What Is Tantra and Why Smart and Successful People Secretly Are All Doing It?
Jun 17, 2025
When I say I’m a Tantra Teacher, I love to see that moment of blank in the other person’s eyes.
Whether it’s a parent in the school run, a former corporate colleague, a childhood friend: I can usually see that in their thoughts is one of 3 things:
Orgies, really?
Oh that’s so woo woo
How can I ask without looking too interested?
But when I look closer, both in my network and in my clients pool…
Quietly—all around the world, successful, intelligent, high-functioning people… it’s happening.
They’re already there. Practising Tantra.
And what happens is that they’re called by its core essence:
Presence. Embodiment. Energy. And most of all, Freedom.
Not another self-improvement hack. Not another thing to master.
But a path home.
So let’s get real:
What is Tantra really—and why are smart, successful people secretly practicing it?

Isn’t Tantra All About Sex?
That’s the question I get the most. Tantra is not about open relationships, performance tricks, or cosmic pillow acrobatics.
In fact, most of the teachings of Tantra have nothing to do with sexuality.
Tantra is a vast, luminous path that invites you to meet life exactly as it is—through the body, not beyond it.
It teaches presence, not escape. Liberation, wholeness.
If you're curious about the most common myths, here’s a beautiful breakdown:

As Daniel Odier writes:
“The essence of Tantra is not about techniques, but about cultivating a direct taste of the real. It’s not about improving yourself — it’s about dissolving into what already is.”
That’s why it’s so magnetic.
Because deep down, you don’t want another project.
You want to remember who you already are.

Why Smart, Successful People Are Secretly Drawn to Tantra
Because success wasn’t enough. That’s it.
You did the degrees. The job. The yoga. The relationship.
You worked on yourself. You healed some things. You got things “right.”
And yet—there’s a quiet ache.
A buried longing.
A whisper that “there’s more.”
Tantra doesn’t promise to fix you.
It invites you to feel again.
To soften without falling apart.
To open without losing control.
To touch the sacred pulse underneath your to-do list.
This path gets interesting when your soul starts asking for something deeper—especially in the wake of burnout:

You Want More. Not More Stuff—More You
More intimacy. More awe. More full-body yes.
Tantra meets you in the places your mind can’t fix.
In the breath you forgot to take.
In the sensuality you’ve buried beneath efficiency.
This path isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about reclaiming the real you—the one beneath the image.
“I want to feel alive again.”
“I want to feel connected—to my body, to myself, to someone.”
“I want to feel… something real.”
That’s the voice Tantra honours.
Not with a five-step plan, but with a portal.
