Esoteric Tantra Yoga
Live Consciously & Learn From Everything
Tantra is a spiritual path which suggests to live consciously and learn from everything life has to offer.
It is known as as a path of living detached yet fully engaged with the world, and is suited for those who aim to use every life situation as an opportunity for growth.
Unlike other spiritual paths which deny or renounce worldly desires & sexuality, Tantra suggests that all of life’s experiences should be lived fully, consciously, and courageously.
Through the power of consciousness, every situation and challenge becomes an opportunity for transformation. And you are capable to transform any part of life that you choose.
In the Esoteric Tantra Yoga course, we approach Tantra as both a genuine spiritual path and one of the most efficient systems for transformation & personal development.
Explore Tantric Eroticism & Conscious Couple Relationships
There are many misconceptions about “Tantric Sex” today. This course will clarify the difference between sex and pure eroticism, and how genuine Tantrics approach relationships & lovemaking.
Tantra teaches the keys to long-lasting love & attraction in couple relationships. In Tantra, relationships & lovemaking are some of the most powerful tools for growth, transformation, and endless happiness – when taken consciously!
You will also learn practical methods to use the creative sexual potential for higher purposes – to improve focus & performance at work, to increase love & happiness in everyday life, and even to reach the highest spiritual realizations.
This course is for you if…
You are interested in consciously transforming your life
Tantra does not deny or ignore any aspect of life – it aims to become fully conscious of everything, and to transform them using the power of consciousness.
You will learn tools & methods that can transform every area of your life with proper & perseverent practice. You don’t even have to believe it at first – if you try, you will see for yourself!
You want a practical, scientific approach to spirituality

These are explored in a way that is accessible for everyone. Even total beginners can understand the principles presented in this course.

Class Structure
In the first year, classes are 2.5 hours consisting of 90 minutes of practice, and 60 minutes of theory.
There are 46-48 classes in a year – 1 per week. Classes pause in August and resume in September each year.
New students must start in Year 1. Skipping years is not allowed, because the later years build upon the foundations set in earlier years.
Practice
Each class begins and ends with a meditation with music to enter into resonance with the theme of the class.
The main practice session is approx. 90 minutes and consists of 3 phases:
1. Initial awareness & warming-up exercises
The practice begins with an initial phase of awareness and warming up – to stretch the muscles, increase flexibility, and gently prepare the body to perform the various postures of ASANAS successfully.
2. The main techniques
Practice can include asanas, pranayama, meditation, and other techniques taught in the course.
3. The complete yogic relaxation
The complete yogic relaxation is an active, conscious relaxation of the entire being. It crystallizes the results of the practice, creating long-lasting effects we can perceive even in daily life.
Theory
Theory (approx. 60 minutes) will be presented on various subjects such as:
- The game of polarity (between masculine & feminine aspects) & mechanisms of attraction
- Subtle force centers (chakras) and energetic pathways of the human body (nadis/meridians) which affect human psychology & behavior
- Tantric tools & techniques – such as asanas, pranayama, and meditation, and visualization – and their effects on your inner states & daily life
Each class also includes:
Weekly Course Materials
The course materials include descriptions of the techniques you will learn, and the effects of these techniques on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
Due to the depth of the courses, the course materials often contain more information than is possible to discuss in the class - so we highly recommend you study and keep them!

Meet the Teachers
Marilena
Marilena has been practicing Tantra-Yoga for 14 years and teaching the Intensive Tantra course for 7 years. She first felt called to search for more depth and meaning in her late teens after reading about mysterious subtle realities that left a very tangible sense of magic and truth in her heart.
In 2007 she discovered a yoga class that felt complete and holistic in its teachings. It turned out to be much more than expected, and would be the start of a long-term journey and exploration into herself and life itself.
The Tantric teachings and practices were, and continue to be, pillars around which her life experiences become coherent, meaningful and useful. It was a natural step to begin to share these precious gems with others, and her wish to help others by sharing this knowledge is what inspires each step forward on this path.

With a huge love for India and oriental spirituality since childhood, Angela studied Indology (Sanskrit and ancient classical India) as well as South Asian studies (Hindi and modern India) in university.
She also went on to study foot reflexology and Ayurvedic massage therapy. But her love for Tantra prevailed and eventually led her to learn tantra massage and, soon after, founded the Tantra Temple in 2006.
She is also passionate about theatre, and played in a performance that won the National Danish award for being the best performance of the year in 2018.
Her love and experience with theatre can be felt in the playfulness and creativity she manifests when she teaches classes and creates and conducts workshops.
Angela will be teaching Year 1 Tantra in Copenhagen together with Valentino on Wednesdays 17.00 – 19.30.
Valentino
Valentino had his first out of body experience when he was 10 – this would lead him on the path to the study of the arcane. A vivid interest in the Occult aspects of life took him down the road of Esoteric astrology, numerology and the magic of the tarot.
Eventually by “chance” he stumbled upon the Tantra course in 2003 and since then he never looked back.
He has a Master’s degree in business and finance and is a certified Gestalt therapist. If you don’t find him in deep meditation, he can be found in the kitchen, preparing a new delicious meal for one of the many events and retreats at NATHA.
