What is Tantra Yoga?

Several thousand years old, Tantra Yoga is a wise synthesis of the traditions of Yoga. Tantra is the science of using the infinite forces of the Universe to transform ourselves in a spiritual way. In the tantric vision, all the conditions and events of our everyday lives are considered to be valuable tools for a spiritual evolution. Significantly, one of the acceptations of the word TANTRA is web.

While Tantra has existed since ancient times, it has recently begun to be recognized as the science of the future. Proof of its universality and practical efficiency have been strengthened rather than refuted by current thinking. The most advanced scientific discoveries of our days are closer and closer to the tantric vision of the Universe.

Tantra Yoga includes physical exercises, breathing methods, purifications, mental techniques and meditative practices, all of which lead to the physical and emotional balance of the human being, elevate consciousness, and gradually reveal the Spirit.

In the tantric discipline, the creative potential of sexual energy is taught to be controlled and sublimated. This leads to the profound and beneficial transformation of all aspects of the practitioner’s life.

The tantric techniques applied by a couple lead to a refined sensitivity and greater understanding of the relationship. The couple reaches a very deep spiritual experience, feeling together the oceanic happiness in its infinite nuances.

But the idea that Tantra equals sexual practices, while widely advertised in the West, cannot be further from the true spirit of this ancient science. Tantra embraces all aspects of life and offers methods that can be applied with great results by anybody, young or old, woman or man, single or living as a couple.

Tantra Yoga means to live simply, spontaneously and full of happiness, recognizing the same Spirit in everything that exists. Any human being can obtain benefits from practicing it.
