It’s both a worldview/philosophy and a powerful system of methodologies and practices to help you embody the worldview. Tantra is the source of all Hatha Yoga techniques. The tantric approach to Yoga primarily focuses on the cultivation and masterful use of energy (prana) in all its forms. The great tantric visionaries understood that by controlling energy through various techniques including asana (postures), pranayama (breath), bandhas (energy locks), kriyas (techniques), mudras (seals), mantra (sacred words), and meditation, we can control our mind and ultimately master our own lives. In this module we will explore the key principles, philosophy, and practices of tantra to cultivate self-knowledge, inner power, and the integration of both spiritual and material prosperity. These incredible teachings and practices hold the secrets to thriving physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

It can be our greatest asset to living a meaningful, fulfilling, happy, and purposeful life if understood and used accordingly. It can also be our greatest challenge and demise if we do not comprehend how it works and how to use it. Like any other instrument, the mind has to be understood, tuned, and attended to if we want to utilise its higher faculties. The ancient Yogic Rishis understood that what stands between our soul and our experience of life is our mind. There is no way around it, so we must learn to use it with skill and great understanding. Around 2300 years ago, great Yogic Rishi Patanjali, wrote possibly the most profound scripture on Yoga and Psychology called, ‘The Yoga Sutra’. This text is compiled of 4 chapters and 196 ‘sutras’ or ‘verses’ on the obstacles of the mind, and practices and techniques to overcome them and attain the state of Yoga, or Samadhi. The practices are self-enquiry based as well as techniques of asana, pranayama and meditation. While the text is exceptionally detailed and maps out the entire territory of the mind, it is quite impenetrable and difficult to relate to for many students. Much of the text is written in code and the practices are not elaborated on, thus it is essential to follow the guidance of an experienced teacher to uncover these mysteries and practices to fully experience the potential of the profound teachings. In this module you will acquire a deeper and clear understanding of the mind and how to use it positively in all aspect of your life. You will gain invaluable knowledge of the teachings in the Sutra’s along with learning the secret, powerful, practices that are not found directly in the text. We will weave the powerful teachings of Tantra seamlessly with the wisdom and profound understanding of the Sutras to give you a practical, palatable, and transformational experience of this extraordinary scripture.

They saw these three aspects of our being as an integrated whole. Through deep introspection and experimentation, they developed a comprehensive system of techniques and practices that unlock the powers of our highest physical and mental potential that enables us to lead a fulfilling, healthy, and joyful life. This system is called Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a scientific, time tested methodology of techniques and practices that include physical postures (asanas), purification (shatkarma) and breathing practices (pranayama), energetic locks or seals (Bandha & Mudra), meditation, and mantra. The Science of systematic sequencing, (Vinyasa Krama) is the process of utilizing these powerful and effective techniques to achieve specific desired outcomes according to one’s own goals & needs ranging from physical & mental health to spiritual evolution and complete illumination. Essentially this module focuses on the integration of Ayurvedic principles with both Classical and Tantra Yoga. We will explore the energetic effects of the 6 different categories of postures (forward bends, twists etc), breathing techniques, meditation, and mantra. You’ll learn the skill, science, and art of systematic sequencing (vinyasa krama) i.e. the why and how of designing specific practices for specific purposes.

Yoga Nidra, or "The Fourth State", is a state of consciousness between waking and deep sleep. It’s a state of awareness where the body and sensory mind are completely relaxed, and the yogi becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner conscious realm by following a specific set of verbal instructions. Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic approach to Yoga practice as therapy. The system utilizes the use of props including blankets, bolsters, blocks, and any other helpful item to support the body.
