Friday January 29, 9 am – 4:30 pm, All-Day Intensive - The Transformative Power of Tantra Gary Kraftsow & Rod Stryker & Pandit Rajmani Tigunait


An experiential workshop designed to explore the vast wisdom of kundalini, Tantra, yoga, and Sri Vidya traditions. We'll cover how to integrate Tantric traditions such as pranayama, mudras, bandhas, visualization, mantras, and herbs into your current yoga practice. We'll also explore how to master the forces of the first two chakras (muladhara and svadhisthana) that govern the forces of hunger, sleep, sex, and self-preservation-and how to reconnect with our own vast inner potential, atma shakti, also known as kundalini shakti. 


Saturday, January 30, 10:30am – 12:30pm - ParaYoga Vinyasa: Awakening the Fire

Fire practice, from the view of the ancient tradition, means activating the dormant forces in the spine. This inner fire, or shakti, is the force behind all spiritual experience. Learn the principles and techniques prescribed by the ancient teachings to access the sacred fire. Learn how doing accessible yet powerful asanas sequenced with bandhas leads to exaltation and illumination. 

Practice with introductory lecture.

Practice and lecture.
