What is Tantra?
Tantra offers the most comprehensive approach to yoga, methodically weaving the diverse techniques of asana, pranayama, meditation, contemplation and purposeful living into a dynamic and unified approach. Two core principles inform tantra's vision: one, life is inherently sacred and two, the right practice will help you expand beyond your limitations and see, most importantly, embody the sacred in your life. Rooted in ancient knowledge, Tantra Yoga Alchemy offers curriculum meticulously developed and refined over decades.
Tantra can be described as “the science of energy management; there is no energy in the world that is not in your body.” says Rod. “Master your body’s subtle forces, and you can be more masterful in the way you live. As a result, the stars no longer command you. You command the stars.”
The ancient tradition of Tantra maps the entire spectrum and sacred journey of Hatha Yoga. According to its teachings, asana–when approached systematically–is a gateway to unlock the profound potential of practice.
In this immersive workshop/training we journey into the foundations for practicing and teaching Tantra Yoga, focusing on three of the most vital principles that illumine tantra’s unique contribution to yoga practice. Throughout our days together we will study and experience the unique methods related each of these three themes:
STAGE 1 | MOON, SUN, FIRE
Mind, Energy and Spirit. Depending on your intention, the way you practice should change. Learning how and when to modify your practice and apply specific techniques of hatha is key to ensuring that your practice meets your needs –essential to achieve lasting happiness and success.
STAGE 2 | TANTRA AND GUNA
Understanding ourselves in light of the Gunas — the three essential attributes or qualities of the natural world — may well be the yogic tradition’s most essential teaching on mastering both our inner and outer universe. Learn how different approaches influence these subtle attributes and how we use this knowledge to fulfill individual (or group) needs, unfold higher potentials and achieve the promise of practice.
STAGE 3 | PRANA SHAKTI
Prana (lifeforce) is the great mover, animating all physiological and mental activity. From the view of tantra, a vital intention of yoga practice is to ensure that we shape prana so that it helps us consistently move in a positive, life-affirming direction — supporting our growth and evolution. Integrating the core teachings of Yoga and Tantra, you will deepen your connection to life-force while exploring the principles that connect you to prana, through asana, pranayama and meditation for healing, balance and personal evolution.
