~ COVID-19 INFORMATION ~

We follow government and venue guidelines for Covid-19 safety that are in effect at the time of the event. These can change, so please check the event details page regularly. We're all in this together so let's keep everyone safe by taking a few preventative steps: When you arrive at the venue, please wash your hands or use the hand sanitizer we provide. We will also have masks for those who need it/want it/or if regulations require. All activities can be modified to be socially distanced as needed (your host can guide you through that). Lastly, if you have cold or flu-like symptoms, or have been near someone who has tested positive for Covid, play it safe and stay home. Just let us know and we'll happily refund or transfer your ticket so you can come another time.

Updated 8/17/21 - The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommends (but does not require) indoor mask wearing. We will have masks on hand if you wish to wear them.

What is Tantra Yoga?

Well, for starters, it's not what you saw in American Pie! Tantra is thousands of years old (of Hindu and Buddhist tradition) and has become a buzzword, which unfortunately has some misleading definitions. Translated from Sanskrit, it means "weaving," which means bringing oneness to yourself and consciousness to what you do. The exercises are designed to bring you into a state of being more present when you meet your dates. And who doesn't want to be more present, right?

What is a Puja?

A Puja is an intentional ceremony. In Sanskrit it means reverence, honor, an offering. It is a ritual designed to open our hearts and allow us to see the inner beauty within ourselves and all beings. It invites us into the elegant dance of masculine and feminine in a warm space of oneness and connection--what a great way to start your first date!

What does it look like?

Participants form two circles facing each other. The men form the outside circle and the women form the inside, with each woman facing a man. Each pair then share a meaningful exchange through a directed exercise (a Puja “station”), which can be for a few seconds or a few minutes. Then they put their hands together in Namaste, thank each other and--like a speed date--rotate to the next person. The ceremony ends when everyone has rotated a full circle.

What if I don't feel comfortable doing the exercises?

Thanks for asking! While the exercises are straightforward and fun, you are always 100% at choice for how you wish to participate. If you find an exercise that doesn't work for you, then--just like in yoga--you have the option to modify or completely opt out. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, and our facilitators demonstrate what that looks like so everyone is clear before we begin.

What's the age range?

Some events are open and some have a specific age range (stated in the title)--though it's merely a suggestion, not a rule. See our statistics and learn why people love the open events on our FAQ.
