Tantra Yoga Asana // An introduction to Tantrik Yoga // Workshop // Newcastle

Are you ready to experience a unique and profound style of yoga?

Tantra yoga āsana is an integrated style of practice that incorporates postures (āsana), breathing (prāṇāyāma), and mediation (dhyāna) into the one experience. This is an accessible āsana practice that lays the foundation for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual transformation.

Join us for the journey

During this two-and-a-half-hour workshop you will be introduced to a deeply relaxing and regenerative āsana practice. You will discover what it feels like to practice yoga as a spiritualist, not a gymnast…

This introductory workshop is oriented towards beginners, no experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to bring your own mat AND a yoga strap (or equivalent) to this class.

What will you experience?

Here's what to expect:

• An accessible asana practice that is suitable for all shapes, sizes and levels of experience.
• A deeply relaxing series of postures that are aligned with the Tattvas, not some gymnastic idea of physical perfection.
• An integrated practice that incorporates postures (āsana), breathing (prāṇāyāma), and mediation (dhyāna) into the one experience.
• An opportunity to release deep-rooted anxiety, provide profound rest to the body and expand your capacity for peace.
• A practice that provides an internal foundation for letting go of that which no longer serves you.
• A process that can help lead a more balanced, more blissful, more open, more conscious and less fearful existence.
• A transformation of your perception to experience the subtle beauty in all of life.

Are you ready to deepen your yoga practice?

This class is perfect for you if:

• The gymnastic styles of yoga don't suit you and you're looking for a more subtle āsana practice that's more like yin.
• You feel intimidated by most yoga classes and you're looking for an inclusive experience that is suitable for everyone.
• You're looking for something to help you manage stress, anxiety, depression or overwhelm.
• You've reached a plateau with other types of āsana and you're searching for a sustainable, transformative experience that goes beyond the physical.
• The one-hour yoga class at your local studio always feels rushed to you and you want the opportunity to relax, let go and really surrender to your practice.
• You're ready to take your yoga practice to a deeper level.
• You want to experience a higher octave of what's possible through yoga āsana.
• You're curious about Tantra, but you're not sure where to start. Or, you thought Tantra was all about sex (it isn't).

What others have to say about their experience with Yolanda

'I benefited greatly from Yolanda’s Tantra Yoga ‘remarkable' classes. Although the poses were quite simple, they had a surprisingly profound and healing effect. I have been to countless Yoga classes, but was struck by how open my body felt after Yolanda’s class and what a profound sense of wellbeing and relaxation it left me with. One often hears of how the Yoga that is taught in America is a recently evolved creation, and it was truly a pleasure and very informative to be guided through an āsana series that was authentic to the original traditions. Most importantly, through the classes and her knowledge of prāṇāyāma, I have come to a profoundly different understanding of breathing, which has been good for my overall wellbeing, and more concretely, very beneficial to my day to day health. I have been chronically plagued by colds and respiratory problems, but these issues have been greatly alleviated since my classes with Yolanda.' Quarry

'I found Yolanda's Tantra Yoga classes very suitable for an older person who had not previously practised Yoga. Her clear instruction and guidance made attaining the impossible possible. I found a Yogic breathing exercise that Yolanda taught me, practised in the early morning, energised me for the whole day. A very pleasant and beneficial experience.' Judy
