Tantra traces its earliest roots to the Vedas, sacred scriptures over four thousand years old. Over the millennia, many Tantra lineages evolved within Hinduism and Buddhism, rising in prominence at times due to social demands for diverse spiritual paths, at times being driven into obscurity by forces of oppression.
Today, only a few of these traditional lineages remain. At its core, Tantra goes beyond the surface to reveal the oneness in all thingsโthe source of bliss. Tantric Massage, as part of this evolution, is a deeply sensual, somatic and sacred practice, full of mystique and beauty.
Through clear, embodied presence, individuals come together to explore the practices and enter a shared state of oneness. The first inscriptions of tantra , a Sanskrit word, were found in the Vedas amidst aphorisms and allegories as cryptic methods for attaining enlightenment. Tantras defined practices of devotion, ritual, visualisation, breathwork, meditation, mantra and sacred sexuality to achieve blissful oneness with the Divine.
The word Tantra is derived from two roots: tan , meaning "to weave" or "extend," and tra , meaning "to protect" or "to save. Live true and embodied with practices designed to deepen connection to yourself through somatic awarenessโthe sensing of subtle signals within. As you learn to listen to and honour the wisdom of your body, you can move through chronic and acute tensions and into full self expression, leading to clear and strong presence, harmony and bliss in your life.
