Tantra is the art
of living consciously on all levels,
including sexually, and is derived
from the ancient Sanskrit language
meaning "expansion through
awareness" or "to weave." In this
practice, sexual energy entwines the
polarities of male and female into a
harmonious whole, ultimately
achieving balance within ourselves
and with others.
People are
empowered by integrating Tantra into
their lifestyles, changing the
quality of their sexuality and their
overall wellbeing. "Sexual energy is
one of our most powerful energies
for creating health," says
Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of
"Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom."
"By using sexual energy
consciously…we can tap into a true
source of youth and vitality."
Not only does
someone’s sexual life become greatly
enhanced, but their communication
becomes more natural & honest, they
begin accepting who they are and in
return their relationships become
more connected and their lives
enriched. The ancient practice of
Tantra shows us how to open our
hearts, our emotions and our
sexuality.
To achieve this
enlightened outlook participants
will learn the basic philosophies of
Tantra and how to apply them in all
aspects of their life. Participants
will experience a series of
exercises in breathing, yoga, and
tone vibrations, as well as the
engagement of special muscles and
the magic of massage. Concentration
on the energy centers of the body
will help clear blocks that
interfere with the movement of
energy and create a path to higher
states of consciousness and bliss.

create an environment of safety and
respect in my workshops. There is no

gazing. No previous yoga experience
