NawaFoundations™
4 Week Beginners Rope Course by Kinoko Certified Shibari Instructor Julieta Chiara
Start Tying TodayIf you’ve been curious about Shibari and want a safe, beginner-friendly way to learn, you’re in the right place.
NawaFoundations is a 4-week, self-paced beginner’s course that teaches you the essentials of Shibari in a way that’s approachable, clear, and rooted in authentic Japanese training.Â
Â
It’s designed for complete beginners whether you’re tying yourself, tying a partner, or both.
No intimidation, no “you should already know this,” and no overly sexualized environment. Just rope, presence, and skill-building from the ground up.
In just 4 weeks, you’ll go from unsure to confidently tying beautiful, safe, and connective rope without the overwhelm.
You’ll Learn:
-
The Essentials: The history and safety know-how that give you the freedom to play without second-guessing yourself, plus beginner ties you’ll be able to use right away.
-
A True Japanese Approach:Â Learn from me, a Kinbaku instructor trained in Japan, so you not only get the technique but the small, beautiful details that bring rope to life.
-
Confidence in Practice:Â Go from fumbling with rope ends to moving with purpose, knowing exactly how to start, tighten, and finish a tie with ease.
-
Your Unique Style: Instead of copying someone else’s rope, discover the patterns, tension, and flow that feel most natural in your hands (and make it unmistakably yours).
-
Connection Through Rope:Â Experience how a single length of rope can slow time, quiet your thoughts, and create an intimate, playful space with yourself or a partner.

Hey, I'm Julieta! Â
As a professional Shibari instructor and lover of being tied myself, rope is my safe space, the love of my life.
Guiding folks in this journey is an honor, and finding my unique method is a gift to share with you,
The thing is, Simply tying someone in complicated designs is boring - rope is so much more than this!
It’s about making the rope in your hand your language, and creatively telling a story with your partner (or yourself) fluently.Â
My intention is to guide you in mastering technique, while encouraging play, exploration, and thoughtfulness in your flow.
