It is there, deep inside
My dear Shibari enthusiast.
If you read this, I guess you are like me.
You are thriving on exploration.
You want to discover.
You want to know.
Your body, your sensations, your thoughts, your emotions, your mind…
With others, with your peers.
And indirectly, with yourself, your true nature, your true being.
I know what it feels like.
How long have you been searching?
For me, it took years.
Years of not knowing where, and how to look for it.
Years of trying different things.
Years of getting closer, but not quite there.
And then I discovered this.
What is "this"?
S-H-I-B-A-R-I
I discovered it 7 years ago, at university.
And I knew.
I knew "this" would be my way to myself.
My true tool for connection and discovery.
But unfortunately…
Even then, it was not enough
I spent these last 8 years trying to master Shibari.
Because it's a tool.
And like any tool, it is not worth much if you can't use it.
And trust me, it is hard.
Shibari was a weird and unknown japanese thing at the time.
No teachers.
No classes (or far away and expensive).
No courses.
Just old books, barely translated.
I started a long journey
Since then I dedicated much of my time exploring the practice.
After I started Shibari, it took me 4 years to reach this deep level of confidence and connection.
Then I started teaching it.
And some of my best students only start to feel it as well.
I dedicated myself to making it available to the world.
And by the same token, allowing thousands of people to find a real path to their self, and to deeper relationships.
I spent these years bringing our community together.
It was a lot of work.
But not for long anymore…
My students' experience
"It was one of the only times I have done this before and she made me feel so safe and sensual, so connected to my body. One of the best, deeply nourishing experiences that I had in a long time. Thank you Anastasia."
Chelsea
I really enjoyed following the course. Step by step clear explanations are exactly what I needed! It's been a true inspiration and makes me confident to follow along by try out my own design. thank you so much for what you are doing!
Katharina
Podcast Creator
Finally not just tutorials, but well structured very detailed tutorials! I was able to tie all the knots right away because of the great explanation! I am looking forward to working with Anastasia privately.
Anna
Pole Dancer
I adore your channel and practice a lot from there. I was a little worried that the course would be too easy, but it was the right thing to do. Now I understand why you use certain knots in different situations and can play around with my partner confidently!
Peter
Developer
I knew nothing about shibari before I started this course, but my girlfriend was very interested. I got it to surprise her and it worked perfectly. After already 3 lessons we practiced together and explored the ropes!
Andy
Writer
Shibari Discovery gave me a glimpse into many different ways to use rope. Now I can recommend shibari practice to my own clients and be able to answer and elaborate on a lot of questions from personal experience.
Nick
Relationship Coach
This course helped me to structure my knowledge and understand how to tie on my own. Now I use shibari in my daily routine as a meditation!

The ultimate way
(finally here for a short time)
Two years ago, I finally launched my online program to master Shibari.
Together with my students, we were able to lower the threshold of confidence the practice.
From a few years, to a few months!
In just 90 days, you can start from 0 and reach inner-peace and connection.
With lessons, and online coaching.
I am pretty proud about this.
But, it was not enough.
We needed to do better.
Yes, much better.
So I started working on the ONE thing I wish I had 7 years ago.
The ONE thing that would have saved me years.
The ONE thing that will help a few privileged people save years and transform themselves… this October.
And if you want it…
YOU can be one of them…
the shibari getaway.
Bound rituals.
The 4-day intensive experience to learn Sensual aspects of Shibari, train suspension, dive deep into yourself, and make great connections.
- Brought to you by Voudou Ropes and KnotPosh
Intermediate Level (it is for you if you did some shibari before and want to grow, but it will be very challenging if you are completely new)
What is it?
(video is for one of the previous retreats, but we keep the same place and idea)
Shibari Getaway is like a retreat, but not any retreat.
It is the one and only retreat in the world combining Shibari, self-exploration practices and local ancestral traditions.
It is a full-on life-transforming experience.
It is an incomparable opportunity to…
- Learn the great art of Shibari, insanely faster than any other possible way
- Master a powerful tool that will serve you for your entire life
- Dive deep into yourself, and reach a whole new level of self-awareness and inner-peace in your life
- Offer yourself a well-deserved break, and fully recharge your physical, mental and emotional batteries (to start next year as a different person)
- Connect with ancestral traditions, in a very privileged setting
- Make new meaningful connections with other self-aware and like-minded people, just like you
- Get access, with an exclusive group, to me and other experts in a peaceful and secluded environment for a whole week (with us the whole time giving lessons and advice to anyone who needs it)
We will warmly welcome you in Akumal, Mexico, from 8 to 12 of April 2026!

Anastasia Suazo
(Shibari)
Shibari teacher, photographer, Breathwork Instructor and ... influencer
Anastasia has almost 8 years of Shibari experience, and 3 years helping people learn the art of rope from zero. She has real-life and online students all over the world, and is happy to help everyone find their own style.
She has spread Shibari around the internet, with more than 40k followers and millions of views.
For Anastasia Shibari is an art of wordless communication. The art of stopping time and enjoying the moment. The art of empowering your partner by bounding them.
What she promotes the most in her classes: Shibari is the art of caring and giving. Students learn not just knots. They learn how to use rope consciously for different purposes.

This is once in a lifetime
This is the first time this retreat happens
Will I do it again? I actually don't know.
Maybe next year, but maybe not.
And if I do, who knows if it will be in the same environment.
Who knows if it would even be in Mexico.
If there is going to be another retreat, I don't know when, where, and with who it would be.
But there's one thing I know.
THIS retreat will never happen again.
And it's the only one in the world that combines Shibari, self-exploration practices and local South American ceremonies.
But it can accept 6 participants only.
Will it be you?
I wish.
And you have until August 15 to get the best price.
I will see you there.
A matter of allocation
You know what…
Between you and me, you will use the money anyways.
No, for real.
How much do you spend per year? (I mean, it's not my business. But make the calculation quickly.)
How much did you spend in 2023 so far?
How much do you think you'll spend in 2024?
Now, out of all of this, how much do you allocate to your own self?
How much do you invest in your wellness, your development, real things that will benefit you for a long time?
And if you compare this one investment with the rest, what will it be worth throughout next year?
What is it going to be worth for the years to come?
So how long do you want it to take?
Years?
Months?
Weeks?
It is just a matter of time, and experience.
You decide what you allocate your investments and time to…
The law behind all things
Do you know Pareto's law?
It's a law of distribution for all things in the universe.
It states this: 80% of the outcomes always come from 20% of the input.
It is the same for you.
And if we think in time: 20% of your time brings 80% of your growth, happiness, enjoyment, memories, etc.
Will you make this one week part of it?
Honestly, when you will look back, what will future-you think?
Will you be grateful for having allowed yourself to grow?
Or will you regret, not having taken this unique opportunity?
At the end of the day, it is your decision.
Sincerely, I really wish the best for you.
And I wish to share this extraordinary week with you.
But my responsibility is to put all of it up.
It is yours to join us or not.
And if you still read this (and as long as we still have free spots), you are more than welcome. :)

What if I pay the deposit can't come?+
The deposit can not be refunded if you decide not to come. However, if the retreat is for some reason canceled, we will, of course, fully refund it.
It's expensive.+
If you were to learn everything by yourself or get all the benefits of the retreat through another way, it would cost you at least $6,000. Today, I actually make you a great offer. Also, remember that this experience is the only one in the world that combines Shibari, with all the self-exploration tools and ancestral practices proposed. And it will only be available once, for 10 people.
Do I have to pay for the trip?+
Yes, but we can help organise the transfer from the airport to the retreat if needed. Transportation is not included in the package, so everyone is free to join us in any way he or she wants. Akumal is located between the cities of Playa del Carmen and Tulum. You can come from there with the Collectivo bus for less than $10. If you come from abroad, the closest airport is located in Cancun. The easiest way to come from there is with an hour-long taxi drive.
Can I pay in several payments?+
Yes (but all payments will be done through either bank transfer or PayPal).
