Annual six-module training in Gothenburg · September–April
The method
Tantric Pulsation is an embodied approach that combines conscious breathing, body awareness, movement, emotional exploration, energy work, meditation, dearmouring and elements of Tantra.
Rather than trying to understand everything intellectually, much of the exploration happens through direct experience of the body. You are not asked to believe anything in advance — you are invited to notice what actually happens when you breathe, move, rest and pay attention.
The breath is used as one of the central tools for increasing awareness of sensations, feelings, energy and patterns held in the body. Some of these patterns are subtle and easy to overlook in everyday life; slowing down and turning attention inward often makes them more noticeable.
The approach invites participants to become more present with what is already happening inside them, rather than trying to force a particular experience. Depending on the practice, the work can be quiet and subtle or more energetic and expressive.
The body as an entry point
Much of everyday life happens through thinking, analysing and interpreting. We explain ourselves to ourselves. Tantric Pulsation invites a different kind of attention — one that begins in the body and stays there a little longer than usual.
By directing attention toward the body, participants may become more aware of habitual patterns that are difficult to notice through thinking alone — how we hold our breath, brace, withdraw or push. This is exploration and self-study, not diagnosis or treatment.
The role of the breath
Conscious breathing is central to Tantric Pulsation. Different breathing patterns can create different experiences. Some practices are slow and calming. Others are deeper, fuller or more energetic and may increase bodily sensations, emotional awareness and the subjective experience of energy.
A direct line of exploration
breath → body → feelings → awareness
Breathing can influence our state, which makes it a practical way of exploring how these layers relate to each other. The intention is not simply to “breathe harder”, but to develop sensitivity to what happens inside the body while breathing.
Participants learn to listen to the body and adapt intensity rather than forcing themselves through an experience. Slowing down, pausing or softening is always a valid choice.
The name
The body naturally moves between different states. Nothing alive stays in one fixed condition for very long.
Tantric Pulsation explores this natural movement rather than seeking one constant state. Breath, body and energy can be experienced as having a rhythm or pulsation — sometimes flowing easily, sometimes not.
The practice invites participants to notice where movement feels free and where they may habitually hold, contract or control. This is described as it is experienced, rather than as a claim about established medical physiology.
Dearmouring
In this context, armouring refers to habitual patterns of muscular holding, protection or tension in the body. These patterns often develop for good reasons, and they can become so familiar that we barely notice them.
Dearmouring practices invite greater awareness into these areas through combinations of:
The intention is not to force tension to disappear. Instead, participants explore whether the body can gradually become more aware, responsive and relaxed — often in small steps rather than dramatic ones.
All touch-based practices involve consent, clear boundaries and participant choice. Dearmouring is an experiential practice; it is not presented as a way to remove trauma or cure medical conditions.
Emotions and expression
Many of us learn early on to control or suppress emotional expression. Within Tantric Pulsation, participants are invited to notice feelings through their bodily experience — where a feeling lives, how it moves, what it does to the breath.
The emphasis is on allowing awareness and expression without needing to judge or analyse every feeling. There is no requirement to have dramatic emotional experiences. Subtle experiences are equally valid, and a quiet session is not a failed one.
Energy
Energy is an important part of Tantric Pulsation. Here, “energy” is used primarily as an experiential term — a way of describing what people notice, not a scientific measurement.
Tantric Pulsation explores how breath, movement, attention and relaxation can affect these experiences. The training also works experientially with traditional concepts such as energy centres or chakras. These are presented as part of the Tantric framework and as a map for exploration, rather than as established medical anatomy.
Tantra
Tantra within Tantric Pulsation is much broader than sexuality.
Many people first meet the word Tantra in a sexual context. In this training, Tantra is approached as a way of relating to life through presence and embodiment. The training explores it through:
Sexual energy is one aspect of the training, but it is not the entire method. The emphasis is on developing greater awareness and presence rather than achieving a particular sexual experience.
Sexual energy
Tantric Pulsation includes exploration of sexual energy as one aspect of human vitality and embodied experience. The approach is quiet, respectful and grounded — closer to meditation than to performance.
Exercises in this area are always optional, framed clearly beforehand, and carried out with the same consent culture that runs through the whole training.
Ethics of the work
Some exercises involve working with another person and conscious touch. How this is done matters as much as what is done, so consent is practised explicitly rather than assumed.
No participant is ever expected to take part in a particular touch exercise against their wishes. Choosing to observe, to adapt an exercise, or to rest is always available and is treated as a legitimate part of the practice.
Presence
As the training progresses, participants explore not only their own processes but also how to be present with someone else while they are in theirs.
This is particularly relevant for participants interested in eventually facilitating breathwork, and it is also simply useful in friendship, partnership and everyday life.
In practice
A session or exercise may contain different combinations of the following elements:
Not every session contains all of these. The exact experience varies depending on the exercise, the module and the participant.
The training
The Tantric Pulsation Breathwork Training is an annual six-part training held in Gothenburg, Sweden.
A new Tantric Pulsation Breathwork Training starts every September in Gothenburg.
Each cycle continues through the autumn and winter season into spring, normally finishing around April. The six modules are weekends, spaced so that there is time to live with what each one opens up before the next one begins.
No commitment – we'll send you more information.

Current training cycle
These are the dates for the current cycle. The structure repeats each year with new dates. Each module is standalone, so you can join at any module during the year, depending on availability, and attend one or several modules. If you miss a module you can normally take it during the next year's cycle.
26–27 September 2026
24–25 October 2026
5–6 December 2026
30–31 January 2027
27–28 February 2027
3–4 April 2027
Flexibility
You can join the training at any module during the year and choose how far you want to go.
Each module stands on its own, so you are welcome to attend a single weekend, a few modules, or the complete six-module training. There is no requirement to start with Module 1.
Because the training repeats every year, you can also spread the full journey across different years. If you miss a module or want to take the training slowly, you can normally complete that module during the following year's cycle.
After completing all six modules, participants receive a diploma.
Rhythm of the year
The training begins every September and continues through autumn and winter into spring. Meeting repeatedly over approximately seven months gives the work time to settle.
The journey itself is part of the training. What happens between the weekends — in ordinary days, relationships and work — is often where the most interesting material appears.
Across six modules
Two pathways
The training can be taken entirely for personal exploration and development. You do not need any intention of becoming a facilitator. Many participants come simply because they want to know their own body, breath and patterns better.
The training also serves as preparation for people who want experience in:
The diploma confirms completion of this training. It is not a government-authorized or medically regulated professional qualification.
The group and teaching format
One distinctive quality of this training is that it is not held by one teacher alone. The main teaching team consists of Smrati Skog, Jarno Kinnunen and Peter Forsberg, supported by a number of trusted assistants.
The aim is a supportive, grounded and safety-conscious environment where people can move at their own pace.
Founder of Tantric Pulsation Breathwork Training
Smrati is one of Sweden's most experienced Tantra teachers and has been exploring and teaching Tantra for more than 30 years. She has spent many years in India and Europe immersed in Tantra, meditation and personal development, and brings extensive experience, intuition, vitality and depth to the training.
Breathwork & Tantra facilitator
Jarno came to this work through a different path. After many years as an entrepreneur in the roofing industry, his own journey led him increasingly into personal development, breathwork and Tantra. Today he facilitates workshops in breathwork and Tantra, combining strong energy and intuitive guidance with grounded presence, with a particular interest in energetic breathwork and the relationship between breath, body and energy.
Bodyworker & dearmouring facilitator
Peter is an experienced bodyworker and facilitator working with somatic coaching, body-based personal development and dearmouring. He has been engaged in personal development for approximately 15 years and facilitates workshops and retreats in breathwork, Tantra and dearmouring. His approach is characterized by a soft, grounded and stable presence.
Course material
Participants completing the training receive course material and a compendium that supports the modules and their own notes and integration between weekends.
Inspiration for the work includes writings within Tantra and body-oriented personal development, including authors such as Aneesha Dillon and Diana Richardson.
