From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Muir is a tantra teacher described as "one of the originators of the modern tantra movement" in the United States.[1][2][3] He has taught tantra since the 1980s under the title "The Art of Conscious Loving". His first book was Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving (1989).[4] He developed the method "sacred spot massage".[5][6] In addition to Red Tantra practices ("sex is part of Tantra"),[7] Charles teaches a method of White Tantra ("sex is bad"),[7] which is the grandfather of Hatha Yoga, with extended holds, meditation, and chakra focus.[8] He has trained a few hundred Certified Tantric Educators (CTEs).[7]

He is Director of the Source School of Tantra Yoga and plans to retire in 2020, after his 4th and final "Meeting of the Masters" Thailand retreat, co-taught with Taoist Grandmaster Mantak Chia, at Tao Garden in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
