learn from fundamentals to advanced - for tops and bottoms
ROPE CLASSES
Beginner class every Wednesday.
Our weekly beginner course by Marcos offer the basic principles of shibari in a friendly and down to earth environment come and take your first steps with us!
Each class we will practice a few skills and learn how to put these into play, so bring your curiosity and enthusiasm along. This is a self tie and switching based class, so feel free to come solo or with a partner
There are 4 different beginner classes to mix and learn the fundamentals. No special order needed.
(Rope) Bottoming beginners
We firmly believe that bottoming is more then passively throwing yourself in a situation and simply sustaining it. Instead, we see bottoming for rope as combining many different skills and tools: from breathing techniques to mental stamina, body awareness, communication and more. These teachable skills can make all the difference in your bottoming experience and so we decided to create a space dedicated to learning and practicing these
This is a switching and self tying based class, meaning we welcome solo as well as couples. In each class expect a discussion of the weekly topic followed by demo and teaching of related skills and tools, after which there will be time to practice and see how these tools can be used in play. Feel free to repeat the topics that interest you as often as you like, as the content will change based on participants experience and individual challenges.
This is a bi-monthly class on Tuesdays
Floorwork for beginners
This class, suitable for beginners who have some knowledge of basic knots and harness, and who want to develop ability for passionate and intense play without suspension.
In this class Marcos will teach and demo various shaped that have a strong sensation impact without needing any suspension lines.
This is a partnered class, please bring your own ropes if you have them - some communal ropes will also be available at the studio.
Self tying meditation
This immersive experience offers a unique blend of slow-evolving guided meditation and self-tying. Each participant will be gently guided through the process of self-tying, allowing for deep introspection and connection with oneself. As the meditation unfolds, participants will delve into a state of relaxation and mindfulness, supported by the rhythmic flow of tying.
Rope Toolbox by Tsubi
In this shibari series, Tsubi will teach the essential harnesses for the upper and lower body. These building blocks are essential for any rigger to have in their toolbox, often because of their versatility and frequent use in partial and full suspensions.
Each class will focus on a different element. We will learn to tie the harness, cover its specific safety considerations, and look at how to use it for floorplay or simple partial suspensions.
This class is suitable for beginners with prior knowledge of basic knots, frictions, and rope handling, and want to start playing with uplines and partials or expand their floorplay repertoire.
Price is per person. Join with a partner or come solo—some exercises in the classes will involve pairing up and switching with other participants.
This is a bi-monthly class on Thursdays

Sensual play date - Guided couples night By Ena
This immersive play night is especially aimed at couples looking to explore sensory play and add more sensuality and play to their (sex) lives. We will go on a journey through the senses, investigate the fine line, and perhaps overlap, between pleasure and pain.
Bored with the old Netflix and Chill and ready to elevate your date night to new heights and try something new? Let sensualist and kink educator Ena Dahl and her partner Kasia take you on a guided exploration of your sensory landscape, and each other!
We invite you to leave the dreary mid-winter grays of Berlin at the door and escape into an alternate universe to discover, tantalize, and titillate each other’s bodies and senses through a variety of playful techniques, toys, and tools.
The structure of this evening falls somewhere in between a workshop, a jam and a play party. After an introduction, you’ll be led through a couple of warm-up exercises, a short presentation of the various tools, a sizzling demo to inspire your play, and a guided session before we leave the room open for you to continue your exploration together with your partner. Prompts, tips and guidance will be available throughout.
Level: No experience necessary
Dress code: Light & sensual. Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and sexy, perhaps something that can be removed? Silk robes, kimonos, kaftans, lingerie, etc.
To bring: A towel and a personal blanket. Ropes if you want to tie as well.
Provided: Light snacks & drinks. We have all the toys and tools you need (although you can bring your own too if you want). All participants will receive a small bundle of playful tools to keep. We will also have special sensory tool boxes available for purchase.

YOGA
Pilates
Come and join me on the mat as we go through a series of Pilates exercises designed to build strength and flexibility. Through a mindful and precise movement flow, we’ll increase our body awareness while building a strong core.
While following the BASI Pilates method which offers a structured set of classic exercises, my Pilates classes won’t give you the stereotypical workout atmosphere you get in a fitness studio –instead we’ll be focusing on finding joy in movement through a calm and steady pace that gives space for individuality. My aim is for participants to leave the class feeling re-energised and grateful about their unique bodies. Less beach body motivation, more body positivity!
Throughout the class I’ll offer modifications to suit all levels and will adapt the exercises according to the need of the group as well as offering hands-on correction for those who are open to it.
This is a bi monthly class on Wednesdays at 17h
