Natasha NawaTaNeko (縄侘猫) and Arekusanda NawaRonin (縄浪人) are Kinbaku enthusiasts, researchers, teachers, and performers. They love, live and tie together for more than 6 years. On their journey exploring Kinbaku, especially the Seme-nawa style of Akira Naka and his master student Riccardo Wildties, became increasingly inspiring for them and part of their tying praxis and teaching. Arekusanda is the first official certified Kinbaku LuXuria instructor in Germany.
Mixing and blending in Russian Soul with German Scientific Mind, embodiment practices from Aikido to Sexological Bodywork and a lot of passion, Kinbaku, as an erotic practice, became a way to play out the polarity in their intimate relationship, to deepen it and evolve it to a different level.
With their “Elements” teaching method, they are dedicated to teach principles, not fixed, rigid forms and also include different somatic aspects as breathing, movement, posture, communication, and placement of attention.
Both Natasha and Arekusanda are particularly passionate about teaching consent in ropes, influenced by the Wheel of Consent and their study with Betty Martin, to help people to bring awareness and clarity into questions of intentions, boundaries and responsibility during rope play and enables honest communication about what we really want and eventually self-empowerment as a way to more happiness.
