How decades of international study, embodied practice and holistic traditions shaped a unique methodology
Every authentic method has a story behind it.
The Goshtasbi Method was not created as a concept or a technique, but as the result of more than two decades of exploration, practice and integration of different approaches to body awareness, healing traditions and embodied consciousness.
Created by Romina Goshtasbi, the Goshtasbi Method is an integrated approach to Tantra, Somatic Bodywork and embodied practice, combining ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary understanding of the body, emotions and nervous system regulation.
Today, the Goshtasbi Method is the foundation connecting the different projects of the Joy Of Tantra ecosystem, including Joy Of Tantra Academy, Joy Of Tantra Yoga and Joy Of Tantra Retreats.
From exploration to methodology: the birth of the Goshtasbi Method
The creation of the Goshtasbi Method began through a personal and professional journey of deep exploration into different holistic traditions and body-based practices.
Over the years, Romina Goshtasbi studied and integrated approaches originating from India, Japan, China, Hawaiʻi and European holistic traditions.
These studies included:
Tantra and embodied spiritual practices.
Somatic Bodywork and body awareness approaches.
Reiki and energetic practices.
Tao philosophy and energy cultivation.
Conscious movement.
Breathwork.
Meditation.
Mantras and mudras.
Inner Child healing approaches.
Nervous system regulation practices.
Conscious touch and therapeutic bodywork.
Rather than combining techniques randomly, the Goshtasbi Method emerged as an integrated framework where each practice supports a deeper understanding of the relationship between body, awareness, emotions and energy.
What is the Goshtasbi Method?
The Goshtasbi Method is an integrated approach to Tantra & Somatic Bodywork designed to support embodiment, presence and a deeper connection with the body.
At its foundation is the understanding that the body is not separate from our emotional experiences, memories, sensations and inner world.
Through conscious touch, movement, breath, meditation and awareness practices, the method creates a pathway toward greater body intelligence and self-connection.
The Goshtasbi Method works with the body as a living system where physical sensations, emotional experiences and nervous system responses are interconnected.
Tantra and Somatic Bodywork: two foundations of embodied transformation
The Goshtasbi Method brings together two essential perspectives:
Tantra: the path of presence and embodiment
Within this methodology, Tantra is approached as a practice of awareness, connection and conscious embodiment.
Rather than being limited to one interpretation, Tantra is explored as a way of developing presence through breath, meditation, energy awareness and a deeper relationship with the body.
Somatic Bodywork: listening to the intelligence of the body
Somatic Bodywork provides a contemporary understanding of how the body communicates through sensations, movement patterns and nervous system responses.
Through somatic awareness, individuals can develop a more conscious relationship with their bodies and explore new possibilities for regulation, relaxation and embodiment.
Together, Tantra and Somatic Bodywork create the foundation of an integrated approach that connects ancient wisdom with contemporary body-based practices.
The importance of nervous system regulation in embodied practice
A central aspect of the Goshtasbi Method is understanding the relationship between embodiment and the nervous system.
Modern life often creates patterns of stress, disconnection and constant stimulation. Learning to regulate the nervous system can support greater presence, relaxation and awareness.
The Goshtasbi Method incorporates practices such as:
Conscious breathing.
Breathwork.
Meditation.
Movement.
Body awareness.
Conscious touch.
These practices support the development of a deeper connection between the physical body, emotions and inner experience.
Beyond techniques: creating an integrated experience
The Goshtasbi Method is not defined by a single technique.
Its essence is the integration of different practices into a coherent experience.
A session or practice within this methodology may include elements of:
Somatic Bodywork.
Tantra.
Reiki.
Tao-inspired practices.
Conscious movement.
Breathwork.
Meditation.
Energy awareness.
Each element contributes to a larger vision: supporting individuals in developing a more conscious relationship with themselves.
The Goshtasbi Method and the Joy Of Tantra ecosystem
