# Ryuan (Sr. Interior, 流庵殿)

![Ryuan (Sr. Interior, 流庵殿)](https://shibari-dojo.online/images/dojo/djo-02-en_lg.webp)

**Ryuan** is a shibari and kinbaku professional with more than two decades of experience and a track record that stands as a reference within the Western rope community.

 Over the course of his career he has learned from internationally renowned teachers such as **Mark Yu**, **Bruce Esinem**, **Osada Steve**, **Yukinaga Max**, **Hajime Kinoko**, **Isabelle Hanikamu**, **Kinbaku Luxuria** or **Barkas**.

 He studied shibari derived from the **Akechi** style in depth with **Osada Steve**, **Yukinaga Max** and **Hajime Kinoko**, and the **Naka** style in workshops with **Kinbaku Luxuria** and **Isabelle Hanikamu**.

 He complements this with training in neuroscience, pedagogy, psychology, sexology, anatomy, biomechanics, traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts and Japanese culture.

 In 2016 he redirected his training under the tutelage of **Yagami Ren**, and in 2018 he earned his instructor certification in the **Yagami Ryu**. In 2023 he reached the highest instructor grade (*black belt*) under the *ryu*'s new standards.

 Since then his work has continued to evolve within a style that integrates the psychological dimension and body mechanics with a refined handling of the rope.

 He has run his dojo in Gijón (Asturias) since 2005, offering private in-person and online classes throughout the year.

 He has lectured on erotic shibari in the master's program in sexology at **Camilo José Cela University** (Madrid), and he advises university students and professionals on master's theses, postgraduate studies and doctorates.

 His pedagogical approach is distinctive and disruptive, with a markedly “Western” perspective.

 His methodology focuses on putting the individual and their personal erotic experience at the center of shibari, prioritizing the depth and quality of the experience over aesthetics, achieving maximum efficiency combined with minimalism in the use of technique, and adapting to each person's particular and changing conditions.
