Private tuition shibari: learn to tie privately
Develop your skills and receive lots of individual coaching and feedback
Would you like to further develop your bondage skills and really go in-depth? Come and book private tuition with Butterfly. During such a lesson we pay full attention to the specific interests or subject you choose, building on the knowledge that you already have.
Advantages of private lessons
You will be coached personally with every tie and move, so you’ll learn more effectively and usually faster than during a group workshop. This personal attention also ensures that Butterfly immediately identifies your personal interests and challenges, and we can zoom in on them. Not only does she teach you what and how to tie, but she also explains why. She wants you to understand the logic behind it, so that you can continue on your own - not by copying, but by truly understand how and why you make certain decisions while tying.

Attention for both partners
Lots of bondage classes mainly focus on the skills of the person tying (the ‘rigger’) and their technique. Butterfly prefers to provide input to both partners; also the person being tied 9the ‘bottom’). Because you both have to enjoy it and be challenged, and there’s always a lot to learn for people in both roles. For the rigger the focus might be more on rope handling and technique; for the bottom it’s important to develop more awareness of the body, limits, movement; for both it’s interesting to look at communication skills.
