Note that the three Sexological Bodywork Trainings described below differ slightly in content, course schedules, and teaching methods. There is more emphasis on somatic practice in the Australian and Swiss trainings. Those two trainings also require supervised practice sessions for certification. The California course does not require supervised practice sessions.
This program trains and certifies somatic sex educators. Although we use genital touch to educate, Sexological Bodywork is not some form of massage therapy. We are certified sexologists. This curriculum both includes and expands upon the original California-approved course of studies.

The entire Sexological Bodywork Training is available online as
The Yoga of Sex. This home study format invites you to experience how humans learn sex. Profound embodied learning takes place when we repeat a practice mindfully over time. Erotic practice is fun, rewarding and transformational when we use this conscious, focused yoga model of education. The new profession of Sexological Bodywork is based on exactly this type of learning.
Students who enroll in the Yoga of Sex receive a $200 scholarship towards the professional certification tuition in Australia, San Francisco or Switzerland.
