Namaste and welcome! Dakini Temple is an urban sanctuary and teaching collective dedicated to traditional tantra yoga for modern life. We offer tantra yoga workshops, retreats, private instruction, and special events on an ongoing basis. Individuals, couples, and small groups receive ample attention in our comfortable, private San Francisco urban temple.

We hold the intention of making these precious teachings and gatherings consistently accessible, affordable, and relevant for our modern existence. We contribute to an ecstatic, harmonious, yogic, sustainable, and healthy culture. The teachings are non-dogmatic and extremely personalized. Students are empowered to choose the level of dedication to the practice based on individual intentions and needs.

Dakini Temple facilitators have collectively gathered knowledge and experience from a multitude of traditions including Tibetan Buddhism, Kasmir Shaivism, the Sri-Vidya, hatha yoga, earth-based shamanism, and sacred Temple dance traditions of India and the Middle-East, among others. We strive to share inspired, potent, and authentic transmissions of ancient wisdom that enrich and refine life now.

The urban sanctuary is located in San Francisco, California. The address is given out when you make reservations for an event. The space is intentionally private to accommodate a deeper level of teaching, healing, community connection, and celebration. Specific workshops, events, or retreats are sometimes held off-site at special locations.

Dakini Temple facilitators are also available to travel worldwide for sponsored teachings events and consultations for individuals and groups in private homes, yoga studios, retreat centers, and resorts. Please inquire for details.

The word tantra has many colorful connotations in the West. Though authentic tantra yoga brings yogic awareness into ALL areas of human life including relationships, intimacy, and passionate energy, these are only a few aspects of a much broader path. The teachings offered here are appropriate for novice level practitioners, beneficial to seasoned practitioners, and suitable for the public in general. The public teachings are non-explicit. All practices are always completely optional, as we intend to provide a safe, playful, and grounded practice space.

In line with the tantric way of celebrating the senses and artistic expression within yogic awareness, music, food, and art are all vital elements of the vision for Dakini Temple. Gourmet organic, vegan, and whole-food refreshments are always served. Guest artists and performers are often featured at special events and gatherings. The sanctuary also serves as a visionary gallery with rotating fine art shows.

Dakini Temple is committed to sustainable green business practices, as harmony between culture and nature is integral to the yogic path.

Explore the site, visit the calendar to view and register for open workshops, fill out the contact form to request private yoga instruction or counsel, and please join our email list to receive our event invitations and special offers. 

We highly encourage ongoing participation, community connection, and dedicated personal practice over a long period of time to truly experience the greatest benefit, yet occasional or single visits are always welcome.

May All Beings Everywhere Be Unconditionally Happy & Free!
