Anastasia, the shibari teacher

Anastasia Voudou
(Shibari)

Shibari teacher 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.

I had an amazing experience that was beyond anything I could have anticipated. The attention to detail and care from the facilitators was heartwarming. The workshops expanded beyond technical sequences into what makes Shibari so special—connection, peace, and safety.

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!

FAQ

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 lean 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.We will welcome everyone at the resort from 3pm on Sunday, December 4th

Can I pay in several payments?

Yes (but all payments will be done through either bank transfer or PayPal).

Even then, it was not enough

It wasn’t an easy path. It took me six years of practice to reach a level of confidence and connection that felt truly profound. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to teaching and sharing this transformative art.

Through years of effort, I’ve made Shibari accessible to thousands:

I spent these years bringing our community together.

  • 60k
    people on Instagram.
  • 40k
    on Youtube (and 3 millions views).
  • Hundreds
    through my online programs.
  • Hundreds
    through my classes across 16 countries.

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

The ultimate way  
(finally here for a short time)

But I wanted to do more.
I wanted to make this journey more enjoyable and straightforward for others.

2 years ago, I created an accelerated program that allows my students to achieve confidence and connection with Shibari in just 90 days.

But that wasn’t enough…

So, I designed something even more special—the ONE thing I wish I had when I started. A program that combines immersive teaching, personalized guidance, and an inspiring community.

And here we are.

This experience is designed to guide, nurture, and empower you to experience this same transformation—faster and with greater ease.
