Body Temple Classes and Workshops You can choose from a menu of the most potent processes and techniques from 20 years of practice, study, and teaching. These gems are shared from the heart with a compassionate, relaxed and playful approach.


Introduction to Meditation
This is a very straight forward approach to meditation that is powerful and easy to learn. We share the basic techniques, practice together, and discuss how to integrate these into your daily life experience.

Introduction to Tantra
This is an authentic and down to Earth presentation of a vast and deep spiritual tradition. We combine in depth discussion with techniques and processes that generate an immediate experience of energetic and spiritual expansion. We share the basic techniques and practices together, and discuss how to integrate these into your daily life experience.

Tandava, the Dance of Shiva
This yoga expands from the static Meditation form to allow gentle micro movements of the body. This extended meditation begins sitting, then gradually unfolds into standing meditation - a slow graceful energy dance that is gently guided from the stillness within. This is a powerful practice for "getting out of the way", and letting life flow through you naturally. We let the ego step aside and allow the larger presence that holds us all to guide us in receiving what we need from within. Tandava is an embrace of space and the spanda, or sacred tremor that arises within it. This Dance of Shiva strengthens your ability to hold space, embody stillness, and witness life without judgment or personal attachment to results.

The Yoga of Breath and Rejuvenation
This session includes an easy way to learn rejuvenating full breathing, postural alignment, and how to use these with basic yoga postures (e.g. the Sun Salutation). This is great yoga introduction, suitable for beginners. For those desiring more advanced work, other sets of yoga exercises called "the Fountain of Youth", and "Rishi Isometrics" are optional.

The Yoga of Energy and Healing
This session presents a simple set of Chi Kung exercises as a powerful way to generate more life force (chi) in the body, and immediately use it for hands on self-healing. You also learn simple grounding techniques, good body mechanics, and how to connect with the life force of the planet.

Yoga Nidra
This is a powerful method for deeply relaxing the body, stilling the mind, and manifesting a desired result in your life. We share this unique technique to facilitate deep relaxation, and to assist in manifesting a desired result in your life.

Tantric Fire Breath
This is a special exercise for generating ecstatic energy in the chakras. This process is fun, pleasurable, and mind expanding. It can also be used to empower your intentions and group prayers.

Kundalini Massage
This is a special protocol that creates a direct experience of the wave of kundalini (life force) energy flowing in your spine. If you have not consciously felt this before, this can be a profound initiation.

Nada Yoga
The yoga of sound is a powerful way to open and activate the chakras for more aliveness and consciousness of these vital centers. We will share specific mantras for each chakra, and experience individual and group healing through structured and intuitively guided toning.

Breathing Sacred Union
This session is a Tantric Shamanic Breathwork Ceremony. We will create a safe sacred space in which to explore using breath, sound, and movement to generate high states of energy in the body and launch a journey into Self. The invitation here is to let go of "the grip" (on life, yourself, your body, emotions) to allow more space for sacred union and sanctuary within. In this process you can move through blocks to your aliveness, creativity, and abundance to emerge with more clarity, peace, stillness, and more space to embody sacred union with the inner Beloved, with God/Source. Enlightenment through lightening up.

Embracing the Sacred Gate
This session presents the basic theory and practice of balancing and clearing the throat chakra through toning, mantras, and applied self-massage. We discuss the relationship between the throat center, speaking your truth, empowering your life purpose, and enjoying full sexual expression.

Magdalene Unveiled - the Reality of Sacred Union
This seminar combines a provocative discussion of the tantric relationship between Mary Magdalene and Yeshua Ben Joseph (Jesus), alchemical practices that facilitate sacred union, and processes that facilitate an embodied experience of this state of being.
