Stretching for Bondage15 minutes per day to a more flexible you.Many people look at the Japanese style box-tie and dismiss any possibility of achieving this beautiful combination of bondage and yoga asana. In my own class “Building the Perfect Hug” I have shown how the box-tie can be modified by folding the hands in front, or adapting rope handcuffs to fit folks with less flexible shoulders.
This worked but I felt there had to be a better answer.
Flash-forward to ShibariCon 2011. My sciatica was acting up after sitting for class so I moved off to the side to began running through a gravity yoga routine that I have been using to keep that injury under control.
While I stretched I overheard one person tell their partner, “Wow, that guy is flexible.”
I thought to myself, “I didn’t use to be…”, and then the fireworks went off. People could use this simple collection of poses to achieve their dream of being tied into that box-tie they admire so much.
Here was something I could bring to the table that would help people do better, longer lasting, safer bondage. And best yet you only have to devote 15 minutes a day, 5 days per week to meet your goals.
Not Just for Bondage BottomsIn addition to better bondage, there are benefits that will spill over into regular life as well.
Benefits such as:
• Increased Range of Motion
• Better Sleep
• Relief from Lower Back Pain
• Injury Prevention
• Increased Flexibility
• Better Sleep
• Better Circulation
• Better Posture
• Relief from Nervous Tension
Do you practice yoga? These stretches are designed to improve your practice by opening up your shoulders, hips, lower back, and legs.

Flexibility is your whole world my friend. These stretches will help you continue to enjoy your art form for years to come.
