If you are curious and fascinated by the intrinsic beauty of Shibari, then you are going to love this interview with my dear friends, Avalon & Jenna.
Shibari, also referred to as Japanese Rope Bondage, is a unique, intimate & sensual art form that originated in Japan. It was originally developed as a form of capture, torture or presentation of prisoners by the Samurai but it has developed over time into a seductive and sensual rope craft. Shibari is about the intimate connection with the rigger and receiver - which Avalon explains in our conversation.
Seduced by the sensual skill and artistic expression of Shibari, Avalon has developed his own distinctive style of tying and he gets to share this on stage, with his beautiful partner, Jenna. When you see these two performing, they take you on a magical journey and you witness the art of surrendering.
Shibari literally translates to “to tie” or “to bind,” and it involved trying intricate and beautiful knots and patterns used to restrain and give sensation to the body.
In this interview, Avalon & Jenna cover all the curiosity or misconceptions associated with Shibari. Avalon talks through the history, why people are drawn to this Japanese rope bondage and the importance of trust in your rigger and the power of surrendering to rope.
Avalon & Jenna are all about spreading their rope love within the community by holding events, workshops and one-one sessions. Jenna talks about her latest project that is about to be launched.
