Why is yoga such an important facet of tantra and especially tantric sex? In the first place, yoga introduces balance in the practitioner’s body, mind and spirit. Physical, mental and spiritual equilibrium must be pursued and cultivated through tantra yoga and meditation, or else the pursuit of the tantric arts becomes a pointless exercise.
With the establishment of a balanced status quo via tantric yoga techniques, the student of tantra will perceive a new sense of moderation at the sexual level, as well. It is an unfortunate fact that most people today turn to tantra in a hope of discovering new levels of sexual excesses. The fact is that tantric sex is not about increasing quantity but rather quality of lovemaking. Tantra yoga moderates and focuses sexual desire and capabilities so that this quality is achievable.
Those who have sex only occasionally are probably not in as dire a need of tantric yoga as those who are very active. Frequent sex is, in itself, certainly not harmful as long as it takes place in a space of love and caring, not in one of compulsion. However, it is a fact that frequent orgasm amounts to an expenditure of prana Shakti. This essential energy replenishes itself, but the replenishment process becomes hampered if the ‘expense’ is consistently more than the ‘income’. This, in turn, can lead to cumulative loss of spiritual vibrancy – especially in the man.
As your tantra teacher will tell you, the male is in greater danger of prana Shakti depletion because it is the man who releases it the most during orgasm. Men who are very sexually active therefore find it harder to benefit from the spiritual aspects of tantric sex. For them, tantra yoga can be a great blessing, since it helps in bringing about a more stable inner environment while at the same time focusing the male energy in a more beneficial way.
However, it is the not the man alone who is responsible for this. The woman, as the recipient of his sexual gift, must also be trained in the art of sexual energy management. Under the tutelage of an accomplished tantra teacher, both the man and woman can learn how to use tantric yoga techniques to manage sexual energy in a more mutually fulfilling way. Without this ability to manage their erotic energy, it becomes difficult for the couple to attain the required levels of spiritual maturity that tantra sex requires.

The art and science of tantra is many things – but above everything else, it is the science of love. Love becomes a verb and is no longer an abstract concept. Love becomes worship, and femininity becomes the Sacred Feminine. Your woman is no longer merely a woman – she is a deity, and a deity deserves to be worshipped.
Tantra goddess worship is of great benefit to your woman, since she attains her ultimate emotional goal – to be cherished. However, tantra goddess worship is a lot more than a set of rituals – it is a whole mind-set that must be integrated into the man’s psyche and life. This mind-set is gradually inculcated as the man begins to understand the nuances of his training under a tantra teacher.
What does it mean to worship or completely cherish a woman? Does it merely involve overt displays of sexual interest? Not at all. While every woman enjoys being praised for her desirability, what she really yearns for is to be fully understood and accepted by her man. Such understanding and acceptance can only come from attentive, worshipful listening.
Pay attention as your tantra teacher as he describes your woman’s deepest emotional needs. Her gender has been subjugated by the more forceful and wilful male for centuries. Her voice has been silenced by tradition, society and her own feelings of unworthiness. When you worship her as the tantric goddess in your life, your first duty is to allow her to express herself to you.
Learn to listen to your woman – really listen. Not only must you listen, you must also know how to make her open up her thoughts to you. Remember that sacred sex must always be preceded by sacred love. For sacred love to become manifest, the object of your love must first be made aware of her own holiness. When you sense any sort of emotional discord or disturbance in your woman, ask her gently what it is that upsets her.
She may not open her heart to you immediately. Nudge her gently until she volunteers to disclose the source of her discontent to you. When she does open up, assume and maintain an attitude of worshipful attentiveness. Never interrupt her as she expresses herself. Always validate what she tells you. Never criticise her or question the veracity of her feelings.
Foster and grow this attitude of worshipful listening with your woman with the guidance of your tantra teacher. You will be amazed at how much more responsive she will become to you. Only when this deep emotional connection between man and woman is established can genuine tantra goddess worship take place.

Tantra yoga for women is a much larger concept that most would believe. It definitely is not merely about making the woman a more suitable receptacle of a man’s sexual advances. Yoga is an ancient Indian system of postures and exercises that strengthen the body and lend it more flexibility. This promotes overall health and helps channel all energy more fruitfully – whether it is sexual or spiritual energy.
Today’s stressful and hectic pace of life has not spared women – they are as subject to fatigue and burnout as men are. Tantra yoga is a refined form of the ancient yogic sciences that calms the mind and promotes energy. It is quite different from conventional forms of exercise; we tend to consume energy in sports and other strenuous exercises, while tantra yoga actually generates energy. Taught by an experienced tantra teacher, tantric yoga is in fact a great boon to the modern woman.
In tantric yoga, slow and steady movements are used to segue from one posture into another. The practitioner maintains each posture for a certain prescribed period, breathing calmly and unhurriedly. A full sequence of tantra yoga exercises is usually followed by a period of quiet meditation. The tantra master supervising the process often provides calming instructions and suggestions to induce this meditative state.
Tantric yoga is an ideal way for women to regain health and wellbeing. The very nature of this system is gentleness, which is the essential virtue of the sacred feminine. There is very little danger of injury if tantra yoga is practiced under the guidance of an experienced tantric teacher. At no point is the yogic student required to go beyond endurance limits. The accent is on smooth, balanced and symmetric movements and postures which stretch, tone and energize every part of the body. The emphasis on symmetry and balance brings with it mental and emotional balance, as well.
Contrary to misconceptions, women of all ages can practice tantric yoga without limitations. A good tantra teacher will be able to modify and customize the postures and stretches according to age and physical condition. Tantra yoga is a stress-free, powerful and extremely effective exercise system that can work miracles for women of all age groups and body types. If a woman wants a healthy way of life that is free from strain and stress, she should most definitely learn tantra yoga under a qualified tantra master.
To answer a final question that will doubtlessly arise in the mind of the reader – yes, tantra yoga also revitalizes a woman’s sexual experience and enjoyment. Both physically and emotionally, this system enables her to reach her fullest sexual potential. However, this is not the primary objective of tantra yoga. It is merely one of the many benefits it brings with it.
