Places
Mexico City shibari educator, rigger, performer and multidisciplinary artist who leads the independent Arte Shibari teaching project and its La Habitación Azul dojo in Colonia del Valle. His official profile dates his disciplined rope practice to 2016 and names Jonathan Ryan / Seattle Shibari and Ryuan among the teachers with whom he refined technique. A public 2025 diploma records his completion of the Yagami Ryu First Level online course taught through Sr. Interior / Escuela de Shibari. A 2021 Calmecac Kinbaku audio series credits him as narrator and translator for that earlier Mexico-based school project. His current teaching combines anatomy, risk management, somatic movement, ritual practice and structured pair-based learning, alongside SHIBARI LAB, personalized sessions, documentary media and performance work.
