Temple of Loha | Somatic Intimacy Coaching & Tantra
Embodied Relationship Work with Josephine
Temple of Loha is the teaching and practice space of Josephine Lauer, a Somatic Intimacy Coach, Tantra Teacher, and Embodiment Guide in Chicago.
Josephine works with individuals and couples who want to deepen intimacy, strengthen relationships, expand their capacity for connection, and experience the body as a pathway to greater presence, pleasure, and aliveness.
Her approach integrates Somatics, contemporary Tantra, conscious communication, nervous system awareness, breathwork, movement, touch, embodiment, energy work, polarity, and relational practices into immersive experiences designed to be felt—not simply discussed.
This is not simply about talking about intimacy. It is about learning to experience yourself, your body, your desires, and your relationships differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Somatic Intimacy Coaching is an embodied approach to intimacy and relationship work that moves beyond conversation and into direct experience. Josephine uses somatic awareness, breath, movement, presence, attunement, and other body-based practices to help clients develop greater awareness of their emotions, sensations, desires, boundaries, and relational patterns. I coach individuals and couples using a Somatic approach; every session is different and unique, completely bespoke and attuned to where you are at in your journey of understanding Self and Others.
-
Tantra is a diverse set of spiritual and embodied traditions that explore consciousness, energy, relationship, and the integration of body with Spirit, a.k.a. the Divine, God. Josephine teaches Contemporary Tantra, a fusion of Neo-Tantra and non-dual Shaivism, teachings draw from traditional esoteric traditions as well as modern trauma-informed approaches of incorporating Somatics (polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation), with Shamanics and Sacred Sexuality, while emphasizing presence, awareness, embodiment, intimacy, and the capacity to experience life more fully, via our erotic aliveness. She specialized in building individuals and couples’ erotic capacity and erotic range, the fullness of one’s relationship to your sacred life force energy and how you choose to channel, cultivate, hone and share it.
-
No! Tantra encompasses far more than sexuality. In Josephine's work, Tantra is explored as a pathway into greater presence, embodiment, consciousness, intimacy, energy, relationship, and connection. Erotic exploration may be one dimension of the work, but it is not the entirety of Tantra.
