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.

In this workshop you’ll learn about and experience the progression of Tantric principles and techniques––starting with accessible asanas, then build to bandhas and finally mudras––that by activating the body’s latent forces, lead us to ultimate freedom and exaltation.
