Modern yoga derives from an ancient Tantrik tradition, which taught Yoga as the means to experience divinity within yourself and in the world. In India, Tantra permeated both the Hindu and Buddhist traditions and gave rise to the philosophy and practices found in such traditions as Hatha Yoga, Kashmir Shaivism, and Vajrayana Buddhism (which later traveled to Tibet).
Tantra, which means a loom, is based on alchemical principles that the base metals of our existence can be transformed into the gold of health, happiness, and wisdom. Join Scott and Chandra for an embodied exploration of the practices of Tantrik Yoga, weaving together the powerful practices of yoga asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, and meditation with tantrik philosophy to bring about transformation of body, mind, and spirit.
