Episode notes

Henika is the founder of the School of Sensual Arts which invites you to uplift blocks to deeper sensuality and intimacy so that you can experience more connection, aliveness and joy in yourself, your relationships and your life! She does this by creating experiences, community and education based on authentic tantra and yoga philosophy along with a unique blend of art and psychology to offer expression to all the unspoken parts of ourselves which long to be known, heard and accepted.

Henika is a first generation Indian Woman born in England and grew up in a household abundant in the ancient Indian arts and spirituality, with an ex-monk turned artist father. After studying English and French law and experiencing numbness and depression following a series of losses, she left the corporate world and returned to her roots where she spent several years living and studying tools for deeper connection in Asia, learning from incredible guides in India and the Far East.

Upon returning to England, she began her studies in arts therapy and clinical psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and now combines tantra and yoga with western therapeutic guidelines to create safe spaces for transforming numbness and turning the body back online through Tantra Yoga, bodywork, embodiment and art. As an indigenous practitioner, she is also a thought leader on the topic of cultural appropriation of tantra and yoga and provides education on driving more cultural appreciation in the wellness world through her workshops, programmes and social media. Her book SENSUAL will be available for preorder from 29th February 2024!
