Shibari & Bondage Fundamentals

From the basics of Shibari to modern bondage techniques: here you learn step by step at your own pace. We focus on what drives you to learn tying. The focus here is on safety, knot techniques, rope handling and the connection between partners.

2

Advanced Techniques & Suspension

For experienced riggers and bunnies who want to deepen their skills: Here we explore new tying techniques such as floor work, partial and full suspension. The goal is to expand your portfolio, refine your technique, and add dynamics and intention to your play.

3

Shibari as Art & Expression

Shibari is more than technique – it is a language between bodies. Together we explore aesthetic visual language, flow and the energetic connection between rigger and bunny. Ideal for artistic photo shoots or performance appearances.

DCR - Creative Bondage with System

You want to implement your own ideas? Then DCR is exactly right for you. In this toolkit I developed, you gain a new understanding of rope bondage, so you can easily create new positions yourself and incorporate them into your play. More freedom, more fun!

2

Make shibari dirty again - the sexual side

Back to the roots. This is about the erotic side of bondage. Instead of complicated technique, the focus is on restraining or stimulating ties, effective knots, provocative positions and sensual touches; for you, your partners and toys.

Semenawa: Surrender through Pain

Your Coach: Dan Apus Monoceros

Shibari Artist and Bondage Coach

*I am Dan Apus Monoceros and have been tying for almost 25 years. I am fascinated by the connection of technique, aesthetics and human intimacy that Shibari embodies. In my teaching experience, I combine these with empathy and openness for you and your wishes.

“I often felt overwhelmed in Shibari workshops. In private coaching with Dan, I learned simple, practical ties – exactly what I actually wanted.”
“The coaching helped me rebuild a genuine connection with my partner. Dan’s approach is appreciative and respectful, but also humorous and relaxed. It was simply a wonderful time for us.”
“I was skeptical whether Shibari individual coaching offers more than a course. But Dan addressed our specific problems and needs so precisely that we made more progress in those 3 hours than in the last 3 months.”
“I have been tying for over 30 years and have my own style. Dan showed me ways to make familiar ties faster, safer or more playful.”

How Your Session Works

The process shown here is exemplary. Ultimately, we will always look situationally at the beginning of the session at how to best shape it in order to give you the best experience for what you need most in that moment.

1. Define Goals & Prior Knowledge

Wir besprechen deine Wünsche, Vorkenntnisse und Grenzen in einer offenen, vertraulichen Atmosphäre.We discuss your wishes, prior knowledge and limits in an open, confidential atmosphere.

2. Key Fundamentals

Depending on knowledge level and topic, we start with theory, anatomy or material knowledge, or we simply review the most important ties we'll need later.

3. Practice & Exercises

The focus of each session is on active doing. You get space and time to practice, experience and try things out, and you receive direct, constructive feedback.

4. Reflection & Follow-up

At the end of each lesson, we take time for questions, feedback and planning the next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own ropes?

No, for starters I provide all the necessary materials. During the course of the lessons I am happy to advise you on building your own rope collection. Some selected ropes can also be obtained directly from me.

Is Shibari also suitable for beginners without BDSM experience?

Absolutely! Shibari is an art form that can be practiced completely independently of BDSM. Many of my clients come with no prior experience at all and discover their joy of rope tying step by step.

How do the sessions work?

Each session is individually tailored to your needs, goals and experience level. We start with a brief conversation about your expectations and boundaries, then move into practical work.

Can I come alone or do I need a partner?

Both is possible. You can come alone to learn the basics of self-expression through rope, or bring a partner to explore the connection and dynamics of Shibari together.
