Tantra • Re: Tantric Sex?

I have experienced sex with a tantric healer. It's not really a 'delayed' orgasm. Tantra is being present in the moment and loving fully. As sex goes, it can be explained as more of a full being orgasm that does not include male ejaculation. There is a definite orgasm...a build up, a release...but with a tantric practioner (male) there is a climax without the actual spilling of fluids. The most important part of tantra is unconditional loving -...

As a professional yoga teacher, you may be able to think of a long list of good reasons why you should not have to purchase yoga liability insurance. However, none of those reasons really matter when this simple fact exists: accidents happen.

Is spritiual belief required to be a yogi?

07-24-2013, 10:11 PM Is spritiual belief required to be a yogi? I consider myself an atheist. I was raised as a Christian, but over the past 10years I've rejected that for non-theism.

Of course, yoga's roots are spiritual, but as a non-theist I don't really care about spirituality. So can an atheist be a yogi, or do I need to adopt spiritual...
