“The mixture was perfect, and it felt like a dance between parallel universes. I can’t imagine one without the other.”

From collective to spiritual, this 300-hour yoga teacher training is designed as a deepening journey beyond the foundational 200 hours. In the first part of the course, you learn to teach the Kaula Tantra Yoga Session in a basic form, while exploring its effects and the shifts it creates within you. This is a highly personal process. As you continue into the additional 100 hours required for the 300-hour certificate, the practice begins to settle more deeply into your system. You may notice greater ease in everyday life, a stronger sense of awareness, and a clearer understanding of how emotions are formed and how choices shape the reality you experience.

The training also supports you in recognizing and softening personal patterns that may be limiting your ability to live fully. Through shared practice with other students, you begin to see the wider effects of the work beyond your own experience. Many of the challenges encountered on the path can reveal themselves as social patterns shaped from childhood, and this more detached perspective can help reduce their power. As a teacher, this also offers a more holistic understanding of students as whole beings.

A deeper emphasis is placed on ritual and on the symbolic language of the Tantra yoga path. To truly integrate new practices, they need to be repeated at least 21 times, which is why the Kaula Tantra Yoga Sequence is practiced daily throughout the training. With more time, you can also deepen mantra singing, chakra kundalini techniques, ritual creation, and Durga’s Tiger Dance, making it easier to carry these practices into daily life.

About Tantra

Tantra is presented here as an ancient and complex vision of the cosmos, with roots in Indian traditions dating back as far as 5,000 years. Its sacred texts are said to come from divine sources and are often expressed as dialogue between Shiva and Shakti. The word tantra itself refers to a network or woven fabric, reflecting the idea that everything in existence is interconnected and part of one reality.

Within the tantric tradition, two main lines are described: the right-hand path, associated with meditation, austerity, and devotion; and the left-hand path, which includes psychophysical practices such as pranayama, bandhas, mudras, asanas, and Maithuna. Both share many elements, and both offer tools for expansion and liberation. In this training, these teachings are explored as part of a path that includes sexuality as a sacred force, while also honoring the deeper meaning of happiness, consciousness, and divine union.

The course also touches on tantric genesis, the relationship between Shiva and Shakti, and the symbolic understanding of feminine and masculine energies as complementary forces. Throughout, the teaching emphasizes that Tantra is not a religion, institution, dogma, or church, but a path that can adapt to any belief system and open the door to a higher state of consciousness.
