Key Takeaways:

• Yoga is a system for self-realization and direct knowledge of the truth of being.
• Self-inquiry is a powerful practice that involves questioning our beliefs and identities to uncover our true nature.
• Sacred sexuality is about exploring intimacy and healing in the context of relationships, using sexual energy consciously to deepen connection and experience communion with the divine.
• Tantra encompasses both classical teachings and Neo Tantra practices, with classical Tantra focusing on a small percentage of sexual practices.
• Integrating these experiences into everyday life and relationships is essential for personal growth and spiritual development.
