, communication, and shared experience.

Join us for a Pillar Rope Jam on 5 Feb 2026 - 18:45–21:00, for an evening of playful exploration and connection around the pillar.

This jam has limited tickets due to the need for a pillar. Only 6 spots available.

Yukimura-style Sh***ri is not about how it looks.
It’s about how it feels.

This February, HenRigger and Rose return from Copenhagen to offer a rare, in-person workshop exploring the deeply emotional and minimalist rope practice of Yukimura-style Sh***ri.

This is a slow, floor-based approach where simple rope placements create vulnerability, trust, and presence. The focus is on connection, breath, and the internal experience of the person being tied, rather than complex patterns or visual display.

A full day of learning, feeling, and shared exploration, guided by educators with deep experience and a grounded, non-dogmatic approach to rope.
