Best Safety and Intro Course Around!
All Tied Up’s safety and intro class is by far the most comprehensive and relevant I’ve attended. As a bottom, I’ve experienced several different “getting started” classes with new riggers over the years, all of which gave the same basic info. Renee’s contribution to All Tied Up truly sets it apart. Her inclusion and even emphasis on bottom education is undoubtedly paving the way for a safer community for everyone.

What Our Students Are Saying
Interesting, informative, and fun
No pressure, put your mind at ease you are in good hands with Dan and Renee! Their class is extremely informative, not only about getting started in rope, but in the kink community as well. It is a must and sets a good foundation to build on.
Absolutely necessary for all
I’ve been in the community for 25yrs. And this class was great. Yes it’s must for all shibari people, but as a Dom this class is what I would consider a must for all tops, bottoms, Doms and subs. They open up the ideology and perspective of both top and bottom. They make you see how simple yet paramount the basics are. I seriously advise all of you who are new as well as experienced in kink to take this class. Dan and Renee are full of kink, intelligence and knowledge. 5stars!!
Definitely NOT a waste of time.
Very thorough instruction with a welcoming group of people
I attended the getting started class. The staff were professional, yet fun, and very kind. I felt safe and welcomed to the community. The information given was comprehensive, presented thoughtfully, and had an emphasis on safety and personal advocacy. I felt very comfortable throughout the sign up process, lecture based class, and brief hands on tying demonstration at the end. The atmosphere was great, the people were great, and I really don’t have anything negative to say. I have already decided to go to another event tomorrow! I would definitely recommend this group if you are interested in rope!

Since 2015
We started All Tied Up San Diego to provide opportunities for the rope community of San Diego to come together, practice, and share their love of rope.
Since then we have hosted more than 1,000 events and more than 4,000 unique individuals have participated in our in-person and online classes, learning how to create amazing experiences using rope.
We also support the San Diego Leather Realm at the San Diego Pride Festival as a sponsor to help bring an educational experience to those interested in learning more.
Experience
We bring years of experience, not just as shibari rope bondage instructors, as a teacher-of-teachers (Dan) and (Renee) as a psychotherapist, to each interaction.
Therefore, you will be taught hard skills and soft skills to improve your communication and interpersonal relationship skills.
Skills that will not only benefit you doing shibari, but that can transfer into any environment. Easily and quickly.
Your Safety Matters
As it is being taught in many cases, we also believe that shibari rope
bondage is dangerous and puts both partners at risk of physical,
emotional, and mental harm. Consequently, harm can last a lifetime.
Therefore, we spend time focusing on safety and risk mitigation. You get to learn from our mistakes and gain valuable knowledge on how to mitigate the risk.
You will learn to develop self-awareness and a better understanding of human behavior to identify issues better.
Learn observational skills that help you to assess a situation quickly.
These skills will help you learn how to communicate better, gain confidence, improve connection, and deepen intimacy.
Gain profound knowledge about yourself and your partner.
Grow Community
Our goal has always been to help increase the shibari rope community and provide
opportunities for people, like you - single or with a partner - to begin
learning about shibari rope bondage.
We offer a series of experience courses designed to help you gain confidence, increase communication, deepen intimacy, ensure consent and mitigate risks.
In the end, you will have the skills and confidence to go to any shibari rope event, anywhere, and have the understanding of how to engage other lovers of rope bondage so that you can have the experience you desire.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!
Sincerely,
SirKnottyDan & ReneeHayBailey
Owners & Lead Instructors
Wish I took this class much sooner!
I signed up for this class but I had to reschedule due to illness. They were very accommodating and moved me to the next class that would fit my schedule. The information I got out of the class was very helpful and I wish I took it years ago. Dan and Renee are very enthusiastic teachers and made the space feel very open and welcoming. I’m looking forward to coming back again and continuing my journey!
