Discover Kinbaku with us and explore Japanese-inspired rope bondage as an embodied craft. We are Alexander and Natasha, partners in life and in ropes, living this art both as a somatic practice and as a poetic form of connection. Together we have developed a radically different approach to bondage and sex-positive kink education — one that is emotionally intelligent, technically rigorous, and artistically inspired.

For us, it is essential to teach Kinbaku as a holistic system that creates a shared experience between two people. We address both sides of the ropes — rigger and bottom — equally, working with technique and non-technique, body and mind, theory and practice. Rather than focusing on rigid forms or prescribing how a model “should” look or behave in ropes, we encourage exploration. For riggers, mastering technique is important so that they can ultimately let go of it and create an emotional scene. For those in ropes, we offer gentle somatic inquiries to experiment with. Both partners — rigger and rope bottom — play an active role in shaping the scene; there is no “passive” partner.

Therefore, as a guiding principle of our teaching, we aim to address both partners in rope equally — offering complementary content for each.

• Riggers develop embodied skills for safe tying and learn strategies to cultivate presence and improve communication in ropes.

• Bottoms are empowered to trust their embodied wisdom, leading to more fulfilling and satisfying rope experiences.

• Couples gain tools and strategies for communication, session design, and consent, allowing them to deepen polarity, eros, and intimacy — both in and beyond the ropes.

Our work bridges tradition and innovation, discipline and playfulness, ritual and intimacy.

The fundamental questions are: What is your intention? Why do you want to do this? And why do you want this to be done to you?

Our teaching draws from our experience as professionals and executive managers in the corporate world as much as from our intensive studies in Rope Bondage with European and Japanese Masters and our somatic practices.

Alexander, a highly experienced rope bondage practitioner with a background in science and martial arts, offers a comprehensive range of bondage education for riggers at every stage of their journey.

Natasha, author of Somatics for Rope Bottoms, draws on her extensive experience in bodywork and consent education to respond to the needs and interests of the model. Her approach helps deepen their experience in ropes, making it more internal, conscious, and safe — and enriching the overall experience of being tied.

We offer different ways of working with our students and coachees. Our preferred format is one-on-one sessions with individuals or couples in a private setting, where we can tailor both content and methods to your specific needs. In private lessons, we respond directly to your wishes and provide the precise input you need to take your experience to the next level.

At the same time, as experienced and recognized Kinbaku educators, we also offer a diverse portfolio of workshops and group formats, which communities and venues can invite us to present internationally.
