Yoga Foundations for Transformation


This event is open to mixed Genders

Workshop Description:
Whether you are completely new to Yoga, or a long time practitioner of specific yoga practices, you need a strong understanding of the full system of Yoga to gain maximum benefits. A foundation of understanding is Key to sustained growth and transformation.

No matter which Yoga style you feel drawn to initially, they are all designed to take you to the same goal: Complete Peace of Mind through intimate Self Knowledge. But what does that really mean? What is "Enlightenment" or "Self-Realization"? How can Yoga help you end suffering and invite deeper peace? How do Yoga postures relate to spirituality? All these questions are best answered in context to the larger picture of Yoga.

This specially priced, One day introductory event explores Yoga as a Spiritual Science, designed to meet you where you are, assist you in harmonizing the body, mind and spirit, and lead you to the final goal of joy and peace. Through the course of the day, we will work with traditional yoga techniques, such as Postures, breathing practices and meditation, as well as movement, guided meditation, self-reflective journaling and group, partnered and individual exercises to deepen your understanding of Yoga and how it can benefit you and your life.

We will start by exploring the ultimate goal of Yoga and then follow the "Eight limbs" of Classical Yoga to better understand the process. From there we will introduce other major Yoga paths, such as Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana yoga, and Kundalini Yoga to better understand how they can work together and what functions they serve as practices.

We will then discover how they relate to the path of Tantra Yoga. We will learn the 4 legitimate goals in life according to Tantra (Purpose, Wealth, Pleasure and Liberation), and how they relate to and support your practice.

By the end of the day, you will have experienced a wide variety of yogic practices, have a deeper understanding of Yoga\'s true goal, and have a simple, yet powerful meditation practice to take home with you to help calm the mind and prepare for deeper yogic practices such as Tantric Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga.

Whether you are new to yoga, or already practicing, this event will help lay or reinforce the strong foundation you need to get the most from your yoga and meditation practices.

Please dress in comfortable clothing you can move in and bring a yoga mat, towel, journal and pen or pencil with you.

Nothing is currently scheduled. Please check back.




Introduction to Tantra


Workshop Description:
Discover the ways that Tantra Yoga can empower your life, relationships, erotic nature, spiritual nature and your capacity for Love and bliss. Whether you are exploring as an individual or a couple, you will learn how the tools and practices of Tantra Yoga can unveil your most authentic and joyful Self, leading you to both personal empowerment and erotic wholeness.

Tantra's primary goal is to explore and balance the yin and yang, or the expressions of masculine and feminine principles within your own being so that you may experience the deepest Truth of your own Nature. It strives for energetic Wholeness and freedom as it works with tools to open the body, mind and awareness to experience increasing levels of joy, ecstasy and Love.

Tantra honors the body as Sacred and works with it to evolve and deepen your experience of your own Energetic nature. It works with tools such as conscious breathing, conscious touch, and meditation, as well as tools for deepening awareness of your own desires and habits. It invites you to explore your relationship to your body, creativity, sexuality, pleasure, erotic expression, life and your deeper Nature to empower you through Self awareness and conscious choice.

As you discover the principles of Tantra within your own Self, they begin to spill over into every aspect of your life. Tantra helps you break through self-limiting patterns, find energetic balance at all levels of your being and empowers you to live your most authentic and passionate expressions of joy, bliss, love and freedom.

This event will be a chance to learn more about Tantra and how it can benefit you in your life. There will be opportunities for questions as well as a brief group or partnered Tantric exercise.

You may apply the tuition for this Introductory event towards any Level One workshop which occurs within the following 60 days.

This introductory event is open to all individuals or couples, regardless of sexual orientation or spiritual background.

Tantra: Opening to Love


Workshop Description:
Prerequisites: Open to All experience levels. Although Intro to Tantra, Tantra Level One, Tantric Touch or basic yoga experience will be helpful.

Tantra: Opening to Love offers new experience and understanding to begin or deepen your personal Tantric spiritual practice and to more clearly perceive the Divine in all things. It enhances your energy awareness, and provides you with new tools to safely clear limitations and open to deeper levels of joy and bliss. You will learn to hold greater amounts of spiritual energy and stay more present to your Self, to life and to relationship.

Reviewing and building on the energy opening and centering practices provided in level one, the practices in Opening to Love offer transformational tools to deepen inner purification and assist with clearing stuck energy out of the body, mind and awareness. This purification brings an expanded connection to your deeper True nature.

We will also introduce Tantric devotional practices in the form of a simple Puja as a way of purifying awareness and more deeply connecting with the Divine within our Self and others. You will learn how to use this powerful practice as both an individual practitioner as well as in Divine Partnership.

During the workshop, we will explore the following topics and practices:

  • Expanded breathing practices to begin deeper purification and clearing
  • A powerful self healing energy awareness and clearing practice
  • Purifying the awareness of Karmic patterns and our energetic relationship to the world
  • Creating sacred space for practice
  • Creating an altar and the Tantric devotional art of Puja
  • Further exploration of Masculine and Feminine Principles and the qualities of the Divine Self
  • Deepening our awareness of the Divine in Self and others
  • Deepening individual and partner based practices.

As the day unfolds, we will explore and experience each practice, weaving it into a personal practice for you to take home. We will play with breath, movement, sound, and energy. We will deepen the learning experience through the use of self-reflective journaling and art, as well as group and partnered exercises and sharing.

This workshop is for individuals and couples who are seeking ways to enjoy greater pleasure and live a more fulfilling, connected life with the people and the world around them. It is open to people of all genders and sexual orientations.

FREE EVENT | Group Mantra Meditation: OM


Workshop Description:

All the past participants loved this experience and insisted it become a regular event!

Join us for a powerful evening of Group Mantra chanting with the Mantra "OM", sometimes spelled "AUM".

Here is what one recent participant had to say about the Group Mantra Meditation experience:

This was amazing! I had a great time. I've never been to a group meditation before or had too much experience with Mantra, so I was delighted by the energy experienced within the group and by the energy that built up from the mantra.” - Andrew Payne, Atlanta, GA

What is Mantra?
Mantra is the steady repetition of a particular word or phrase, which is used as an energetic bridge to take the practitioner into an expanded state of awareness and deeper meditation.

Mantra is one of the most powerful meditation techniques in the Tantra Yoga Traditions. It brings about increased focus and peace of mind. It also brings about high levels of healing energy, allowing the practice to be highly effective as a self-healing and transformational tool.

Why Group Mantra Meditation?
Group chanting magnifies the healing and transformational power for each individual and the group as a whole. It is also a chance to connect in community with like-minded people

The evening will be broken into two sections:

1) It is requested that all first time participants arrive by 7:00pm. At 7:00pm, there will be an introduction to the Practice of Mantra and the significance of the Mantra OM. You will also receive a hand-out outlining the material as well as the ways to take this home as a personal meditation practice. Previous attendees are also welcome to come and review the introduction or participate with a guest.

2) At 8:00pm, previous participants for the formal Group Mantra Meditation will begin to arrive and we will try to begin the experience no later than 8:10pm.

The Group Mantra Meditation will begin with a guided meditation to take you deeper into a relaxed state of body and mind. The group will then recite the Mantra OM the traditional 108 times. This will be followed by a brief period of silence and then a guided experience of deeper Tantric connection within the group. (approximately 45 minutes total)

After the meditation period there will be time for questions and sharing.

When we are officially concluded, people are welcome to greet and connect with other members of the group 30-60 minutes past the listed ending time.

Additional Event details
The location of this event will be in a private group workshop space near the intersection of Sheridan Road and Cheshire bridge road close to the I-85 exit at Cheshire Bridge.

This event is open to anyone regardless of previous Tantra Yoga or Yoga Experience. You are encouraged to invite and bring interested friends and family members.

No payment is required to attend, but a suggested Love Offering of $10-$20 per person would be appreciated to help cover the costs of the group space.

The ending time is approximate and may end sooner or later depending upon the flow of events and the number of questions.
