Nëya
Prague-based rigger and model originally from Ostrava, who has tied since 2018 and teaches at Subspace and elsewhere in Europe.
Nëya is a Prague-based rigger and model originally from Ostrava who belongs to the teaching team of Subspace studio. Subspace says Nëya joined its teaching team in 2019, after the studio’s founding in 2018; Studio Ma gives 2018 as the teaching start. A 2023 Subspace listing uses the name Nëya Hive.
Path and style
A 2023 Subspace text says Nëya began tying in 2018 and attended nearly every workshop, lecture and study group during the first year. The text describes a focus on improvisation, technique and safety, including bamboo, and a friendly, playful approach. Studio Ma describes a range from precise traditional ties to minimal play, with an emphasis on authenticity.
Teaching
Nëya travels to teach workshops across Europe, often with rope partner Kameko, according to Studio Ma. In London, Studio Ma advertised a two-part strappado series with Nëya, beginning with an armbinder class covering technique, safety and adaptations. In 2025, Klubovna Ostrava announced a three-part public talk led by Nëya in Ostrava, covering the history of shibari, its basic ties and how to get started.
Performance
In January 2023 Subspace advertised Nëya and Azeret as the opening act at Shibari Night.
