What if do not (yet) want to go into rope suspension? Does that make me a softy? And are there any good alternatives to rope suspension? These are all questions, that come up during suspension workshops and they are very, very relevant. First this: there are no such things as Shibari Olympics and there are […]

Reality perception is the fourth main level, you are working with. And equally important. In fact, the most important one from one point of view. Human beings are creatures of habit.
