Shibari
Discovery
New to shibari? Let me show you the ropes! I'm Anastasia, and I've taught Shibari worldwide for over 10 years.

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.

That's right. Parallel to none, Shibari Discovery positions you to instantly start creating once you've completed the course.
That's because I believe everyone deserves to be an innovator and not just a doer.
And I know you're a busy person. You don't have time for 21-day-long courses.
That's why my course is designed for 30 minutes of study a day for 7 days. Plus, science has proven that we retain information better with short, bite-sized lessons.
Instead of belting through lectures that go on and on, take the extra time to practice on yourself or your partner, and begin every new lesson with a leg up.
Here's what you'll learn in this 7-day course:
The purpose, cultural significance, and present-day applications of Shibari.
How to tie 8 must-know knots to kickstart your journey in Shibari.
Correct finger techniques for tying with a flow that makes it feel like a dance.
Understand why we tie. Use the base knots to create your own designs and flows.
How to perform Shibari on your partner, rigging etiquette, and safety guides.
You'll also get exclusive access to a private chat, an inclusive space built for learning, sharing, and connecting with peers who are just as passionate as you are about Shibari.
Though there's no guarantee that you'll become a highly-acclaimed artist right away, here's what I can promise you: that you will be equipped with all the skills you need to rope with confidence, explore with your partner and invent patterns of your own.
Without a shadow of doubt, Shibari Discovery is the ultimate rigging course for beginners with no prior experience. Book your seat today to bring your passion to life and indulge in the sensual art of Shibari (and let your partner in on the fun too!).
start for free!What they say about the course
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
What if I don't have a partner?
Shibari is a meditative art that you can practice on your own. The mini-course is designed to be self-tying, but you can do it all with a partner too. It is made in such a way that you can take it alone and feel everything by yourself, and, if you wish, apply it to your partner, or immediately do it with your partner.

But they say it's BDSM and is painful+
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.
I am a slow learner+
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.
Is it worth it?+
Normally private shibari classes can range from $100 per hour and up. 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.
I don't have any ropes+
No worries! You can start practicing on any rope you have, and I will provide links and advice to ease your rope search!
Hi, I'm Anastasia
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.
