Oakland, CA


Are you curious about tantra?
Do want to connect more deeply to yourself and those around you?
Would you like to learn how to create blissful states in your body just through breathing?

This introductory course will teach the basics of tantra and lay a strong foundation for more advanced work which will be offered later in the year.

We will explore classical tantra and learn several breathing techniques to create various states in the human body. We will also explore arts of connection, love and passion through individual and paired practices in safe, heart-centered interactions. 

 Explore energy-moving breathwork and imagery
Deepen contact with your inner lover
 Feel honored and loved just as you are
 Enjoy gentle, safe, and authentic exchanges with others
Open your heart to greater love

This course is open to people of all genders, orientations, beliefs and identities. Individuals and couples and groups welcome.

What to expect:
An opening circle where we check in with each other.
A mix of explanation, demonstrations and practice (similar to a yoga or meditation class).
A chance to work with others in the course in paired exercises (you can do all exercises with a specific partner if you choose or rotate in the group)
A closing circle where we integrate what we have learned and experienced.

This is a clothes on workshop with opportunities for consensual non-sexual touch and sharing of erotic energy, if desired. Everyone is always at choice in each moment and you can skip any exercises that don’t feel right for you.
