✨ **Ipponnawa with huahua** ✨

Join us every **last Monday of the month** at the beautiful tatami room in **Studio Yukari** for a unique Sh***ri experience. This monthly class often sells out, so don’t miss your chance!

🪢 What is Ipponnawa?

Ipponnawa means one rope. Beyond the literal meaning, Ipponnawa is a unique concept in Sh***ri that has come to represent a method of tying where there is greater attention to communication and the interaction rather than the complicated patterns or positions. Unlike other styles, where we can rely on adding ropes to create a response, with one rope there is nothing to distract from the tension between us.

🪢 What you will learn?

With a single rope there is endless potential. In this monthly-recurring class we will be exploring all of the possibilities that can be created when we are intentional about the application of each individual rope. Each month we will explore different aspects such as: rope handling, observing the model’s natural reactions, maintaining headspace, body handling and quality of touch drawing inspiration from her studies in Yukimura Ryu. In each class there will be a range of exercises that focus much more on the soft skills of Sh***ri. Practicing Ipponnawa can also help students to improvise when tying as there are no set patterns taught in this class.
