About us
Sonia Sung
Welcome, I’m Sonia.
My heartfelt mission is to offer you a safe and sacred space where you can reconnect with your truth, wisdom, and personal power, just as I have on my own unexpected journey through Tantra.
I was born into a traditional Chinese family where emotions were often unspoken and sexuality remained a taboo topic. When I moved to the UK in 1991, a new chapter began. It was here that my spiritual path unfolded, eventually leading me to become a Tantra and Qi Gong teacher.
A pivotal moment came in 2010, when I met my teacher, Jewels Wingfield. Through her, I discovered the profound healing that happens within a circle of kindred spirits. I learnt about the deep value of sisterhood, the art of self-parenting, and the transformative journey of menopause.
Menopause became a catalyst for inner transformation, a turning point that called me to pause, reflect, and explore. My journey took me back to Asia, where I met my partner Alexander, who introduced me to John Hawken. John’s devotion to his work and his depth of wisdom made my training truly life-changing. Through Tantra, I found the missing piece of my life’s puzzle.
Tantric and Taoist practices became a gateway to true intimacy, not from the mind, but through the body. I began to question how I had been resisting pleasure, and why. I came to see pleasure not as indulgence, but as a profound source of power, and it was time to reclaim it.
Today, my passion is to share these teachings with those ready to explore the wisdom of their bodies and the truth of their being. I do not position myself as a teacher with all the answers, but as a guide and space holder for your unique journey.
Having experienced both deep suffering and profound transformation, it brings me joy and purpose to support others on their path, to help illuminate the past and make space for your own awakening and empowerment.
If you’re ready to reclaim your wholeness and walk your path with authenticity and courage, I would be honoured to walk beside you.

Welcome , I’m Alexander.
My life’s journey has been one of profound transformation, one that has taken me from early illness and emotional disconnection to deep embodiment and spiritual awakening. Today, I guide others seeking to reconnect with their own inner wisdom through the practices of Tantra and Qi Gong.
After surviving a serious illness in early childhood, I felt not only my own vulnerability but also the helplessness of those around me. This experience planted the seed of a deep trust in the innate intelligence of the body, something I would later come to understand as a guiding force.
Following a degree in Business Studies and the death of my father, I moved to Vienna, where I trained in martial arts for a decade under Sensei Fujinaga. Earning my 2nd Dan, I had achieved a level of external discipline and control. Yet I came to realise that, rather than opening me to the world, I was building armour to protect myself from it, even from myself.
This awareness led me into six years of psychoanalysis. While the experience taught me a great deal about the mind and the ‘psyche’, it remained largely intellectual. I could analyse and articulate my emotions, but I still couldn’t fully embody or live them. I was, as I like to say, learning to speak but not yet learning to walk.
Outwardly, I was successful, winning Austria’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 1998. But inwardly, I was battling depression, numbing myself with alcohol, and feeling lost. My sexuality felt mechanical, disconnected from any true sense of self. I had no real idea who I was.
Everything changed in 2010, when I experienced Tantra for the first time. I took part in a year-long SkyDancing training in Switzerland with Aman Schröter, co-teacher and co-creator of Margot Anand’s SkyDancing Tantra. This was the turning point. I began to feel compassion for my past emotional wounds and started to trust my body as a compass, one that pointed me towards truth, presence, and authenticity.
From there, my path deepened. I became a Holistic Dance teacher, completed a yoga teacher training in India, studied Group Dynamics for two years, became an NLP Master Practitioner, and participated in the Hoffman Process. I also explored the energetic body through mediumship sessions with Julia Assante.
When I met John Hawken in 2017, something clicked. His teachings resonated so deeply that the missing pieces of my inner puzzle began falling into place. My heart stirred from a long sleep, my energy began to flow, and I knew I had found a teacher who could guide me further. I committed fully to his teachings, diving into everything he had to offer.
During the Covid period, I discovered Qi Gong, and began practising daily. My years of experience in martial arts, yoga, dance, and Tantra suddenly integrated with clarity and purpose. Qi Gong became the thread that wove everything together. It is now a central pillar of my life and teaching, and I became a certified Qi Gong teacher in 2025.
Today, I teach and practise Tantra and Qi Gong, both individually and alongside my partner, Sonia Sung, in Vienna, London, and Thailand. I offer group workshops and individual sessions, supporting others to awaken, embody, and live their truth.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your body, reclaim your power, and walk a path of transformation, I invite you to join me.
