Esoteric Tantra Yoga

Yoga is an-encompassing system of self-improvement that aims at obtaining a healthy body and a strong, positive mind. Yoga teaches us how to control and elevate our emotions and reactions to life’s events. We learn to amplify all that is good in us and transform that which is limited or painful. The ultimate goal is to become aware of our unlimited potential and true divine identity.

​Because the title contains the word "esoteric", Esoteric Tantra Yoga is sometimes mistakenly thought to be a practice denouncing pleasure and seeking pain. That's entirely inaccurate, Esoteric yoga is simply the yoga of stillness. 
​
This course is designed to help you achieve your highest potential in every area of life through simple and effective yoga techniques, meditation and an integrative approach to health.

The course is a synthesis of various spiritual traditions. Ancient yogic techniques are adjusted to fit a modern lifestyle. Forms of yoga we study in our classes are Hatha yoga, Laya yoga, Raja yoga, Jnana yoga, Karma yoga, Tantra yoga and Bhakti yoga. Teachings are gradual, each lesson building upon the previous ones. The courses introduce you to:
​

• Yogic physical poses used as methods for strengthening the body, controlling the mind and elevating emotions
• Relaxation and breathing techniques for increased energy
• Detox methods for deep healing and rejuvenation
• Exercises for increasing mental focus and strength, intelligence and memory
• Meditation techniques for tranquility and increased awareness

This curriculum has been put together by MISA, our parent yoga school from Romania. Extensive hand-outs are provided for each class so that you can also practice the techniques at home and obtain quick results. You can attend the course for as many or few sessions as you feel necessary.

Each integrative yoga class contains:

• Warm-up exercises
• Hatha Yoga poses (asanas)
• Pranayama (breathing exercises)
• Mind focus techniques
• Meditation techniques
• Presentation of theoretical elements with practical applicability: the seven centers of force (chakras), nutrition, vegetarianism, the art of meditation, color therapy, sound therapy, the law of resonance and more.
