Tantsu is a practice of contact and human connection inside of Systemic Yoga.  Through engaged shared breath, full body holding and contact with our yoga companions, we connect deeply on a human level.  It is here, through this union of our humanness, that we explore the teachings of Tantra.

Ask:   How are you today Heart?
And listen for its response. . .
A beat, a glow, a tremor, a sigh . . .
Sense the deep value of recognition of  your VERY BEAUTIFUL HEART.
You both will be glad you asked!

Vijnana Bhairava Tantra #26

Tantsu is a practice in which we share our joy with others through whole body holding. Tantsu's cradles, positions in which our whole body can comfortably hold and move with another's whole body, create a containment in which it is safe to go deep within. When our breathing connects in a cradle movements resonate through our bodies, sometimes spontaneous, sometimes exploratory and playful and creative, sometimes leading us into a deeper stillness than we have ever shared with another, and joy.

A simple cradle in which one can hold anyone and share this joy can be learned in an evening. It can be shared anywhere in loose clothing. There are no long sequences or points to memorize. Tantsu is being with someone without intention, breathing and listening with your whole body, moving and stretching an arm or leg in whatever way you feel their whole body ask and, when called, pulling the other arm or leg into the dance. No part of our being is left out of the dance.

Freed from the confines that esoteric interpretations place upon other somatic and spiritual paths, freed from any intention to heal or fix that can accompany bodywork, Tantsu is a new way to be with others, a new humanism, a way to access and share our creative joy in the interplay of breath, movement and stillness.

I love the feminine and Shakti aspects of the Tantsu practice . . . the energy of the Goddess is so much inside of this practice for me that one of my wonderful friends Patricia Passo,even hand-made this wonderful "Tantsu skirt" for me!  Such fun and joy . . . Life can be deep and fun all at once!
