ABOUT THIS TRAINING
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.
Working with sexual energy can be profoundly pleasurable, igniting waves of bliss that ripple through the whole body and soul, while also gently opening our core wounds, like fear, shame, guilt, abandonment, rejection, sexual conditioning, or abuse. In Tantra massage, this pleasure is not merely a sensation but a gateway to spiritual ecstasy grounded in the body. Genital healing plays a pivotal role. Releasing stored traumas in the Yoni or Lingam through tender, conscious touch that restores vitality, fosters self-love, and reconnects us to our innate sacred sexuality.
While you learn to work with sexual energy, you will learn to hold space for trauma and emotional releases with love and presence. In the process of receiving and giving, you might undergo energetic cleansing and emotional release during the retreat, which will purify you to give a Tantric massage with unconditional love and presence.
The training is trauma-informed, offering deep healing and a transformation of your entire being. My assistants and I are experienced therapists and energy workers and can provide you with a very loving and safe space and strong emotional support for your healing process. Please let us know in your registration about any traumas, painful childhood experiences, or blockages and conditioning that you would like to change. Thank you!

Reflex Zones of the Genitals: A Taoist and Therapeutic Overview
In Taoist sexual reflexology and sexological bodywork, the genitals are seen as a powerful “map” of the body, with reflex zones — specific areas of concentrated nerve endings and energy points — that connect directly to organs, glands, and meridians. These zones act like acupressure gateways: gentle stimulation sends healing energy (chi or prana) throughout the system, boosting circulation, releasing tension, and enhancing vitality. Unlike foot reflexology, genital zones are the most potent because they house life’s root energy (jing), linked to the five elements (water for kidneys, fire for heart, etc.). This practice, popularised by experts like Mantak Chia, turns intimate touch into therapeutic “ecstatic acupressure” for emotional balance, sexual health, and organ support. Always approach with consent, lube, breathwork, and slowness to avoid overwhelm.
Genital & Anal Mapping
Genital & pelvic mapping is a somatic practice for deep healing and embodiment. Pioneered in modalities like Yoni therapy, it uses slow, intentional touch to chart sensations across the vulva, vagina (yoni), penis (lingam), perineum, and pelvic depths. Practitioners view it as “internal acupressure” that uncovers trigger points of tension, trauma, or numbness, while highlighting erogenous zones for pleasure. This mindful exploration — solo or guided — releases physical knots and emotional blocks stored in pelvic tissues, often from past experiences like assault or medical discomfort.
Anal mapping extends this to the rectal area, mapping sensitivity in the outer ring, inner walls, and prostate. Tantric therapists emphasise their role in restoring circulation, easing chronic tightness, and dissolving taboos around receptivity—fostering trust and profound release, especially for trauma survivors.
Arousal mapping adds experiments by being touched with different paces, pressures, or warmth to see what builds pleasure and arousal. It’s not about rushing to climax—it’s learning your body’s rhythm.
Self-mapping & Self-Exploration: Through breathing and mindfully exploring and mapping our genitals and their physical anatomy and pleasure landscape, and our own pleasure scales, we learn to understand and listen to the body’s responses.
Yoni & Lingam Reflexology & Healing Massage
The vagina, vulva, and surrounding areas reflect the body’s yin energy and mirror the body’s core energy, especially via the pelvic diaphragms that support energy flow. Working with these zones and points in the Yoni can help to heal pelvic pain, irregular cycles, or trauma by releasing muscle tension. Yoni healing massage improves the circulation of chi (energy). It can improve fertility and lead to more clarity and joy.
The penis, scrotum, and perineum reflect the body’s yang energy, focusing on retention and circulation. It supports prostate health, firmer erections, delayed ejaculation, and transforms sexual energy into whole-body healing, reducing fatigue and boosting longevity.
Anal & Prostate Massage
This gentle work relaxes the back entrance and pelvic muscles, improving blood flow and calm. It helps with everyday tension from sitting too much or old hurts. For prostate owners, it targets a key gland inside. It clears fluid buildup, cuts pain or swelling, and eases pee issues. Many feel stronger erections, wilder orgasms, and less prostate trouble. Plus, it builds trust in letting go, turning “taboo” into deep release.
Somatic Exercises
We will be practising gentle body-based somatic practices to release and strengthen the pelvic floor—the supportive muscle base of your core. Drawing from tantra and somatic therapy, they emphasise mindful movement and breath over forceful contractions, helping you tune into subtle sensations and let go of stored tension.
The benefits are wide-ranging: They improve pelvic circulation and flexibility, reduce chronic tightness that can lead to pain or discomfort, and enhance overall body awareness. You’ll feel calmer nerves, better emotional flow, and a more profound sense of grounded sensuality—making space for more vibrant pleasure and energy in daily life.
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:
You need a moderate level of physical comfort; most practices in this module are not physically demanding.
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.
