      Instructors:

      Feral / @rope_amine (she/they )

      Feral was a rope bottom for years before she decided to take ties into her own hands in 2023. She is inspired by rope as a means of self-expression, physical and mental transcendence, connection, and enjoys practicing shibari in nature. 


      Zach / @sal_ (he/him) 

      @sal__  joined the shibari community in Denver in April 2024 as a rope top, diving deep into online self learning and local classes. Captivated by the intricate and difficult nature of the art, he finds excitement in presenting and capturing the resilience and strength of his partners. He loves the connection created challenging his partners through shibari, turning a simple pile of rope into an intricate art, with a sadistic twist.
