Yanari Studio

Rope studio that opened in October 2025, with a programme co-organised and taught by the couple Ada and Tomek.

Yanari Studio presents itself as a place for shibari, kinbaku and Japanese rope art in central Warsaw. It opened with a party on October 4, 2025, and its program is co-organized and taught by a couple who appear publicly as Ada and Tomek. The studio has no website of its own; its schedule is published on Facebook and Instagram and repeated on event listing sites, with event texts in Polish and English.

Regular formats

The calendar mixes social and structured formats. Social Rope Jams on Tuesday evenings are open practice nights. Courses run in blocks, such as a Shibari Basics course that began on February 8, 2026, alongside one-off evenings for beginners. Rope Lab sessions are drop-in evenings without registration (30 PLN in early 2026, paid at reception) in which pairs learn a set element together and spend the last 30 to 45 minutes practicing it. Topics have included bamboo suspension, transitions between futomomo and takate kote, how to prepare and use a third rope in a TK, and tenshi transitions. The more advanced labs state prerequisites: riggers should be able to tie a suspendable two-rope TK and manage uplines, and bottoms should have suspension experience.

Art and guests

Shibari Life Drawing afternoons (30 PLN, drop-in) invite people with any amount of drawing experience to sketch models of varied body types in floor, partial or full suspension ties, with paper and pencils provided. The studio also hosts visiting teachers and performers; in September 2026 it announced guest events with Petr Soptík and Sansei of the Prague studio Subspace.
