At Sanctuary we consider and collaborate with the whole of a student. This means that our offerings expand beyond yoga and include other invitations that round out your practice. Our Tantra workshops are a great introduction to practices that help you reconnect with your body and heal past traumas.

What is Tantra?

We understand that the world of tantra can seem confusing and intimidating at first glance. Tantra is often referenced as an exotic sexual experience, unusual sexual positions, or a form of erotic massage. This is NOT what we practice or teach here at Sanctuary Yoga & Healing. We do not offer sexual services or practices of any kind.

Tantra sessions are designed to bring your mind, body, and spirit back into connection. The teachings we offer are trauma-informed and are rooted in the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Sessions incorporate the 4 Pillars of Healing: Meditation, Movement, Connection, and Pleasure. Once we discuss your goals for tantra and what you’d like to get out of the experience, we’ll create a customized practice that connects to your intention.
