Testimonials from participants:
On EVOLUTIONARY EROS Private Sessions:
Dear Kevin,
I have been peaceful since our work. Tingling, a glow. I don't know that there are many words.. not yet. I was open to receiving something last night and I did and I was blessed.
I was surprised at the level of ecstacy that my body felt as I was holding and being held by you as I was caressed by you. It was sexual yet it was not. Doors were opening, on all the levels that we had talked about. It was about caring and being cared about. Physical and spiritual. You must have a lot of trust in yourself.
I feel happy and I am eager for our next time together.
Warmly and aglow,
Alphonse

Hi Kevin,
I have learned from you, about moving out and moving within. One of your nicest gifts to me has been your gentleness. Thank you for being present with me. I am sure that I will have more to say ahead, but this is an inner and more silent time. Healing, I suspect.

On NAKED YOGA FOR MEN Classes:
Thank you for a WONDERFUL class last night and for the instruction. I thought that was one of the best yoga classes I have ever been to. It was fun and challenging and I felt like I got a nice workout and pushed myself a little. Loved it! The class really does make a difference in my life right now, so I'm very happy to be there... a blessing is a really good word for it!

I have been enjoying your class immensely. I can't
tell you how happy I am to have had my first
introduction to yoga with someone as kind, gentle,
holistic, in tune, perceptive, sexy, beautiful and
intelligent as you. Thank you.
You've piqued my curiousity in yoga. Of course now
I'm totally spoiled. I can imagine how wonderful it would be to work
with you one-on-one. Your perceptive listening, lovingly challenging
and gentle guiding is important to me.
It has been wonderful to watch you shine. To me, what
you do appears to be in harmony with who you are,
which is fantastic. I'm being open to a new direction
in life right now, and as a result perhaps I'm just
projecting how I'd like to be onto how you appear to
be. In any case, I've drawn inspiration from you, and
I thank you for that."
Namaste,
Suedwind

I just wanted to let you know, how much I'm enjoying the opportunity to
benefit from the knowledge that you're sharing with us. I'm kind of hobbled by
shyness (other than that part about, you know, getting naked with a bunch of
strangers) so I don't express it well in person, but I'm happy and grateful to
have found someone who is so very good at making real beginners feel like they
actually might be able to do this stuff. I'm impatient with myself and so I
wish that I could be better at it already; you must see some comical moves out
there at times. But I also know that I'm already feeling better on several
levels, and I want to do and to know more. I'm sure that's a lifelong journey,
and I'm going to do my best to develop the discipline to practice and make the
most of it. Anyhow, it is something that I look forward to all week long!
And I'm sure I'm not the only one."

On PARTNERING:
There were more than a few of those positions that I could spend a lot of time in, just being there and feeling the other person. I can't think of another time in my life where I get to do that in a non-threatening way where there is also a charge of electricity and sexual energy...it's uniquely thrilling and calming at the same time. Thank you for being such a great introduction to all of this... I'm hoping that I can do this for a long, long time!

The partnering has been both fun and a little nerve-racking! By that I mean,
initially the first thoughts were "I gotta touch this stranger? Well, may as
well give it a try...". Later it was more like "I wonder what will it be this
week, and will it be more intimate than last time or not?" I suppose some hope
so and some don't - as I'm sure you've noticed, we are a bunch of shy, reserved
Minnesotans, after all. But I think we're making progress as we go along, too.
For me, those first thoughts are quickly overcome by "I sure hope he
demonstrates it, because I'm never gonna remember all those steps!". And of
course you do guide us through it, it's not that hard after all, and every time
I'm left with the feeling that I've tried something new and that it was quite
enjoyable. There have been times when it'd be great to just let go and enjoy
the sensual feelings, but I guess I'm just not there yet; I've heard your
suggestions to stop and be aware of and enjoy the feelings, and I have, but so
far I've chosen more of a self-control route, as have my partners. The good
thing is that it's clear that there is no wrong choice.
I like how the exercises are thoughtfully designed to allow the participants to
either really get into it or to maintain a bit of space if they're more
comfortable that way. The exception was that time when one partner was in
corpse pose and the other was moving above him and then settling onto his legs
- that was pretty much full-contact, and took some courage at first. And of
course it turned out to be very nice, although I think at least half of it was
the feeling of the head resting on the chest. I'm amazed at the number of
exercises you seem to have to choose from, and the anticipation of what will be
next is part of the fun. I'm also left with the impression that the actual
Tantric Yoga class must be exhilarating and amazingly freeing.
I guess these are rather random impressions, most of which you are probably
aware of already, so I hope they're helpful. Oh, I also meant to say that it's
good that you mention that the level of participation is each person's choice;
I get so involved in trying to "do it right" that I don't really look around
much, but I don't think that anyone has refused to even try it so far, have
they? Anyway, I feel that you strike a very good balance of challenging us
with something new and at the same time respecting our choices and comfort
level.
