Justin Patrick Pierce & Londin Angel Winters

Sacred intimacy teachers and authors of Playing With Fire: The Spiritual Path of Intimate Relationship and The Awakened Woman’s Guide to Everlasting Love. Together since 2010, they guide couples worldwide through the Yoga of Intimacy, a body-based practice system for keeping desire alive across decades. Learn more about their approach.


What does sacred intimacy actually look like in modern life? Not as a concept. Not as something you read about or aspire to. As a daily practice between two real people with a child, a business, and all the pressures of an ordinary life.

In this conversation on Love and Liberation with Olivia Clementine, Justin Patrick Pierce and Londin Angel Winters walk through the lived practice of sacred intimacy as they experience it: not as teachers performing a role, but as partners who have spent over a decade developing, testing, and refining a body of work inside the crucible of their own relationship.

What This Conversation Covers

The episode opens with how the Yoga of Intimacy differs from common polarity teachings. Justin and Londin explain how their approach to Alpha and Omega moves beyond rigid masculine/feminine frameworks into something more fluid and responsive: what they call energetic agility. The ability to meet whatever the moment requires rather than performing a fixed role.

From there, the conversation moves into the body. Londin describes what it means to relate with unconditional love through physical sensation rather than through ideas about love. Justin explains how training the body and heart to be available to intimacy is a daily practice, not a weekend workshop.

They share a specific daily embodiment practice for deepening in unconditional love and intimacy: a simple practice that any couple can begin today. They also discuss the qualities of a healthy relationship, the challenge of becoming parents and the need to prioritize intimacy for the benefit of every other aspect of life, and the role of pleasure as a gateway for deep listening.

The final part of the conversation is personal. Justin shares his own journey into wanting a committed relationship and the homecoming he experienced through that choice. Londin speaks about what it means to share radiance without needing to earn love: being love and being freedom at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sacred intimacy?

Sacred intimacy is the practice of bringing full spiritual awareness, devotion, and presence into your intimate life. It recognizes sexuality as one of the most powerful doorways into expanded states of consciousness, deep relational bonding, and genuine awakening. Justin Patrick Pierce and Londin Angel Winters teach sacred intimacy as a daily, body-based practice through the Yoga of Intimacy.

What is energetic agility?

Energetic agility is the capacity to move between Alpha and Omega expression depending on what the moment calls for, rather than being locked into a fixed role. Justin and Londin teach that the most alive relationships involve both partners developing depth in both poles, with the natural polarity between them generating desire and connection.

How do you prioritize intimacy as parents?

Justin and Londin teach that intimacy is not something you add to your life after everything else is handled. It is the foundation that makes everything else work. When the intimate connection between partners is alive, parenting, work, and creative expression all benefit. When it goes cold, everything suffers. The Seven Scales provide a practical framework for understanding how desire operates across all seven dimensions of a couple’s life.

What daily practices can couples do to deepen intimacy?

The Yoga of Intimacy offers several foundational partner practices. The I See Practice cultivates deep, non-projecting presence: learning to truly see your partner as they are. The I Feel Practice develops the capacity to feel and be felt without defense. Both practices can be done in five to ten minutes and are described in detail in Playing With Fire. The Yoga of Intimacy Patreon community includes live monthly practice sessions where couples learn and refine these practices with Justin and Londin.
