We are all of the rose, ever-unfolding into the infinite bliss of pleasure encapsulated in every moment. We are born of this sacred essence, from the pure erotic innocence that lay within every form, facet, and fiber of our beings, opening, and dissolving into existence.

To know the Rose is to know thy self. Sacred, Sovereign, Sensual, Safe, and Stable. The Royal Empress of the Rose. We are all born of the Rose, my lineage is of the Rose, and I genuinely believe if you have found your way here that your lineage is of the Rose too. We are all devotees of the Divine Mother, Daughter of The Rose Lineage, here to honor the beauty way, with grace and ease we receive, walking the path paved in rose petals.

An arm outstretched from the Rose Womb Heart is a powerful gesture of reclamation. May you feel at home in this vibration, the sanctity of safety. May your heart continue to serve the highest needs of everything that has a Rose.

May you know your strength in the madness and the fire. May you return to the womb of sacred, pure love and rebirth through the world of calcification.

We are sealing you in the succulent protection of the codes of the Rose Ankh.

Welcome, Home to Your Rose Womb Heart!

Leah rose

Holy Love Institute Teacher • Tantra Yoga Practitioner • Sound Meditation Facilitator • Intimacy & Relationship Coach

Leah Rose is a teacher and facilitator devoted to the meeting place of Tantra Yoga, embodied awareness, sound, movement, meditation, sacred relationship and the healing arts.

For more than seven years, Leah has been immersed in the living Temple Arts through her work and studies with Temple of Bliss and Holy Love Institute, exploring the body as a gateway to presence, remembrance and awakened consciousness.

Her path weaves together Tantra Yoga, sound meditation, intuitive movement, sacred bodywork, relationship and intimacy studies, meditation and ritual. At the heart of her teaching is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply and become intimate with the subtle currents moving through body, heart and awareness.

The Art of Embodied Listening

What are these energies undulating through our bodies, pulsing us into life?

Leah's work begins with listening.

Listening to the breath.
Listening to sensation.
Listening to sound.
Listening to the intelligence of the body.
Listening to what is asking to awaken.

Through sound, movement, meditation and embodied Tantrik practices, Leah creates spaces for students to explore themselves with curiosity, sincerity and presence.

Her approach honors the body as a Temple of awareness, where our physical, emotional, relational and spiritual dimensions can be welcomed into greater integration.

Rather than seeking something outside ourselves, practice becomes a Ritual of Remembrance, an opportunity to recognize and inhabit more fully what is already alive within.

Sound, Vibration & Consciousness

Sound is one of the central threads of Leah's path.

As a certified Sound Meditation Facilitator and DJ, she explores vibration as both an artistic and contemplative doorway into consciousness.

Through carefully created soundscapes, meditation, movement and deep listening, Leah invites students to soften beyond the conceptual mind and enter the immediacy of felt experience.

Here, sound becomes more than something we hear.

It becomes something we feel, inhabit and move with.

Sacred Relationship

Leah's studies in intimacy and relationship coaching bring another dimension to her teaching: the understanding that relationship itself can become a profound field of practice.

Our relationships reveal where we open, where we protect, where we long to be seen and where we are being invited into deeper honesty.

Drawing upon Tantra, embodied awareness and contemporary relationship practices, Leah supports individuals and couples in cultivating greater presence, communication, intimacy and authentic connection.

Within the Holy Love path, relationship becomes another mirror through which we may recognize ourselves and one another more fully.

Teaching at Holy Love Institute

As a teacher with Holy Love Institute of Tantra Yoga, Leah brings a warm, experiential and deeply embodied approach to the classroom and Temple.

Her teaching draws from years of practice and training in Tantra Yoga, Sacred Temple Bodywork, sound meditation, relationship and intimacy work, Reiki, ritual, movement and the study of the Divine Feminine.

She is particularly passionate about creating experiences where students can move beyond simply learning about Tantra and begin to feel, explore and embody its teachings directly.

Her work reflects the heart of Integrated Tantra: bringing ancient wisdom into conversation with the modern human experience and welcoming body, mind, heart, relationship and spirit into one field of awakened awareness.

Leah's Invitation

“I invite you to listen deeply to the intelligence already moving within you. Through breath, sensation, sound, movement and presence, we create the conditions for something ancient to be remembered. My intention is to offer a space where you can soften, explore and meet yourself more fully, with curiosity, reverence and love.”

Let us come together to witness the blessing of this body, this age, this moment. We are gifted with these senses through which we can experience the divine recreated in a thousand formless forms.

Welcome.

I am delighted to share the profound connection to the ancient wisdom and mystical practices of yoga and tantra. Over the years, my journey has led me to immerse myself in extensive study and practice, allowing me to cultivate a deep understanding of these transformative disciplines.

Through my teachings, I aim to create a nurturing and supportive space for students to explore the depths of their being. I believe that the path to self-realization begins with self-acceptance and self-love. By embracing our authentic selves and connecting with our inherent divine energy, we can unlock the boundless potential that resides within each of us.

In the realm of Tantra, I explore the sacred and sensual aspects of life, guiding students towards a deeper connection with themselves and their partners. Tantra is a path of embracing the divine energy that flows through all aspects of life, including our relationships and our connection with the universe. Through conscious touch, breathwork, and ancient rituals, I help individuals tap into their innate sensuality and cultivate a more intimate and fulfilling connection with themselves and their loved ones.

My approach to teaching is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I believe in creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities to explore and expand their spiritual horizons. It is my passion to guide individuals on a transformative journey towards joy, harmony, and inner peace.

Tantra is an ancient wisdom of turning within to connect with Source and remember that you are that. This allows you to so feel more strongly connected to the Divine that you are and experience consistent moments of heaven on earth in daily life. Meditation on long, smooth breathing will slow down your heart rate and will ease your mind, allowing you to tap into the state of bliss and delight. God is closer to you than your very breath, found in-between the breaths, where time stands still.

Deliberately guiding your breath through the body will dissolve and release stagnant energy promoting balance, health, and vitality. This practice of exhaling stress and tension will make you feel relaxed and at peace. As you continue to align yourself with your true nature, you may notice more synchronicities and positive coincidences occurring in your life.

“Courage Is a Love Affair with the Unknown” ― Osho

To increase self-awareness, I encourage you to play with the edges of your comfort zone. I invite you to dance with the fear and create passion with the unknown by entertaining your senses with a wide range of tools and techniques.

It is an honor and a joy to offer Neo-Tantra & TantraBond in the Institute Workshops, as well as assisting in the Holy Love Institute of Tantra Yoga Teacher Trainings.

In Holy Love, Marta

Special Guest *MAHA* Teacher

Nubia Teixeira

Yogini, teacher, dancer, healer & author, I was born in Brazil and have been practicing and teaching traditional yoga and classical Indian Odissi dance Nubia Teixeira

for almost 30 years. I am the founder of the Bhakti Nova School of Yoga and Dance and lead classes, workshops, and teacher-trainings internationally, independently, and in collaboration with my husband, kirtan artist Jai Uttal. I live in Fairfax, California, with Jai and our son, Ezra.

I perceive Yoga as a healing art, my connection to this ancient practice is reflected in my unique teachings.

I am the author of the book Yoga and The Art of Mudras and of the instructional CD, Pranayama: May Breath Be Our Prayer.

I have dedicated the past 30 years of my life to this “art-science-philosophy-practice” called Yoga and via my personal experience, insight and curiosity I gathered many gems that supports me to support my students to stay firmly rooted in their spiritual practices.

Serving humanity with a healthy physical body, with a clear mind and an altruistic heart is critically essential now. Let us via this beautiful vehicle of our bodies, bring more light, more love, more devotion, more kindness to the world.

"I define Yoga as Grace and I see Yoga as an instrument to awaken spiritual evolution in one’s path, divine love in one’s heart and the unison of our heart’s intentions and actions. I welcome you to experience the sacredness of your incarnation via embodied practice and to find in the bountifulness of your physical body, the gateways to the realm of the extraordinary." - Nubia Teixeira

With Gratitude to my Teachers:

I feel fortunate to have received the gift of yoga from so many unique and traditional teachers. I feel the honor and the responsibility of carrying this gift within me. With this responsibility comes deep commitment and an inspiring excitement to share those teachings with you.

I have faith in the yoga techniques I practice, I rely on the Yogic scriptures to keep me on track, I reflect on the philosophical teachings to keep me inspired and nurtured. I trust that the light of the ancient yogis & yoginis and the benevolence of my spiritual guides will shine upon my heart, purifying me, so I can be an instrument for the light of Yoga itself to continue shining upon the ones near and around me.

Sharene Shamana Ma

Holy Love Institute Founder & Teaching Core Curriculum

Sharene Shamana Ma

Shamanic Tantra Yoga Teacher with 30+ years of experience, Creator of Shivakti Tantra Yoga

"Shamana Ma leads us in engaging with the immediate urgency of being alive. Her Tigress gait leads us thru the jungles of lush sensual abundance, by a masterful prowess to hunt for love in all its glitter and fur, to jump and bite thru into the tender fire source of juice and joy. Again & again, leading thru the ancient gateways of the eternal lesson: to hunt and ravish our hearts desire until we have finally found our greatest belonging - ourselves, lying naked and delicately alive on the fertile ground of truth." Michael Gaio

"Namaste, I want to once again express my deepest gratitude for your guidance to a beautiful far away space of such spiritual enlightenment. You have indeed drawn upon the vast pallet of metaphysical consciousness from the ancient world to compose a beautiful new world ritual that magically unifies all elements of its diverse origins. Through your enlightened presence and creative improvisations at each sacred enactment... this beautiful ritual appears to evolve and lyrically transition through so many memorable experiential phases. You certainly have opened the door to a magical world beyond. I would be so deeply honored to be invited to explore further..." :RA

AWAKE IN THE PLAY - SHIVAKTI SHAKTIVA - QUEEN LOVE - SHARENE SHAMANA MA

Queen Love

"Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world." Ramana Maharshi

Welcome Friends,

Let us come together to witness the blessing of this body, this age, this moment. Visionary Mystical experiences are humanity's most direct contact with God/dess and our Creative Source. We are gifted with these senses through which we can experience the divine recreated in a thousand formless forms. I AM one with the Infinite I AM, as are you.

I offer myself as a guide on the sacred journey we all share, allowing the mundane everyday world to dissolve, and opening to the molten inner core of being, creative life-force energy, divine essence and true "Self". Let us dive into the unknown and find ourselves.

My intention is to assist you in awakening within the play of consciousness, to your divine magic, birthright & power, by calling in all your energy and soul parts to be here now embodied intentionally in this moment.

Together through practices, we facilitate soul-remembrance of the inner union love-dance of Shiva-Shakti, in the fullness of Holy Love. We attune ourselves to the Light within, to the Guru Tattva, "WAHE GURU" - the true teacher, always present. We repose in pure awareness.

Through Shivakti Tantra Yoga, we create strength, flexibility, presence, aliveness, devotion, internal intimacy and creative wonder.

"Awakening to Bliss" is our divine birthright and Tantra Yoga brings us home to the truth. Each one of us here in this physical embodiment, in this "Ray of the Play", has been born of pulsating & radiant Para Devi energy, overflowing from the Fountains of Bliss. The entire Universe vibrates with supreme creative divine essence.

I am a Tantrika, a Temple Priestess, a CMT, Shivakti Tantra Yoga Teacher and intuitive shamanic healer. I am very passionate about my spiritual and physical practices. I have spent a lifetime in devotion to truth.

I bring to bear fully my deep heart energy, with a clear intention to be in and of service to the divine essence nature in you. I am honored to share the fruits of my experience while maintaining a fertile “beginner’s mind”, as I am always looking for new ways to grow through my own experience in your reflection.

As your guide and teacher, I act as a muse and a vessel for truth to pour through. I aim to nurture and create a safe space for you to be your true self, to be met and mirrored, to surrender with the unfolding, the tender soul’s blossoming, where I offer my authentic self, my wisdom, my teachings, transmissions and my heart to you.

I have trained in Temple Healing Arts for the past thirty+ years. My studies range ~ spanning from Shamanism, Yoga, Bodywork, Healing, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Magick, Communication and Tantra.

Through fusing ancient arts, we unwind, transcend, remember and transform using ritual, meditation, pranayama, mudras, eye-gazing, kundalini activation, soul-language-vibrations, mantras, truth inquiry, yoga asanas, academic studies, shamanic journeying and more!

The Tantrik tradition chooses to enjoy the divine play. The Tantrik sees embodiment as a manifestation of the divine and ecstasy as a path to enlightenment.

I am awake in the play. Queen Love is merely a role, as is Shivakti Shaktiva & Sharene Shamana Ma...

I have many names & many roles, what is yours?

Sharene is the creator of Temple of Bliss, Shivakti Tantra Yoga and the Founder of the Holy Love Institute of Tantra Yoga.

“Shall Time’s best jewel in Time’s chest lie hid – or who its’ beauty shall forbid?”

"Brand new to Tantra, I eagerly followed the directions. Words are nearly useless to describe the actual experience of deep inward gazing and awareness of breathing that felt more real than mere physical intimacy. Mantras that sent energy messages through my nervous system, chanting divine music that filled me, the room, and the cosmos... a hummingbird vibration awakened in the base of my spine that traversed its entire length up to my head, my mind melting into my body, while receiving transmissions of magical joy. But her words, chanted and spoken, awakened unknown feelings and connections culminated in a spontaneous release of emotional tears. I am a new devotee..." :Namaste, Max

I am available by telephone, for In-person Teachings over Tea, Private Couples Coaching, Shivakti Tantra Yoga group classes & education, Healing Retreats and I am hosting, teaching and orchestrating the 2024/25 Shivakti Tantra Yoga Teacher Trainings & Tantrik Workshops.

I offer you my heart, my home, my land, my soul, my wisdom and my medicine.

My life is devoted to 'Living devotionally embodied as a masterpiece of truth, grit, grace and beauty' while creating a living legacy for others to do the same. - Queen Love, Shivakti Shaktiva, Sharene Shamana Ma

"Beauty is to recognize how full of Love you are. Sensuality is to let some of that Love shine through your body. Instead of waiting for beauty to show up at your doorstep, create so much beauty within you that it will inevitably overflow in all directions."
