Workshop| Ayurveda meets Tantra Yoga: Doshas Harmony Asana Series

Dive into the world of Kaula Tantra,or Nondual Shaiva Tantra, an ancient spiritual movement originating in northern India that flourished from the 9th to the 12th centuries. At its core, Kaula Tantra emphasizes a direct connection to a divine reality, encompassing both transcendent and immanent aspects, personified as Shiva and Shakti respectively. This profound tradition also embraces initiation into a guru-disciple relationship and fosters an egalitarian kula, a spiritual community based on equality.

In our upcoming event, immerse yourself in the transformative experience of the Three Doshas Balancing Series, a meticulously crafted asana meditative sequence. This unique practice is designed to harmonize the three doshas—fundamental components of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical tradition rooted in the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (knowledge). Ayurveda, deeply intertwined with yoga, operates on the principle of interconnectedness between the body and mind.

Through a slow and deliberate asana practice, this sequence invites you to cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness. Delve into the elemental makeup of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha,the 3 doshas or vital energy forces within us, crucial for optimal health. With each posture, tune into the sensations arising in your body, fostering acceptance and appreciation for your unique divine vessel. Join us as we embark on a holistic journey, embracing the union of body, mind, and spirit in harmony with the principles of Kaula Tantra and Ayurveda.
