What is the relationship between the International School of Tantra and Alegraluz Tantra International?
Tantra training and Tantra Touch workshops are the responsibility of the International School of Tantra. Alegraluz Tantra International is responsible for conducting Tantra and Tantric Massage sessions world wide. The two organisations share the same vision and offices.
What kind of Tantra is taught at the International School of Tantra?
Tantra is packaged by ISOT as a self development course for both men
and women. What we do is more on the red than white Tantra side. We do not advocate bliss as a state of being. We stand for a restful / alert state of living a fulfilled life. It is a special road for people who want to re-discover who they really are, free from impressions of the past and the future. If you can't tell your partner about enquiring about Tantra, then perhaps you are not ready.
How do you work with qualified Tantric Massage Therapists who have their existing practices.
We start with a general discussion about our conditions (that we do not do happy endings, that we do not sell sex and that the massage lasts a minimum of three hours). After that we discuss how we can proceed in order to achieve a win-win situation for both parties. Mostly we agree on receiving a referral fee on booked clients.
I am interested in a session with you but I would like to receive some training during the Tantric massage. Can you incorporate that?
Tantra has as aim the personal enlightenment of people. This is a very scary concept as we get to face our own greatness. To dabble or play with Tantra is not advised. Many people get stuck in bliss and it represents the same symptoms as burn-out or bore-out.
Our own training in Tantric Massage took many years and in some parts of India the training lasts up to 20 years.
We at the International School of Tantra have a training programme that lasts a minimum of four weeks.
We suggest you try the various other Tantra training providers in your area should you want to take short cuts.
Who can attend a workshop, or take The International School of Tantra training course?
Our training is open to all. Men, Women and Couples. Including same sex couples. People from religious orders and of all race types. Anyone who sincerely seeks to discover his or her own truth.
What does it take to become a Professional Tantric Massage Therapist?
To be registered with ISOT you first have to register as a student. Then you have to do a seven day workshop with us, you have to do a one week Professional Tantric Massage skills course, you have to do a one week anatomy and massage (another type) course, you have to do a one week business course, write a thesis and sit for the exam. Some parts can be shortened if you are qualified in massage and currently running your own massage business.
How do you calculate the cost of a Tantric Massage and of a Professional Tantric Massage Training Course? The cost of a Tantric Massage is double the price of a one hour massage in an upmarket hotel in a city where you want to work. Because a Tantric Massage lasts a minimum of two hours it is therefore doubled again. The cost of a Professional Tantric Massage Training Course is calculated as to 20 Tantric Massages in your area. The fee structure we have right now is based on an average massage fee in cosmopolitan centres throughout the world.
Why do you mention: "Previous experience in Tantra required", on the 7 and 14 day workshops?
The International School of Tantra Training is open to all adults. Previous experience indicate to us that you have learned some proper breathing techniques and that you are comfortable in using your mind for what it is meant for and not to rule your life. However, without previous experience you are still welcome to attend a workshop. In the first instance you can attend the first 2 days of a 7 or 14 day workshop. Then on completion of these 2 days we reserve the right to decide if you can carry on or not. This preserves the integrity of the tuition for both you and the other participants and it allows you to evaluate if you are ready for Tantra. In the event that you can't complete a full 7 day course, you will have completed a 2 day course, at which point you will have gained a better insight on how to move forward.
Who attends The International School of Tantra workshops?
The International School of Tantra training and workshops are open to all, men woman and couples. Our courses are attended by many beautiful people. Many of them will become your life long friends or even a life partner.
How many hours of workshop time during a workshop?
The 7 day workshop lasts around 85 hours. On average a workshop day lasts between 12 and 16 hours, which includes meal times and breaks. We therefore suggest that you arrive the previous evening before the start of the workshop.
What is The International School of Tantra stand about male ejaculation?
We do not do ejaculations, happy endings or hands relief. It is a waste of time, money and energy. We do want the client to be orgasmic, multi-orgasmic that is. We do want male clients to have as many orgasms as their female partners. Orgasm is not linked to ejaculation. With ejaculation the clients are back on their old paths. We desire for them to experience a guilt free, invigorating experience that will last the rest of their lives.
What can I expect from working for The International School of Tantra?
We seldom employ anyone. We do not make promises of wealth and prosperity within the Tantra industry, except to say that we have more work than we can possibly handle. We are able to forward many client enquiries from many parts of the world, leads that are generated through our websites.
Once you have an interest to be part of ISOT or Alegraluz Tantra International, then we suggest that you take your time, ask many questions and perhaps start training with us in Spain.
We do not want anyone to depend on us for their income within the Tantra industry. We want students to open their own centres, something we train them for. We do have a professional business attitude within ISOT and the goal is to train students to be fully equipped to do financially well, within a short time after completing their studies.

Are you in the personal development field?
The International School of Tantra and our Tantric Massage Therapists see themselves as highly trained professionals in the personal re-discovery field. When we were born we had it all. Many aspects of our being got lost through learning and assuming roles. The essence of who we are can be taken on once again. This is the field that ISOT therapists find themselves in.
What is the difference between your workshops and your courses?
The International School of Tantra workshops are open to everyone and the energy level of the group is taken into account on the direction and level the workshop will take on.
