Tantra Coaching: An Introduction

By Niyaso Carter

Mutual understanding, deep intimacy, sexual fulfilment and passion: These are not givens simply because you’re in a relationship. Every day more people are waking up from the movie-and-media-induced myth that, once you’ve found Mr or Mrs Right, you live happily ever after. When their current relationship falls short of perfect – and inevitably it will – people start to question themselves and their relationships. ‘This is not the way it’s ‘meant’ to be! So maybe something is wrong with me... or with us?’ And you either carry on despite your doubts, thinking ‘this is as good as it gets’, or you get divorced and hope for more luck on the next round, right?

Happily, life doesn’t have to be like that. Couples realize, sometimes through pain and struggle, that unlike romances on the big screen, good relationships in the real world don’t just happen. Deep intimacy, real understanding, and a mutually fulfilling sex life require a commitment to growth, a willingness to put time and energy into the relationship, and an openness to allowing vulnerability and new experiences.

Once couples begin to take proactive steps to deepen their relationship, they recognize that receiving information and support from outside the relationship is an ingredient that makes opening to each other in new ways more likely, much easier, and more playful and fun. Having guidance from an outside source can sometimes make all the difference in enabling a couple to take the necessary steps to go to the next levels of love, joy and ecstasy, or to save a troubled relationship. When things start to get personal, it can be difficult to step outside the well worn habits and find a way to turn things around, which is when outside help can be of real benefit. Another reason people come to these sessions is often not unhappiness with their relationship but a desire for the deepest intimacy and the most passion and love possible.
Tantra Coaching is what I’ve called the sessions that I offer to support couples in this blossoming of their relationship.

What is Tantra Coaching?

Tantra Coaching is a melding of eastern meditation and tantric practices, as well as psychology and body therapies, into a session – or a series of sessions – to aid couples and individuals in achieving the levels of love, intimacy, sexual fulfilment and healing that they desire.

While the word ‘Tantra’ is commonly used today, its meaning is as varied as the people who use it (for a fuller explanation, read the section entitled ‘What is Tantra?’). In a nutshell, ‘Tantra’ is learning the art of using all of life, including our sexual energy, as a path to love of self, love of others, love of all of life. It is a path to the Sacred.

On a purely practical level, it would be true to say that Niyaso simply helps people with their sex lives. You might even call her a sex therapist, as her work often involves helping people with some of the practical questions or difficulties that can arise with sex, listening to what concerns them and teaching them about the graphic details surrounding these issues.

What’s more important to her though is that she teaches people how to use the difficulties and joys that arise in their sexual and intimate relating as doorways to deepen the love between them, and so also deepen their understanding and care for themselves, and their connection to the divine.

As a general guide, sessions may include:

  • Energy exercises (understanding and opening energy flow)
  • Breathing exercises
  • Centering meditations
  • Active listening
  • ‘No blame’ communication
  • Tantric exercises
  • Learning about the dynamics of yin and yang
  • Learning how to stay in your power and inner truth while relating
  • Understanding your emotional patterns in relationship
  • Information about sexual issues
  • Learning how to open your body
  • Understanding the interplay of emotions and sexuality
  • Problem solving for difficulties

Tantra Coaching Session For Couples

Offering tools, information and practices, Tantra Coaching sessions for couples serve as an inspiration and support system for you and your partner to explore new ways of relating, to find deeper intimacy and to increase your sexual pleasure and fulfilment.

Many couples enjoy these sessions as part of their vacation in the paradise of Hawaii. Vacation can be the perfect time to open anew in love, to expand the capacity for joy, or to address specific issues in the relationship.

To start the first session, Niyaso asks both partners what they are hoping to learn from the sessions, what issues they have involving their relationship and sexuality, and what results they are hoping to achieve from the sessions. Based on the answers to these questions, she is able to create a learning experience that will prove the most beneficial for the growth and fulfilment of their relationship at that time. Often there are a variety of points that couples can choose from to focus on during the course of a session.

The majority of Tantra coaching sessions for couples involve learning exercises, practices and skills, with plenty of room for questions and discussions as the session progresses. Discovering what specific lessons your partner is here to help you learn can be an important aspect of the sessions.

No explicit sexual activities and no nudity are required during the sessions. Niyaso may suggest ‘homework’ exercises and further resource materials. While the homework is optional and is designed to be to be fun (and still leave lots of time for to enjoy the island for those of you who are holidaying in Hawaii), it forms an important part of the program for those couples who would like to work more intensively.
In following sessions, any homework exercises that you chose to undertake are discussed, including any questions or difficulties that may have arisen. She then moves on to expand on what’s been learned and perhaps introduces new material. This creates a progressive opening experience for the couple as a whole as well as for each individual. Sometimes Niyaso may work separately with one or both of the partners, or talk separately to each partner before going on to the next step on the road to love, health and happiness.

Niyaso’s background covers both ancient tantric principles and meditation as well as psychology and body oriented therapies (including working with trauma and abuse issues), there is great scope as to what can be covered in the session. Depending on your interests and current situation, Niyaso will find the best ways to help you learn. Always, the sessions are conducted with your goals in mind and with complete consideration of your comfort, to make the experience enjoyable and rewarding for you. You and your partner will be invited to help shape the sessions so that you feel secure, safe and respected at all times.

Session structure – everything from the number of sessions you choose to have to what they will involve – is very flexible: We can create packages of 2 to 5 sessions that are several days apart (leaving time in between to let you assimilate the information and try the suggested exercises), or cater to any number of sessions from one up depending on how often you choose to visit us. The most popular combination is 3 sessions over the course of a week, though some couples even like to visit us daily. How little or how much is entirely up to you. (Couples from ‘off island’ may need to take a day to unwind and acclimatize before starting the sessions.)

Whether your relationship is fresh and new, or whether you and your partner have raised your children and are now looking to come together in a new way and explore spiritual sex, or if you’re perhaps having problems in a relationship that still means a lot to you, Tantra Coaching sessions can help you to find the love, health, sexual fulfilment and enjoyment that you want from your life.

Tantra Coaching Sessions for Individuals

Tantra is not a practice that’s purely for people who are in a relationship, and the words ‘single’ and ‘happy’ are not mutually exclusive. The ancient Tantrikas (people who practiced the religion of Tantra) spent years in solo preparation to prepare for the meeting with their beloved and the Divine.

There is much that you can learn and open to on your own. In fact, there are some things that require a time of solitude to blossom and mature, and you can always open to the Divine – that’s certainly not a blessing kept only for those people who are in a relationship.

Individual sessions can be useful in a variety of ways: Receiving information, learning practices, becoming more at home in your body, finding support to sort through emotions with regard to a recently ended relationship, or learning how to attract a well matched partner.

Individual sessions are also beneficial to persons who are already in a committed relationship but are unable to bring their partner. They can take many useful exercises and insights home with them to their loved one.

As in the sessions for couples, what happens in an individual session depends entirely on what a person needs to progress toward sexual and emotional fulfilment and Divine love. Even though she may offer experiential exercises and meditations during these sessions, her approach in working with individuals is not hands on.

Sometimes people choose to take these sessions in addition to our scheduled workshops; others prefer the privacy of the sessions to the group context. Whatever your preference is, the most important thing is that you will be made comfortable, and will find the experience beneficial and enjoyable.

The video Niyaso co-created with Australian director Cynthia Connop is a good introduction to some of the basic tantric ideas presented in the Tantra Coaching sessions. Though the sessions allow more flexibility and have a much broader scope of topics that can be covered, the video is an invaluable tool for inspiring and enhancing your sexual life.

What is Tantra?

I often get asked: what is Tantra and what is Tantric Sex? The term Tantra has become popular lately, but few people really know what it means. Tantra was a religious sect in ancient India. Buddhists, Hindus and people from various other religions were associated with Tantric sects. What made Tantra different from other religious groups is that the tantrikas, the followers of Tantra, believed that personal fulfillment and union with God, came through living, accepting, and gaining a deep understanding of all of life's energies. They believed that there is nothing in life that one needs to turn away from to be spiritual. They believed that one can reach wholeness or enlightenment through full engagement of the senses and a deep open hearted embrace of all physical experience. Birth, death, light, darkness, creation, destruction, sex --no part of the human experience was excluded. However, these tantrikas were not hedonists, or self indulgent -- far from it. Many of their practices--all designed to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of life--involved a tremendous amount of discipline, patience and diligence. Tantric masters taught their students how to use sexual energy and sexual expression consciously as a great opener to love, life, God, and all existence. Tantric sex then, in my definition, is sex imbued with love that allows us melt into the divine.
To this day there are temples in India that have on their exterior walls sculpted images of couples in various sexual acts. Those are the remnants of Tantra. The religion as such has become nearly invisible in the public eye. I personally use the word Tantra because my teacher and spiritual guide, during my years of study and practice in India, used it a lot and because he taught us the Tantric principles of life. The religion of Taoism, whose exercises I use as well in my teaching, is a religion with beliefs and practices similar to Tantra. Taoism has its origin in China, and is especially known for its practices that promote health and longevity by guiding sexual energy in specific ways.

for the The Tantra Counseling sessions with Niyaso
Below excerpts of letters and emails from people who took the session
For anonymity’s sake names have been changed

"Coming to Maui and doing the session we expected to learn sexual techniques and improve our love life, and we did both those things, but what surprised and delighted us was the spiritual depth and learning Niyaso invoked in us. We got more then we expected, we truly understand now that our relationship is part of our spiritual unfolding."
Nancy, Yoga instructor, with Randall, physician, from Vancouver

"I was amazed how comfortable I felt within minutes of knowing Niyaso and how easy it was to share real intimate details of our sex life with someone I had never met. I never thought I could do that and still feel good about it afterwards. It felt very respected and we walked away with lots of material to work with and new things to try. Now that we’ve followed her guidelines and are doing the "homework" she gave us, we realize there still lots more to learn, but it’s so very worth it. Just two sessions with her and the homework she gave us moved our relationship to a whole new level of fulfillment. We’ll be coming back next year for more."
Kim, web marketer and Patrick, attorney, from Atlanta

"The kids are grown, our financial life secure, our marriage is solid but not very intimate, it is the obvious time to attend to our relationship. In your session and during the homework you gave us we realized just how much we love each other and now we are excited to discover all the places we have yet to explore together. We are on a whole new adventure and loving it." Mark and Heidi, Texas

"Being in a session with you was like being around a really good mediator, a knowledgeable sex educator and a good spiritual guide all at once. You understood so well what I was trying to communicate, you were like a translator for me. You taught us how to hear one another without reacting and we are much clearer in our roles as feminine and masculine now. And I can see that what Lisa triggers in me is important for my emotional healing."
Jeremy and Lisa, business owners, Santa Rosa, CA

"Even though some topics were pretty intense, Niyaso has a lightness and sense of humor that made it all seem playful and easy." Tom and Margaret

"My husband set up the session and I was willing to come, but also a bit apprehensive. Niyaso’s introduction made me feel safe and comfortable right away. As we moved through the session I gained even more respect for her. Her ability to listen and her sensitivity to the moments when I was having challenging feelings arise, sensing them before I could even speak about them, made me feel very looked after and understood."
Claudia, family counselor and Daniel, stock trader from New Jersey

"We came and did the sessions for our honeymoon. Maui was so beautiful and having our own personal sex coach just made it all perfect."
Victor and Sally, New York

"Our love life had been at a standstill, we either had to get out or learn how to be together in new ways. We covered so many areas in one session, sexual information, communication tools, energetic awareness, we have lots to work with now. I’m very hopeful."
Mark, computer consultant, Emily, mother of 4, Seattle

"Niyaso is very direct, she got to the bottom of our disfunctional patterns of relating so fast we were both astounded, but she never challenged me more then I could take and always checked in how I was doing. I found her approach to be very respectful and at the same time powerful. We now have a clearer sense of why we get stuck and some good tools to get us unstuck." Paul, contractor, and Cynthia, fashion designer, Portland, OR

"We came to Maui for a learning and healing vacation after we’d seen the video the Secrets of Sacred Sex. The sessions with you were very educational, we also love the resource materials and reading suggestions you made and the exercises we can do at home now. But what stays with me most from our time together is a sense of sweetness and feeling deeply understood and touched, thank you."
Sandra, physician, and Trevor, architect from Santa Barbara

"I’m so glad we came to have these session with you before our wedding. .It set a wonderful pace of open communication and exploration in our marriage. Thank you."
David and Merely, Marin County, California

"I never knew one could go into so much verbal sexual graphic detail and have it feel so sensitive and intimate at the same time. Niyaso has a great sense of humor which helped us get through the more difficult or embarrasing parts of what we had to learn." Samantha and Theo from Germany

"Being a counselor myself I have great respect for the skill and ease with which you worked with us, I realize that I need to allow my receptive feminine more if I want my relationship with a Anthony to work." Beth, social worker
"Having been raised by only my mom I’m used to always defer to women, I realize that to truly honor who I am as a man and to truly have a good time I need trust my own power and instincts and intellect more and speak up and take charge. We both are a little wobbly in our new roles, but the spark is back in our sex life, thank you"
Anthony, musician
