In this workshop, we will dig deeper into topics of mantra, guru, kuṇḍalinī, and the extraordinary non-dual view of reality preserved in the Śaiva Tantra of Kashmir.
The yoga we practice has roots in several Indian traditions, most prominently the late medieval Haṭha Yoga tradition, which grew out of the vast medieval traditions called Tantra. Understanding some of the belief systems and core practices of Tantra can help us to deepen our own practice towarda a rich and nourishing spiritual practice.
We will look at the most fertile period of yoga’s development in India, exploring how the physical and energetic focus of Haṭha Yoga grew out of the rich philosophical and experiential soil of Tantric ritual process. Topics include mantra, guru, kuṇḍalinī, and the extraordinary non-dual view of reality preserved in the Śaiva Tantra of Kashmir.
Experience in yoga āsana and meditation helpful, but precocious beginners welcome.
