Lexienawa: partials + semenawa

This workshop explores partial suspensions as a way to create tension, vulnerability, and intensity without fully lifting the partner from the floor.

The focus will be on how to use body position, gravity, rope tension, and controlled imbalance to build a semenawa experience. Participants will explore how a position can be developed over time, becoming more demanding, restrictive, and emotionally intense.

Lexienawa discovered shibari at the end of 2022 and quickly fell deeply in love with ropes. Since 2023, she has been studying primarily with teachers focused on Naka-style tying, attending workshops and private classes with Docval, Lille Shibari Club, Hourai Kasumi, Riccardo Wildties, Andrea Kurogami, and Peter Soptik.

Her approach is pragmatic and play-oriented. She is interested not only in harness structures and suspension techniques, but also in how ropes can create spicy positions, build anticipation, intensify sensations, and turn a session into something hotter, smoother, and more engaging.
