In this episode, I sit down with Heidi from Shamaya Tantra for a deep and honest conversation about what Tantra truly means—beyond the common associations with sexuality. Together, we explore the real meaning and origins of Tantra, and how it differs from and complements yoga, how Tantra is about intimacy with life, not just sex, the role of shadow work and archetypes in personal and relational healing, and so much more!
