A Canadian man has been expelled from Bali for offering an “orgasmic” yoga class after Indonesian authorities said he disrespected local traditions and values.

Christopher Kyle Martin was deported from Indonesia on Sunday after he promoted a “Tantric Full Body Orgasm” class online for 20 euros (US$24). The promotion went viral on Indonesia’s social media, irking some conservative groups.

“This activity potentially damages the reputation of Indonesia and Bali as a tourist destination, and is irrespectful of Bali’s customs,” Bali governor I Wayan Koster said on Sunday at a press briefing with Martin seated beside immigration officers.

“If you want to come back here, you have to respect Balinese custom,” the governor told him.
