Tantric Sex Training Shakti Tantra offers a wide range of workshop programmes, some of which are suitable for sex workers who want to feel more fulfilled by their work and also offer more fulfilling experiences for their clients. They learn how to make the session with their clients more fulfilling, so that both they and the clients come away from the session in a state of wellbeing rather than sadness or emptiness. The Shakti Tantra trainings and workshops give sex workers the opportunity to learn ways of fulfilling the client so that they can give from a place of love and enjoyment. Shakti Tantra’s teachings combine the fundamental concepts of Tantra with practical advice about working with sexuality. Key learning topics include: • opportunity for sex workers to become confident and centred in their own sexuality • the art of being total in giving to a client • the skill of erotic touch and pleasuring (male and female) • the subtleties of sensate focus and sensuality • being able to tune into the condition and needs of the client and being adept at following their energy to take them to a place of expanded pleasure • different ways of attaining intimacy • the importance of sexual communication and the various forms that it can take. Ultimately the aim of the teachings is about being creative and providing a quality of touch and experience that really meets the desires of the client and takes sex worker and client to a place of mutual satisfaction. info@shaktitantra.co.uk 07968 665729 http://www.shaktitantra.co.uk
