Tantra & Sexuality
Many people mistakenly believe Tantra is “only about sex.”
While sacred sexuality is a part of Tantra,
it’s not the whole picture.
Tantra teaches that:
-
Sexual energy is sacred, creative, and healing
-
Pleasure can be medicine, not something to suppress or feel ashamed of
-
True ecstasy is not just physical orgasm, but a union of body, heart, and spirit
As Margot Anand writes:
“Tantra challenges the belief that we must suppress sexuality to awaken our spirit. Instead, it teaches us to transform our desires into pathways for spiritual liberation.”
In NeoTantra, practices like sacred touch, breathwork, energy movement, and conscious intimacy become powerful tools for personal and relational healing.
What Is NeoTantra?
In our modern world, most people are celebrated for using their brains and intelligence which is awesome but many people are disconnected
from the rest of their bodies and their pleasure.
NeoTantra is about getting out of your head and into your body more deeply so you can experience more pleasure through your whole body. It teaches that sexual energy is not separate from spirituality—it’s a powerful force for awakening!
You can learn to:

What Is Tantra?
Most Westerners who roll out their mat for a yoga class don’t always realize that the postures—what is actually called asana—are just one small part of a vast, ancient Hindu tradition. What you’re already practicing comes from Hatha Yoga, which is only one branch of the yoga tree. In India, yoga isn’t just about stretching or building strength; it’s about uniting body, mind, and spirit to awaken a deeper sense of connection. So when you’re holding downward dog or flowing through sun salutations, you’re actually participating in a sacred practice that was originally designed to prepare the body for meditation and spiritual growth. Tantra Yoga as it is called in India is one of those paths.
When most people in the West hear the word Tantra, they often think only of exotic sex practices—but Tantra Yoga is so much richer and deeper than that. Rooted in the Indian subcontinent, these ancient traditions were first recorded in sacred texts called Tantras around the sixth century, though their origins stretch back into prehistory. At its heart, Tantra is about weaving together body, mind, energy, and spirit—just like the Rig Vedas describe, as if life itself were being woven on a loom.
The word Tantra literally means “to stretch, extend, and expand through technique,” pointing us toward practices that help us grow and explore the edges of our being. Tantra is not one singular path—it flows through both Hinduism and Buddhism, in right-hand paths that focus on devotion and symbolism, and left-hand paths that embrace the raw beauty of life, including sexuality. But Tantra is never only about sex. It’s a whole universe of mantras, rituals, deities, energy practices, meditation, and sacred connection with the Divine. In honoring these traditions, we open ourselves to something far beyond the pop-culture image of “tantric sex”—we enter a timeless path of awakening. I'm not here to convert anyone, but I actually weave aspects of Tantra Yoga into aspects of my private sessions whether the person realizes it or not.
Classical Tantra
Classical Tantra is a deeply spiritual system that integrates:
-
Rituals and sacred ceremonies
-
Mantras (sacred sounds)
-
Mudras (hand gestures)
-
Yantras (sacred geometrical diagrams)
-
Kundalini yoga and breathwork
-
Meditation and deity worship
At its heart, it is about honoring the union of Shiva (pure consciousness) and Shakti (creative life force).
It’s important to know that not all classical Tantra involves sexual practices. Many paths focus solely on symbolic, energetic, and meditative practices. Yet even in these traditions, the body is seen as a sacred vessel for awakening.
Origins of Tantra
Tantra has its roots in the ancient cultures of the Indian subcontinent. Though its origins are prehistoric, it began to be formally recorded in scriptures called Tantras around the 6th century CE.
The term Tantra comes from Sanskrit:
-
Tan – to stretch, expand, shine, or weave
-
Tra – technique, method, or tool
So Tantra is “the art of expanding consciousness through specific techniques.”
Traditionally, Tantra is a wisdom stream distinct from orthodox Hinduism or Buddhism. It embraces both the sacred and the earthly, seeing everything—from breath to sexuality—as a portal to spiritual realization.
