This Level 2 Tantra Massage Course comprises 4.5 days of intensive training and extensive practice for professional & private use. Elevate your practice with this immersive advanced training, designed exclusively for Tantra massage practitioners and graduates of Pola Vida’s Foundational Tantra Massage Training Level 1.
The training is trauma-informed, offering deep healing and a transformation of your entire being.

PROGRAM
Tantric bodywork builds on the sacred rituals of traditional Tantra massage, venturing deeper into physical and sexual blockages by weaving in intuitive elements from Thai massage and Shiatsu. This fusion marries precise bodywork with the sensual, heart-centred essence of Tantra, creating moments of profound connection and release.
Experience transformative healing as Tantric bodywork dissolves emotional and sexual tensions, harmonises your chakras, purifies your energy field, and ignites deep relaxation alongside a surge of vitality. Gentle movements and targeted clearing enhance pranic flow, boost mobility, and awaken your innate freedom. There’s exquisite joy in surrendering to the touch of another naked body—being stretched, cradled, and guided—reclaiming the pure, unburdened essence of our birthright: naked, alive, and utterly embodied.
By aligning the physical form, unblocking energy meridians, and restoring Yin-Yang equilibrium, recipients emerge profoundly relaxed yet vibrantly energised, with benefits lingering long after the session. Lingam and Yoni work are seamlessly integrated, honouring the full spectrum of sensual awakening.
Over each training day, you’ll dive into dynamic group practices and partnered exercises—including meditation, breathwork, rituals, Yoga, and hands-on massage—in pairs or triads. (For full details on eligibility and preparation, see our ‘Participation Requirements’ below.)

YOUR TEACHER
POLA VIDA – TANTRA & ENERGYWORK, COACHING & THERAPY
With over 15 years as a Tantra & Body Therapist, I’ve supported thousands of clients in Germany, India, and Portugal through bodywork, energy work, and coaching. Since 2007, I’ve trained in a range of modalities, including Thai Yoga Massage, OsteoThai, Chinese TuiNa, Ayurvedic Massage, Theta Healing, Tantra Massage, Tantra, Energywork and Breathwork, merging tools to help people reconnect with their bodies and emotions in real, meaningful ways and to heal their traumatic and childhood wounds.
I specialise in Tantric therapy and life coaching, combined with body & energy work that promotes relaxation of the nervous system and the flow of energy. My sessions and coaching provide safe, supportive spaces for individuals and couples to address emotional stress, release sexual blocks, and build deeper intimacy — leading to tangible shifts like greater self-confidence, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of pleasure and ease in your body. During life transitions, I guide you toward practical self-love and resilience, helping you navigate challenges with clarity and compassion and supporting your ability to regulate your nervous system.
Through private therapy, couples sessions, workshops on shadow work and emotional healing, and trainings and retreats, my approach focuses on spiritual growth and embodied transformation: fostering self-respect, stronger connections, and a more joyful, embodied life. Clients often share that my work feels like a turning point—”the safest space I’ve known” — sparking “profound intimacy” and “a fresh start in loving myself and my partner.” Read more about POLA
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Gender Balance:
This is a balanced, mixed-gender group training with an equal number of men and women, limited to 14-16 participants to foster deep connection and personalised attention. You are invited to come as an individual or as a couple. We ensure gender balance in the group.
Nudity & Cross-Partner Practice:
To fully embrace this transformative journey, you’ll need to feel at ease with nudity and the intimate, non-sexual exchange of energy while working with different massage partners. The cross-partner practice is recommended to gain as many other experiences with various bodies and people.
Couples Partner Practice:
If you’re attending as a couple, you’re warmly invited to work exclusively together if that feels right, honouring your unique bond. That said, from a therapeutic perspective, we gently encourage rotating partners to maximise your practice, build confidence in giving and receiving, and unlock deeper layers of intimacy and self-love—just as many couples have shared how this expanded their connection beyond what they imagined, leading to “profound shifts” in trust and pleasure.
Physical Requirements:
For the Tnatric Bodywork module, you need a good level of physical comfort, moderate strength, and flexibility—especially in your knees and hips—for kneeling, leaning, and sustained postures. If you’re unsure about your fitness for the course, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us (details below) for personalised guidance.
Experience Level:
For Tantra massage practitioners and graduates of Pola Vida’s Foundational Tantra Massage Training Level 1.
Boundaries & Sexual Activities :
At the heart of this Tantra Massage training is a profound commitment to creating a sacred, professional, and respectful container in which healing, connection, and growth can unfold without compromise. The training focuses on the art of conscious touch, energy work, and emotional embodiment and does not involve any sexual activity whatsoever. Our practices are designed to honour the body’s innate wisdom and the spirit’s call to wholeness, guiding you through sensual, full-body massages that awaken pleasure and vitality in a non-sexual, therapeutic context. Yoni and Lingam work, for instance, are approached as gentle, healing rituals rooted in Tantric reverence for the sacred anatomy, emphasising release of stored tensions, restoration of energetic flow, and cultivation of self-compassion — rather than crossing into erotic stimulation with the goal of orgasm.
Boundaries & Trauma:
We uphold the highest standards of consent, boundaries, and safety, with clear guidelines established from day one: all touch remains professional and aligned with the therapeutic intentions of Tantra, free of any sexual exchange. This trauma-informed approach ensures that every participant feels empowered to voice their needs, pause at any moment, or adjust as required, fostering trust and vulnerability in a space where subconscious wounds can be met with unconditional love rather than fear or rejection. As many who’ve joined us have reflected, this clarity allows for true liberation—transforming old patterns of shame or disconnection into waves of embodied joy and spiritual presence, without the weight of unspoken expectations.
If you have any concerns about your body’s readiness or how this aligns with your needs, please reach out.
We’re here to create a genuinely inclusive space (contact details below). As a trauma-informed container rooted in safety and emotional support, we’ve guided complete beginners to seasoned practitioners through releases and breakthroughs with compassion and care.
