What You’ll Experience:
We share techniques to safely connect with the immense Kundalini energy that is lying dormant in us all.
Kundalini is a central concept in Tantra Yoga. It refers to a dormant spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the spine, often symbolised as a coiled serpent. This energy is called Shakti, the divine feminine force behind creation and transformation.
In Kundalini and Tantra Yoga, the purpose is to awaken this energy and guide it upward through the body’s energy centres, known as chakras. As it rises, Kundalini brings about spiritual awakening, deep personal growth, and ultimately self-realisation or liberation.
Kundalini is:
Tantra Yoga offers practical techniques to gently awaken and support the flow of Kundalini energy, such as:
These tools help prepare the body and mind, allowing the energy to move safely and naturally through the chakra system.
Physical: Improved energy, vitality, and overall health
Mental: Greater focus, emotional stability, and peace of mind
Spiritual: Deeper awareness, intuition, and a sense of connection with the divine
Transformational: Healing of past trauma, release of limiting patterns, and personal growth
This path is open to all levels, not just experienced yogis. Kundalini Tantra Yoga is a holistic system that integrates the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life. You can move at your own pace and explore the practices in a way that feels right for you.
That said, because Kundalini awakening can be a powerful experience, it’s best approached with the support of an experienced teacher or guide.
Kundalini Tantra Yoga is often misunderstood. It is not solely about sexuality or ritual. It is a complete and profound spiritual path that includes breathwork, meditation, sound therapy, and self-inquiry, aiming to lead you toward higher consciousness and inner liberation.
Yoga was primarily focussed on meditation and a life of renunciation until the Tantrics developed physical methods to support the practice. The Tantrics built on what the Rishis discovered (the pioneers of yoga who dedicated their lives to spiritual development) and made it mainstream by creating techniques that could be used by everyday people without the time to dedicate their entire lives to yoga or the desire to cut themselves off from the rest of society. This is one of several reasons why Tantra is especially relevant for modern day teachers.
Originally, tantra and yoga were not divided and before this there was not even a name for such practitioners but it has come to be something distinct. The key difference is that instead of ideals of many yogis who remove themselves from the world only to remain in ashrams or high up the Himalayas, where understanding is sought through abstinence; tantrics seek to understand through experience.
Desires are a part of life and not something we need hide away from. However, there is a difference between experiencing it with full awareness and mindless intoxicating oneself and thus we need to learn to liberate ourselves from the mind and body and return as pure consciousness.
This does require periods of withdrawal as it is much easier to be fully aware when life is simple – which is why yogis choose this life but there’s no need to remain here.
This falls back to our aims of helping people re-enter the world through a new understanding of themselves and life around it. Tantra is not only about being fully present but also about understanding the underlying energy structures at play so you can create and adjust them to your needs. There are degrees of depth to these practices but you only need go as far as you need at this particular place in your life journey.
Almost all the predominantly physical yoga “styles” popular in the west today have their roots in Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga focussed on the physical aspects of tantra and enhanced them further producing the highest understanding of purifying and maintaining the body, as well as increasing our understanding of the connection between body and mind.
Yoga is a great example of a word that had an original meaning but has taken on many others in people’s minds. If it kept its original meaning we would not need to complicate things further than simply using this word which means to unite. That is to unite the two sides of life; Shiva and Shakti, consciousness and energy, static and dynamic, feminine and masculine.
This two sided reality displays itself in many ways through all dimensions of life, particularly the 3 dimensions (physical, mental and spiritual) or 5 koshas (layers of self).
