I’m Anastasia. Over the last 10 years I’ve taught Shibari worldwide, trained 200+ students, and shared tutorials with millions.
From Netflix’s Perfect Match to festivals like Hedone and Acrotantra, I’ve loved bringing rope to people everywhere - and now, to you at home.
Most people who want to learn Shibari get stuck before they even begin.
The knots feel confusing, tutorials online don’t explain enough, and without a partner it feels out of reach.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
With this course, you’ll learn step by step from an experienced teacher, get personalized feedback on your practice, and discover how to build flow - even if you’re tying alone.
Fit the course into your life - just 30 minutes a day over one week.
Fast, effective, and flexible.
If 7 days doesn't fit you - no worries, you will have access the content forever.
Enjoy learning on your schedule, from anywhere.
You don't need a partner to do this course, but it is great to share those ties and train on each other.
Shibari Discovery is designed for both solo and partner practice.
Join a private chat with fellow students - ask questions, share insights, and grow together.
This isn’t a dry tutorial series. Submit your practice and get teacher notes so you’re never lost or unsure if you’re “doing it right.”
Shibari does not have to be a BDSM ritual or fetish. And of course it doesn’t have to be painful!
Like all art, Shibari is subjective.
To me, it is a meditative art that draws from the stillness of time. Shibari provides the opportunity for participants to celebrate their true selves, immerse into their senses, and connect with one another on a spiritual level.
Most of my students would describe it as “a state of mental and spiritual liberation accompanied by pulses of transcendent energy”.
Shibari evolves with how you give it meaning.
Learning from home through an online course gives you much-needed ease and security.
You’ll get to learn at your own pace and refer back to course materials anytime, which is why most beginners flock towards online courses to master the basics.
Easy-to-understand, step-by-step video tutorials, which means you get raw, experienced advice to quickly master the basics and start innovating.
Normally shibari classes range from $100 to $400 per hour.
Previously Voudou Ropes classes were available only in person…. But now you can get the value and content of at least 3 personal classes, be able to ask questions any time and go at your own pace.
No worries!
You can start practicing one any rope you have, and I will provide links and advice to ease your rope search!
A Shibari artist, educator, and performer, and the founder of Voudou Ropes, a brand devoted to making rope art accessible, expressive, and deeply connective.
With 10 years of experience exploring shibari across different cultures, including extensive time in Japan, I blend traditional Japanese techniques with a modern, artistic approach to rope.
My style focuses on creating moments of connections through rope, creating beauty while provoking emotion, sensual rope play, self-tying techniques, and adding movement and breath to rope.
I believe that shibari is not just about technique but about presence, emotion, self-love and creativity.
My workshops and online courses are designed to help students - from complete beginners to experienced riggers - gain confidence, develop their own style, and explore the transformative power of rope.
