Let this book change your life

This is a book to savor, because the more the exercises sink in, the better life gets. I applaud the author on this work, because this compilation of techniques stretches over different practices (kundalini yoga, tai chi, tantra) to make one delicious way to approach every day. Read with an open mind, ready for good things to happen. This book has improved my life spiritually, emotionally, and sexually. I can't say enough good things about this book.

This is a really great book on Tantra!!

But it's also a great book on sex positive feminism and I think that this is why this book is worth getting. So few Tantra books are so all encompassing or vivid with information welcoming to all sexualities including lesbian and other queer people and identities. I would also strongly suggest this as a first book on sexuality for teenagers as well.

Breathe in the Ecstasy

Sex, like most anything else, can be infinitely improved with a little specialized know how. And Barbara Carrellas is just the woman to explain the finer points of how to have fabulous, fiery, erotic, exciting, orgasmic, meaningful, intimate, imaginative, sensual, soothing, serious, silly, satisfying, sacred, and spiritually transformative sex. Don't miss this chance to learn from a master.

Exquisite

Have you ever picked up a book on Tantra, started to read it and say "oh no this is too complex I could never do this" I did many years ago and have since not found a book on Tantra or the practices that I could not easily work into my day to day life... well Not anymore! Barbara is a genious and in creating "Urban Tantra" has given us the most 'user friendly' book on Tantra ever written. I have read and begun to put the practices she suggests in her book easily and effortlessly into my day to day life with wonderful results of feeling more ecstatic and alive. If you want to feel more ecstatic and alive buy this book today! Thank you Barbara!

Urban Tantra is a must have for men and women! Rock it!

If you have already read some of my reviews, you know my favorite books feel like best friends and "Urban Tantra" rates as an excellent "bf" and a must have for anyone, what ever your sexual orientation is! If you want to raise your sexual IQ and ecstasy, do empowering exercises -- one that uses rocking -- which is a favorite, than rock it and read it. Barbara is so open, honest and fun. I loved Annie Sprinkle's "Spectacular Sex" and Annie writes the forward to this book and the women and the books compliment each other well. This book is great for couples and for "singles" because you can do the "home work" alone too which is important and some topics may not be your "thing" but you will get some great breathing excercises, imagining and understanding out of this terrific read! I recommend this book highly and also doing the exercises for better sexual health, pleasure and empowerment. Like Annie and Nina Hartley, Barbara recommends affirmations and I agree and need to do so much more affirming work. I am carrying this book around with me everywhere and I recommend you do too!
