The world is full of masks and illusions — so how do we keep our hearts open without being devoured?In this episode, Rina explores the fine line between innocence and naïveté, and how true vulnerability is never about blind surrender. She unpacks the danger of being “too trusting” — recalling Professor William McMorran’s study of Marquis de Sade, who deliberately preyed on the naïve. But just as destructive is the opposite extreme: becoming so cynical and guarded that no one ever gets close.Rina invites you into the art of sacred innocence — a way of opening fully without being exploited, of trusting without losing discernment, of risking intimacy without becoming someone’s prey.Rina is a shibari artist, tantric bodyworker, former Dominatrix, and extreme sports athlete, learner of ancient traditions and intrepid explorer of consciousness.

Originating from Cape Town, South Africa, my spiritual 'quest' for truth and meaning has taken me across the globe. Over the last two decades, I've had the privilege of instructing a variety of students worldwide, guiding them through advanced Hatha Yoga practices, particularly focused on Kuṇḍalinī, and delving into the intricacies of non-dual Śaiva Tantra, also known as Kashmiri Shaivism.For over a decade, I served as a senior teacher at Agama Yoga, a prominent yoga school in Thailand. However, I chose to part ways with the school following allegations of sexual misconduct against its founder. Since then, I have devoted myself to creating my own system of teachings, blending the profound wisdom of ancient traditions with my creative and artistic expression. My aim is to guide a modern generation of seekers toward truth, beauty, and fulfillment.As an avid learner drawn to authentic wellsprings of wisdom, I've delved into the profound teachings of tantric masters in India under the guidance of the esteemed scholar and meditation teacher Paul Muller Ortega, through his tantric meditation school, Blue Throat Yoga. Additionally, I've pursued personal studies through the writings, lectures and online courses of eminent scholars like Mark Dyczkowski. My journey has also involved several years of Sanskrit study with Dr. Antonia Ruppel through the YogicStudies online platform.Get Access to Rina’s Free meditations, Workshops, Shibari tutorials and morehttps://www.subscribepage.com/free-workshops-libraryIf you enjoy this episode, leave a 5-star rating and review the podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify or send a DM to me on Instagram
