Semenawa Workshop with Yada

20 September, 1–7pm. Semenawa is more than technique. Yada will explore "throwing yourself into your destiny", a practice that balances choice and surrender, and use somatic exercises to deepen your connection with your own body and your partner's. From basics to suspension: whether you're new to shibari or have some experience, the class covers the fundamentals of floor work, builds toward suspension, and includes a few simple but powerful ties to combine with your preferred harness.
