Traditional Tantra Yoga (Eng)

By practicing tantra yoga we aim at achieving a state of meditation during and between the asanas. Students are guided through the class, but the teacher does not interfere with their experiences. Cueing and adjustments are mainly made verbally so everyone can listen to the own body and mind.

In this class we will practice sequences of a particular lineage (kaula tantra). 

- The core of this system is the so-called tridosha series which will be practiced in every class, a series that is mainly practiced on the back and that holds the asanas for 1-2 minutes, while relaxing (even though the muscles are slightly contracted). Students are encouraged to keep their eyes closed during the practice. This will allow them to not externalizing the experience and not be distracted by the external world. 

- There is a more dynamic series, -dand flow - (kind of sun salutations) and a standing series that will alternately be practiced once a month together with half of the tridosha series.

- Advanced students will be introduced to the pranayama and bandhas as they progress.

Benefits of tantra yoga:

• Balances your three doshas (Vata, Kapha, Pita) – like balancing your hormones
• The practice is slow and gentle
• Emphasizes on the pranic system (energy system)
• Enough time between the asanas allow body and mind to rest and relax
• Looks easy and not challenging at all, but as you practice from a state of relaxation, it is very powerful nevertheless
• It is suitable for beginners and more experienced asana practitioners alike
