with Braxas & Nëya
Everyone approaches rope in a different way, some like more playful rope, some enjoy exploring shame and others prefer tormenting rope. Whatever your approach, this workshop will explore different techniques that you can adapt to your individual intention.
How can we communicate that with our partners without talking? This workshop will give you the tools, and the know-how, to build your session from the ground up.
Who is it for?
Building a Session has been described as an analytical approach to emotional interaction and is ideal for those who would like to understand how to be more precise with their intention.
These skills are highly transferrable to all forms of BDSM, sex and physical human interaction, so even those who are not directly interested in rope can find a lot to take home.

Andrew Braxas
Andrew Braxas first fell in love with Kinbaku in 2016 when he attended the Kinbaku Dojo Berlin. Since then, his life has been a whirlwind of private tuition, workshops and rope events. He began his journey in Osada style and although he has evolved a lot since then, he owes a lot to the incredibly detailed and thorough education that he received.
As the owner of Belfast Kinbaku Dojo, Braxas has been teaching bondage on a weekly basis for a number of years and places a strong emphasis on technical understanding combined with emotional interaction.
To Braxas, Kinbaku isn’t about patterns or pretty shapes. Patterns are a tool, and pretty shapes are the by-product. Kinbaku is about taking your own internal emotional monologue and turning it into an external emotional dialogue. The journey is the goal. By taking elements from a number of different styles, combining it with his own techniques, Braxas is developing his own, unique, approach.
Nëya
Even though Nëya found herself firstly in the role of the rigger and she still ties in active role more often than the passive one, in the last couple of years she started focusing on the model role a lot as well. Nëya went through several not just technical but also emotional styles of tying and gathered a lot of insights about her way to experience rope from the other side.
The thing that matters to her the most, when it comes to rope bottoming, is authenticity. Nëyais trying to find that very aspect within all her sessions as well as teaching. Emotional and physical safety has many ways and rules and are the most important when models learn about rope but at the end it all comes back to the goal we have. Which could vary from aerial shows to emotional one rope sessions. All of this is valid if we are true to ourselves and our partners and Nëya’s goal as a teacher is to show this to her audience.
She has been teaching at Subspace studio in Prague since 2018 and she has also taught on both sides of rope throughout Europe.
