What is Orgasmic Yoga?
This new, ancient yoga involves pleasurable, intimate and transformative practices that individuals, couples, or groups can do while sexually aroused. These practices always include mindful breathing, movement, touch and placement of attention. Orgasmic Yoga is both erotic vipassana and profound somatic education.
Categories of Practices:
Being and Doing
Our research over the last twenty-five years has taught us much about the non-ordinary states of consciousness activated by prolonged sexual arousal. These erotic trance states help us access wisdom, creativity, aliveness and pleasure not otherwise available to the human community. Furthermore, these embodiment practices help us expand our erotic capacity. Orgasmic yoga is sex education.
Although these practices can profoundly benefit ourselves and the whole planet, Orgasmic Yoga doesn’t have to be done for a purpose. Many practice just for the joy of being.
Who Are We?
We are a learning community of pleasure activists. We affirm that erotic pleasure is a healing principle, a source of aliveness, and a way to connect with ourselves, our partners, our communities and all of life. We are committed to the sexual well being of all people because we believe this is the quickest (and most fun) way to evolve our relationship to one another and the planet.
Orgasmic Yoga is evolving from many sources including Joseph Kramer's New School of Erotic Touch, The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, and The Body Electric School. We are Sexological Bodyworkers, yoga instructors, somatic sexologists, and massage therapists. We welcome all erotic explorers.
Your Erotic Practice
Erotic yoga exists. Tens of thousands of humans are exploring erotic trance states in their daily practice. We invite all yoga pioneers to share your erotic embodiment practices with others on video so the human community might benefit.
Can someone become embodied by watching a DVD? Yes! If your orgasmic yoga practice inspires that person to actively explore what is erotically possible. Somatic learning is an acute awareness of one's body in the present. Somatic educator Ed Maupin, Ph.D., describes embodied learning well:
Joseph Kramer, Ph.D., requests that you send your video teachings and demonstrations for inclusion in his series of DVD anthologies: Orgasmic Yoga for Men, Orgasmic Yoga for Women, Orgasmic Yoga for Couples, Orgasmic Yoga for Groups. Demonstrations should be of high quality and can be any length—even as short as two minutes. We will edit submissions we receive. We offer $100 per minute for the erotic yoga teaching we use. Please visit our guidelines for submitting video teaching. You will find practical suggestions for videotaping your embodiment practices and teachings. You will also find information on required legal documents, including model release forms and sample contracts.

"Education itself is radically altered by embodiment. What characteristics would we expect embodied education to possess? The embodied state implies the "embodied learner," who, once aroused, is the real thing: a human being in touch with essential, core responses. The appropriate education for such a learner is obviously student-centered. The embodied learner can answer the question, "what do I want to learn?" Everything which innovative educators have evolved in a way of "self-directed learning" should work with them, because they can become aware of themselves in this way."
"Students can be shown techniques, but ultimately they must devise their own: the lived body is the key to intuitive knowledge."
