ANA RAQUEL PERES

First, who am I?

I'm Ana, I'm a model/rope model but I call myself rope bottom in shibari context. I've been doing shibari for over 4 years and I've tied with dozens of riggers, some of them international riggers. I'm mostly tied however I do tie myself on a regular basis - see my photography work about ropes here.
Occasionaly I tie others.
Nowadays I collaborate with a few riggers which mean I get tied almost every week or every other week.
But what means being a rope bottom? Means I'm tied by another person and by tied, means I can be suspended or not depends the rigger, mood, opportunity, etc...

After all this time and after so many people contacting me or telling me they had no idea how to start, where to start, etc. I decided to give private classes. Within my knowledge, I had prepared two different workshops.
These workshops may be single class or continuous classes depends of what you are looking for.

In case you are willing to take multiple/continuous classes, I will prepare a serie of classes accordingly to your skills and evaluation.
Nevertheless, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will gladly reply.
