About this listen

 The Agura tie shows up again and again in shibari - but what makes it so enduring, and how can you work with it more intentionally? In this Rope Focus episode, Fox and Mya break the Agura tie down piece by piece: how it’s built, how it feels, and how small choices in structure, orientation, and intent can dramatically change the experience. They dive into: • What the Agura position actually is - including easier and more demanding variations (and what Fox affectionately calls the leg pretzel) • Different ways to construct the tie, and how those choices affect comfort and control • More sustainable versus less sustainable versions, and when each might make sense • How to increase the strength of the tie to reduce deformation and slippage • Mya’s perspective on what it feels like to be in Agura, and what she enjoys about it as a bottom • Practical tips for helping bottoms relax into the position, and bottoming skills that support the tie • How Agura feels in different orientations, on the floor and in suspension • The five distinct suspension orientations and what each one brings • The overall vibe of the position, physically and psychologically • How Fox enforces the position, and what that adds to the dynamic • Managing safety, risk, and responsibility in this classic tie Whether you’re meeting Agura for the first time or refining a tie you already love, this episode offers both technical insight and experiential depth.
