FAQ’s - Frequently asked questions about Tantra
Exploring & understanding Tantra – Your Questions Answered
Tantra Immersion with Kāmadevī | Soul Studio, Zug (Switzerland)
Tantra is a term that often sparks curiosity, fascination, and sometimes confusion. As we prepare to welcome you to our upcoming Tantra Immersion in Switzerland, we want to offer clarity and insight into what Tantra truly is — and what it isn't.
Whether you're completely new to the concept or already exploring its practices, this blog post answers some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. Our intention is to create a safe, grounded, and heart-centered space for you to explore the depth and beauty of Tantra yoga, beyond the myths and misconceptions.
1. What is Tantra?
‘Tan’ means expansion while ‘tra’ means freedom making it a natural evolution of yoga which guides you into the art of being free from physical, mental and spiritual bondages through the fluidity of energy. When we expand our capacity to hold greater energy known in Sanskrit as ‘Shakti’, synchronistically we begin to merge with higher consciousness, ‘Shiva’.
Tantra is an ancient spiritual path that invites us to embrace the fullness of life - not by escaping the body or the world, but by entering it fully, with awareness and love.
It's a path of presence, devotion, and deep connection - where everything, from breath to movement to emotion, becomes part of the sacred. Far from being just a sexual practice (as it's often misunderstood), Tantra is about awakening to your true nature and living from the heart, with clarity, courage, and joy.
Embodiment is part of Tantra as it is an experiential science that moves through our body and situational, it is not just a concept, but as a living truth. Through movement, breathwork, ritual, and somatic inquiry, you’ll be guided to listen to your body’s wisdom, soften old patterns, and open to divine intelligence flowing through you.
It’s about reconnecting with your aliveness, your sensuality, your emotions, and your soul - all as doorways to awakening. This is a journey of intimacy with yourself and life - raw, real, and reverent.
While we are inherently limitless, the art of tantra guides us to cultivate and contain that boundless energy within the framework of our body, mind, and sensory temple.
The sense temple = soulfulness.
As we become familiar with the omnipresence within our physical existence, where we also encounter limitations, we learn to honor these boundaries and allow them to also serve as doorways to a greater perception. In doing so, we cultivate a palpable relationship with this vast Presence and energy, often referred to as life force or prāna.
The practice is to be, and by being we become more present. Which results in an energetic vibrancy. We access and commune with our inherent life force, and we feel it pulsating within all of life.
When we are not present, we quickly become aware of this non-present state.
We face our states, we inquire and we explore the terrain of reality but through the eye of consciousness.
We give space to consciousness (the infinite). Practically this looks like; prioritising time to rest in nature, having a meditative / yogic practice, rising in the morning and observing the shift from sleeping to waking states, embodiment / somatic practices which instil expansive sensation into the body, ethical foods and living.
2. Do I need any experience with Tantra or yoga to join this immersion?
Not at all. This Tantra immersion is open to all levels, including complete beginners. Whether you're new to Tantra or already on a path of embodiment and self-discovery, you’ll be gently guided in a safe and inclusive space. All that’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to explore.
3. Is this a sexual workshop?
No. While Tantra honors our sensuality, this workshop is not focused on sexuality or partner practices. Instead, we explore Tantra as a holistic, heart-centered path using tools like breath, meditation, movement, and sacred ritual. All practices are fully clothed and rooted in mutual respect and clear boundaries.
4. Do I need to come with a partner?
Absolutely not. Tantra starts with the relationship to yourself. While some workshops include optional partner exercises, these can be done with a fellow participant or solo. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between — you are warmly welcome.
5. What can I expect at the Tantra Immersion at the Soul Studio Zug?
Held at Soul Studio in Zug, Switzerland, this weekend Tantra immersion “TANTRIC HEART” is designed to be inclusive, respectful, and transformative. Expect:
Shiva shakti kundalini - is a journey of meditation through the medicine of the Sacred Serpent along our spine.
Textural awareness - encompasses therapeutic approaches that investigate the differences between internal and external somatic dialogue.
Breath immersion - Through trauma-informed breathwork practices, we can explore the threshold of what our bodies are ready to release, such as traumas, which can ultimately lead to greater freedom.
Therapeutic gestures - This includes exploring body alignment and our interactions with the space and objects around us.
Thoughts and behaviors - will be examined for any patterns to be seen, practices of self-love and forgiveness give way for us to actively work on releasing what no longer serves us.
Awareness of gratitude - This practice also helps us discern what no longer fits into our lives, allowing us to transform those elements into what we truly desire.
Dream weaving - invites us to live fully, embracing the palpable joy and bliss that comes from being alive. This vibrant sense of joy reflects our youthful spirit and helps maintain our well-being.
There’s no nudity or explicit content. Our focus is on nervous system regulation, Tantra Yoga with Chakra awareness, the relationship between Karma (the consequences of action) and Dharma (purposeful living) through alchemical practices and somatic embodiment rituals, Yantra and Rite of Passage ritual.
6. Who is Kāmadevi?

She is adept at awakening the inner guru in others by acting as a channel to Spirit, weaving in beauty as a point of contemplation and devotion.

Her experience is vast, with decades of teaching experience / holistic bodywork / online and in-person mentoring and 700 HR Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). She is also the co-founder of Shiva Shakti Tantra Yoga Teacher Training.
Kāmadevī spent many years living in holy places of India to understand the deep culture from which yoga was born. As an international teacher and world traveller she can relate with people from all walks of life, empowering her students to cultivate innate harmony and deep wisdom.
5. Do I need to participate in all the immersion or is it possible to book only certain days/ half-days?
The immersion is thoughtfully designed as a full journey from Friday evening 6pm to Sunday afternoon 6pm (total of 15 hours). However, the Friday evening session can be booked separately as a standalone experience.
It serves as a gentle, embodied introduction to Tantra — titled “Introduction to the Authenticity of Tantra and Our Nervous System”. This session invites you to explore the primal and intuitive aspects of embodied theory and nervous system awareness in a safe and grounded way.
If you feel called to immerse yourself in this 3-Day experience, we recommend you book the full weekend immersion.
Please note that the rest of the workshop (Saturday & Sunday) can only be attended as a complete experience and cannot be booked separately.
If you're unsure whether this immersion is right for you, we warmly encourage you to book a free 20-minute clarity call with the teacher Kāmadevī to ask questions and feel into what’s best for your journey.
6. What should I bring and wear?
Please wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move and feel at ease. We’ll be sitting, moving, and lying down at times, so layers are helpful.
Additionally, you migt want to bring with you:
A journal and pen
Water bottle
Optional: a shawl, essential oil, or small altar item for personal ritual
This is your space to feel grounded, open, and connected — come as you are.
7. What happens after the immersion? How do I keep integrating the experience?
To support you in bringing the insights and shifts from the immersion into daily life, we offer the NAKED Online Container—an optional 8-week integration journey with live masterclasses and group support. You can also choose to work with Kāmadevī 1:1 for deeper guidance. Many participants find that this post-retreat support is where lasting transformation really takes root.
