Free your body... then tie it up: Get knotty in London



Anatomie Studio offers a weekly selection of classes that will prepare your body and hands for something you may not have ever experienced before...rope bondage. Revel in this aesthetically pleasing Japanese art in a warm and welcoming environment.


Monday, July 18th -  Aerial Yoga: Choose from a 6:30 PM or 8 PM class. Total running time is one hour and 15 minutes. Classes cost £10, and attendees must email [email protected] to reserve a spot. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly and body positive environment for adults.


Tuesday, July 19th - Rope Jam: A laid back bi-weekly event for rope lovers and their bottoms (stray bottoms and bunnies are welcome too). Join the group from 7-11 PM every Tuesday for open rope practice time. Please note: there will be no instruction at this event, so come with a working knowledge of rope bondage!


Thursday, July 21st - Beginner Friendly Rope Jam: Does rope bondage sound cool but is totally new to you? Attend the beginner session tonight from 7:30-9 to learn the ropes (see what I did there?). After that you’ll get a chance to practice your cool new skills with cool new people.

Saturday, July 23rd - Rope Talk: So you attended your first Rope Jam and you’re feeling pretty serious about getting involved in this rope bondage business. Attend this month’s #RopeTalk on the neuroscience of rope, and you’ll be nerdy enough to attend a big kid’s Rope Jam without the beginner session. 


Saturday, July 23rd - The Big Jam Rope Social: Anatomie Studio hosts a monthly rope social from 3-11 PM. Pay ₤12 to get in before 7,  ₤7 to get in after. This is an all levels rope practice event, so even if you just attended your first Rope Jam this week, you’ll still be set to play.


Sunday, July 24th - Aerial Yoga: Feeling kind of achey and cramped up after all that rope bondage? Get yourself in a hammock and take a nap! Kidding, get yourself in a hammock and do some body positive aerial yoga. Stretching while suspended from the ceiling is a lot more fun than it may sound, promise.


Sunday, July 24th - Intro to Shibari: Aah! You’re just seeing these events now but totally wish you could’ve attended a Rope Jam. No fear, today rigger and self suspension artist Gestalta will be teaching a day long Japanese Rope Bondage class for absolute beginners. If you attend and need rope to practice on after the class is over, you can purchase rope at the studio for 10% off.
