Welcome yourself to a one hour Tune-up massage ($60), 1½ hour full body Kundalini Healing session ($90), or a 2 hour Integrative Pink Tantric treatment ($120) given on a large massage table with DAC 5.1 Marantz Analog Surround Sound played for your enjoyment and relaxation. Individual yoga classes are taught for Tantric Kundalini students. I only do in calls from 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM. I am now located in Loring Park, downtown Minneapolis in a professional suite on Harmon Place across from the park. My massage style integrates dialog (teaching), pleasurable bodywork (touch), and creative body expression (movement) for melting blockages and stagnation. Pink Tantra is quite unique with the use of vibrational tools. My web site is detailed and very informative with pictures. http://bodyworklarry.com

I have worked with a diverse clientele throughout the United States, bringing over 34 years of experience in teaching exercise, 30 years in Eastern and Western bodywork and massage, and 17 years in process body-centered therapy to you. My ability to blend structural bodywork with energy work is unique. Kundalini mastery is a powerful skill that I pass on to you. Over the years, I have eclectically integrated the best healing modalities into my newest work called, "Pink Tantra;" a process of awakening the Chakras, and proliferating health and vitality.
I have been a Kundalini practitioner since 1976, initiated in West Hollywood at the Buddha Tree. In New York City, I began my study and practice of Hatha yoga in 1978, as the direct student of Swami Bua Ji Maharaj M.H.Y. former director, Department of Yoga Health, Government of India, who is still alive and over 100 years old. I moved to Minnesota in 1990, where I joined the staff of The Marsh in Minnetonka teaching yoga classes and giving massage treatments. Since the early 90's, my practice has evolved from giving structurally based medical spa treatments to therapeutic Kundalini Tantric sessions.

Philosophy and Comments
Tantra is about embracing all of life and taking the middle path. It doesn't advocate hedonistic indulgence that depletes the life force, nor is it about living an unrealistic saint-like existence that doesn't include things like lower chakras and bodily function. The serpent (snake) represents movement of the spine and Kundalini energy. In the Holy Bible, 'The Revelation Of Saint John The Divine' speaks about the tree of life, the seven spirits of God, and the opening of the seven seals. Tantra connects you with your body, a way of feeling ‘The Holy Spirit.’ The mantra or voice of Tantra comes from above and below. Our work together is about loosening muscles, releasing fascia, and freeing the body of pain and stiffness.
It is common in the West to equate Tantra with sex, but in actuality it is a spiritual science more concerned with individual consciousness than copulation. The act of climbing ‘Jacob‘s Ladder’ with my help is an adventure and an inward bound experience. Kundalini Shaktipat is a self-perfecting spiritual practice, in which the Kundalini power causes an initiate to perform kriyas (automatic movements) like pelvic thrusting and spinal waving through the power of Kundalini itself. You just relax and allow, while I help you move the energy; one's duty is only to surrender and feel pleasure. Today, most people who study Tantra have an abundance of sealed energy. The goal of the work is to release and open the Chakra system; thereby, clearing the way for a healthier body.
