Ipsalu Tantra – Kriya Yoga Intensive L1

Join us for the Level 1 Cobra Breath Intensive in the rainforest of Costa Rica. Learn ancient Tantric ways of relating and connecting to both yourself and others through discipline and play.

Ipsalu Kriya Tantra invites us to descend, into the body, into sensation, into the living intelligence of eros, as the ground of our awakening. The erotic is not reduced to performance or pleasure but honored as a current of sacred life-force.

This is an invitation  to become intimate with our contradictions, to metabolize shame into compassion, to  let love inscribe the story we are here to live

Ipsalu asks us to move through the world with both discipline and devotion, weaving somatic insight into the ordinary rituals of daily life. This practice invites us to lean into our contradictions,  to hold the messy and meet the shadowed parts with tenderness.

The practice centers:

• Erotic reclamation as a form of trauma healing and energetic re-sovereignty
• Embodied witnessing:  the capacity to feel without collapse, to see without separation
• Heart-centered relating rooted in presence, transparency, and mutual recognition
• Awakening consciousness through the soma:  where the breath, the body, and awareness become one instrument

This four-day course offers an immersive experience in Tantric practices. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions and designed to help you reconnect with your body, deepen your awareness, and build more intentional relationships with yourself and others. Through a balance of structure and exploration, this intensive is open to both singles and couples.

At the heart of the course is the Cosmic Cobra Breath, a breathing technique that works with erotic and life-force energy to support mental clarity, emotional resilience, and expanded self-awareness. Participants are guided toward completion into the first level of this practice, which encourages a shift from reactive patterns into conscious witnessing of one’s experience.

The training introduces the Ipsalu Formula, a practical method for cultivating grounded presence, emotional release, and physical vitality.

Core focus areas of Level 1 include:

• Cultivating presence and awareness in the body
• Disrupting habitual narratives and reactive patterns
• Exploring the relationship between breath, sensation, and consciousness
• Integrating mind, body, and spirit through movement, sound, and stillness

This course invites you to explore:

• How to connect erotic energy with emotional openness, creativity, and a deeper sense of meaning
• Practices for working with erotic life-force energy to support physical vitality and artistic or personal expression
• Ways to cultivate presence and intimacy,  with yourself or a partner, through grounded, embodied attention
• Tools to identify and release physical and emotional blocks held in the body
• Practices to quiet the inner critic and develop compassion for your full, complex self
• Techniques to sustain and deepen erotic connection and intimate engagement over time
• Support for moving beyond limiting narratives into a more empowered, authentic way of being
• A space to clarify and align with your core values, purpose, or inner direction

This work is immersive and transformative; joyful, embodied, and respectful. You’ll be supported through movement, music, massage, and playful interaction while working with subtle energies. While erotic energy is honored and consciously explored, there is no explicit erotic or sexual activity in the space.

This is a space of integrity, care, and deep listening — rooted in respect for each participant’s boundaries, agency, and lived experience.
