Ana Sweet from the Basque country Rigger for several years, a style close to naka with a lot of dynamism and modernity. She has a semenawa game, the art of torment.


Alléria model for several years. A lot of energy to spend and share on the ropes.



  • Arnaud AT & Rose

Arnaud started kinbaku in 2009. He began by following the Osada school until 2012.

Then, he spent several years exploring other schools (Naka, Yagami, etc.) before returning in 2019 to the Osada school.

Helped by several self-affirmation courses, a reflection on the reception of emotions and its implications in shibari (physical, emotional and psychological) sprouts within him.


Rose begins shibari as a model with Arnaud in 2021. Her taste for research leads her to explore with him both pure technique and emotional connection.

We give courses as a rigger and model at the association Hebi Kinbaku.



Amachouille and Galaad began practicing shibari together in 2019. After training in the “Art de Cordes Sud” association in Montpellier, they began their exploration of other attachment methods to personalize and adapt their ropes, while maintaining the rigor and technicality of their first apprenticeship.



Ginko, he/they pronouns, has always considered herself a feminist and advocates in this direction.

He participated in the creation of the “tkt crew” association which carries out particularly feminist actions in the festive environment.

At a very young age, he discovered the world of bdsm and then shibari, and encountered a frequent clash between this world and that of feminism.

Morphée is a multifaceted rigger, his encounter with ropes dates back to 2010. What drives him in this discipline is the exploration of constraint. He likes to take his partner on a journey by being a guide who is both present and enveloping, sadistic and attentive to his partner.


Kettu meets the world of shibari and Morphée in 2020. First a model, her curiosity leads her to switch from time to time. On one side or the other, she wishes to explore the body and the human being in its entirety.

Raph, 30 years old, has been focusing on kinbaku for 3 years in a global approach to exploring the body and its capabilities with yoga, meditation and contemporary dance.


Niko, 43 years old, is a jack-of-all-trades artist who, for the past 4 years, has mainly focused on playing strings. Porous, he likes to get out of his comfort zone by exploring various styles and materials.


Raph and Niko have been a partner for 3 years and teach in Lyon.



Niko starts shibari in 2020, the emotional bonds woven in the ropes quickly fascinate him while the classic harness assembly quickly bores him. Each session is new, which is why it evolves more into freestyle to leave room for the creativity of a moment.



Tess discovered shibari accidentally on YouTube about 7 years ago without being able to put a name to this discipline. She started practicing 3 years ago, as a rigger and model and started self-suspension during confinement.
