My work with rope begins with listening to the breath, the body, and the quiet currents of sensation beneath the skin.
I offer rope work not as performance, but as a practice of intimacy, presence, and deep embodiment. Whether you’re here to learn technique, reconnect with your body, or explore conscious surrender, our work together is guided by trust and care.
My approach blends Japanese rope techniques with elements of somatics, yoga, and sound, inviting more than form or function. This is a ritual. This is an exploration of the nervous system.
My Style
Queer-informed, trauma-aware, body-reverent.
My spaces are held gently but firmly, with a focus on mutual respect, communication, and grounded exploration. I hold rope as both technique and energy, structure and flow. Some sessions are quiet and internal. Others are expressive and wild. Always, we move at the pace of trust.
Who I Work With
All bodies. All genders. All levels of experience.
I am especially passionate about working with queer, neurodivergent, and marginalized folks seeking alternative paths to embodiment, and empowerment. My work meets you where you are, curious, anxious, longing, brave.
About Me
My name is L-corde. I’m a practitioner offering care through Shibari, yoga, and sound. I hold an RYT 500 certification, am trained in pre- and postnatal yoga, and am a certified YACEP sound healing facilitator. I work at the intersection of somatics, rope, and ritual, always centering accessibility, embodied agency, and co-creation. My practice is shaped by years of study, personal experience, and a deep commitment to creating spaces where all bodies can explore movement, connection, and rest.
My Offerings
Private Shibari Sessions
These one-on-one sessions are co-created experiences that explore the possibilities of rope in a supportive, grounded container. Together, we shape the tone, from meditative stillness to playful resistance or deep emotional release. You may be tied, held, suspended, or simply witnessed. Each session begins with conversation and consent-building, and moves at a pace that honors your boundaries, sensations, and desires.
Rope Teaching & Mentorship
Whether you’re new to Shibari or refining your practice, these private or small-group sessions are designed to help you build confidence, communication, and technical fluency. I offer step-by-step instruction in foundational ties, body awareness, safe rope handling, and creative flow with an emphasis on learning to read bodies, not just rope. For both riggers and models, this is a space to grow skills in a consent-based, trauma-aware environment.
