One who is awake sees the outer world as their own light. (SS3.8)

This is a rare opportunity for Yoga teachers to delve deeply into the Tantric philosophy of seeing the world from a fuller and richer perspective, both personally and professionally. Understanding life from the tantric perspective calms an agitated mind and opens the heart.

Study non-dual tantric philosophy in relation to Yoga practice and how to apply these powerful teachings to your classes and life.

Kundalini Awakening Intensive

Sunday November 13th 10am

Awaken to the inner energy that guides and activates higher knowledge, higher intuition, and higher creativity. Shaktipat is one of the cornerstones of The Ashram’s living lineage; the direct transmission of spiritual energy from teacher to student. This awakening has the power to transform your life and connect you with a current of grace that stretches all the way back to the Shaivite masters, and that is truly eternal.
