Over the course of more than 25 years, Dr. Lana Holstein and Dr. David Taylor have shared an intimate personal collaboration as husband and wife. But during that time, the two Yale Medical School graduates have also collaborated to build a body of work devoted to other couples.

Since the mid '90s, the two have worked to satisfy a need that has been increasingly obvious to the two: Put simply, a large number of couples have a great hunger for competent and professional guidance and counseling to improve their intimacy and their sexual relationship.

Together, Dr. Holstein and Dr. Taylor have developed a nationally acclaimed couples program to enhance intimacy and sexuality. Today, the husband-and-wife team presents Partners, Pleasure and Passion, exclusively at world-renowned Miraval Life in Balance in Tucson, Arizona. Their four-day retreat - taught to hundreds of couples over the past eight years - teaches couples how to reconnect to their "most significant other" and discover pathways to divine sex.

The couple brings extraordinary credentials to the task:

Dr. Holstein draws on more than 25 years of experience in the area of women's health and sexuality. She built a successful practice in sexuality counseling, then brought her expertise to a national audience through nationally syndicated newspaper columns, scholarly publications, national television and radio interviews, seminars and - in 2001 - through a nationally broadcast PBS television special.

Dr. Taylor's experience complements that focus on sexuality with his own decades of experience in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. In recent years, he has applied his practice of the revolutionary movement work of the Feldenkrais Method - of mindful movement therapy and physical rehabilitation - to the enhancement of a couple's sexuality.

At the Miraval retreats, couples study the seven essential dimensions of sexuality, find out how to create sexual electricity, and treat each other to sensual massages - all in the comfort of luxury accommodations. In the process, partners encounter pathways to reclaiming sexual enchantment and satisfaction that will last a lifetime. Join them in taking your intimacy to a higher level.

If you can't make it to the four-day retreat, take heart: in 2004, Drs. Holstein and Taylor released a best-selling book - Your Long Erotic Weekend: Four Days of Passion for a Lifetime of Magnificent Sex - which describes their successful program in detail, including its important exercises recorded by the doctors themselves on the companion CD.

New: Holstein & Taylor have added a new workshop for 2008, Real Relationships: The Power Potential of Partnership, Feb 12-15and July 14-17. This offers couples proven avenues to creating relationships of growth and adventure. You will learn the 5 stages of partnership, the fascinating brain and cardiac connections between mates, how to navigate through apparently conflicting needs, and the immeasurably rewarding practice of gifting. Intriguing exercises and homework assignments will bring the concepts to life and provide unique take-home tools.
