Natasha NawaTaNeko is a Russian-born, Berlin-based experienced rope bottom, performer and educator. In Kinbaku she searches for true emotions and authenticity and sees rope bondage as a deeply intimate and erotic practice that also has a profound potential for personal transformation.

Drawing on her background in Sexological Bodywork, more than a decade of rope bottoming experience, and studies in bodywork and movement, Natasha brings various somatic aspects such as breathing, sound, posture, non-verbal communication and placement of attention into her teaching.

In 2020, Natasha published a book about rope bottoming and its potential for personal, intimate self-exploration: “Somatics for Rope Bottoms”. The book consists of 12 essays – somatic inquiries – that inspire readers to seek the answers within their own bodies and reclaim their agency over the most important decisions that arise when we choose to explore kink.
