What folks are saying:

"I found it to be so incredibly useful, exploring the art of breath and focusing on the energy moving through my body. Practicing since has been so helpful to me and I've been Really excited for the prospect to share in this practice with others! Would thoroughly recommend. Mara thank you so much for your offerings, and you were a delight to witness in your teaching." - Cory

"I can’t even put into words how much I got out of it. I was curious about tantra and now I just can’t get enough of it. Not only am I having the best sex of my life, I’ve also learned so much about myself and am continuing to do the work.

Mara’s teaching style is so gentle and kind. I found it really had an impact on my mood and the classes always ground me. It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner (as I was) or more experienced, I believe there is a lot to be gained from this class. As a bonus, the multidimensional orgasms I’ve gained are pretty damn dreamy.

I’d also highly recommend Mara’s chakra deep dive and can’t wait for tantra 2. " - Sally

"I thoroughly enjoyed Tantra 1 class taught by Mara and learned the foundational tantric breath that’s become the anchor for my daily practice with meditation and my ongoing tantric explorations with partners. The class is well-paced for beginners and Mara creates safe space and encourages lots of curious questions to engage participants in a collaborative learning environment with zero pressure to perform or get it right. I have since taken Mara’s Chakras class and an in person pleasure and sensory exploration class and can also recommend those for tantra or touch newbies and advanced learners alike." - Devine
