Anoxia

Anoxia (they/them) is a Chicago-based rope educator and performer with over a decade of dedicated practice in primarily Japanese-style rope bondage. They've trained extensively with instructors across North America, Europe, and Japan, drawing on a range of traditions to shape their own teaching approach. As an educator, Anoxia teaches from both sides, covering suspension concepts and anatomy alongside the language of emotional skills and collaborative scene-making. In play, their rope tends toward intense, creative, and emotionally charged scenes, with strong currents of sadomasochism. Anoxia now works in rope full-time, touring to teach workshops, offering private instruction, and working at Shibari Study. They're also active in event organizing, helping run conferences and tours in Chicago and at venues across the US and Canada.
