Charles Muir is considered the originator and Pioneer of the Modern Tantra Movement in the United States. In 1980, he originated the Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving® format, Sacred Spot Massage, and many other inventive experiential exercises, which have become the cornerstones in the curriculum of most Tantra educators. In addition to Red Tantra practices, Charles teaches a powerful method of White Tantra, or Laya Yoga, which is the grandfather of Hatha Yoga, with extended holds, meditation, and chakra focus. Its gentle-on-the-body approach is relaxing and revitalizing, and awakens consciousness quickly.
Charles has authored two Tantra books, two Tantra Training DVDs, three White Tantra CDs, and five Red Tantra CDs. His work has been featured in over fifty media articles, numerous radio and television appearances (most recently on Oprah), and two Hollywood feature movies, Bliss and The Best Ever. He is currently working on several new books in his Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving series; the newest is Sacred Sexual Awakenings, which is a comprehensive compilation of over five hundred testimonials and case histories of lives transformed through attending his seminars.

Caroline began teaching with Charles in 1984. She has served as Vice President of Source School of Tantra Yoga and is currently Senior Female Staff Educator at Source School of Tantra Yoga. Married to Charles from 1987 to 2002, she continues to teach with him happily-even-after their divorce. Their thirty years of friendship continues to be the foundation of their relationship. This loving friendship is also an inspiration to others who change the form of their relationships, choose to keep the love, and let go of what no longer serves them.
In 2004, Caroline founded the Divine Feminine-Awakened Masculine Institute, an educational organization that brings nurturing, awakening, and healing modalities to men and women. She is currently devoting this phase of her life to educating people as to the content and extent of the feminine in conjunction with compassionate communication skills and spiritual psychology. Caroline continues a limited schedule of co-facilitating the popular Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving seminars with Charles Muir, her healer, beloved, and friend. She facilitates workshops and trainings with the Divine Feminine Institute (a 501c3 nonprofit), as she writes the story of her life and emergence through Tantra Yoga and the grace of the feminine. Queen of Hearts: Memoirs of a Sexual Pioneer, will be published in the coming year.
