UNITY with Tantra & Hatha

Tantra Yoga is a type of yoga that employs various techniques to study the universe through the human microcosm. It seeks to balance human instincts and focus on chakras, or energy centers in the body.

Tantra is a type of yoga that weaves together many different techniques, such as mantra meditation, visualization, mudras, pranayama and initiation to study the inner-universe through our human body.

Understanding the techniques and goals of tantra yoga is important as hatha yoga originated from this system of yoga, and tantra provides a context for the individual practices and techniques of hatha yoga.

Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga primarily concerned with mastery of the body and mind. The term is derived from the Sanskrit ha, meaning sun, and tha, meaning moon,leading to the common interpretation that Hatha practices are designed to unite and balance these two energies.

However, the literal translation of Hatha is force, alluding to the physical techniques used within this tradition.

Traditionally, Hatha yoga offered a total life philosophy, incorporating how we relate to external and internal experience as a path to inner peace.Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation.

The emphasis of this course is not to have a holiday or retreat experience. It requires a disciplined and intentional commitment to daily learning and application. 

The daily yogic practice entails alignment with sunrise and sunset.

We bring in the yogic aspects of ceremony, meditation and mantra.

Physical practices for cleansing and well-being. And enriched philosophy and the art of teaching. 

Our focus in this training as your teaching guides is to support you to do the great work of yoga.

Our course is structured to progressively teach you yogic living, to attune your body with sunrise and sunset and states of consciousness. 

The idea is to strip ourselves back and to learn in a simple natural environment.

In a traditional tantric approach we give reverence to the guidance of lineage of gurujis and the student - teacher relationship is highly revered and to be respected. 

​

This course is not modern/neo-tantra, as it respects traditional Tantric Hatha teachings of ancient texts, experiencing the essence of yoga, not the accumulation of information.
