What is Tantra?
Tantra is the path of realising the Truth through the heart, which is consciously opened to everyone and everything. It is an invitation to awaken now and to live life in full awareness, to enjoy its amazing intensity and experience ecstatic happiness and freedom in the midst of daily life.
It is a path suited to those who wish to live a full and meaningful life, to realise their highest potential, and to celebrate the ‘here and now’. Tantra embraces all aspects of life consciously and courageously, with the tools and wisdom to realise that life, whether ‘pleasant’ or ‘unpleasant’, is our greatest teacher and ally.
Tantra shows us that the keys to living consciously and ecstatically are:
- To stay calm, lucid and centred, even when life is whirling all around.
- To see sacredness in ordinary situations, bringing a greater meaning to life.
- To say YES to both the joys and the challenges that life brings.
- To turn everyday situations into an opportunity for expansion towards our highest spiritual potential.
Perfection can easily be achieved through a complete, controlled satisfaction of the desires in full awareness.
Why ‘Esoteric’?
The word ‘esoteric’ comes from the Greek esoterikos, meaning ‘within’. Esotericism underlines the discovery of the inner reality and the contemplation of the true nature of the Self. While this course places an emphasis on living in the intensity of life, the work is done on the inside, and the experience of life becomes a means to know oneself better.
The esoteric path points to the connection between everything that exists and to a direct, experiential way of knowing — while avoiding dogmatic or discursive explanations.
What makes our Esoteric Tantra Yoga course special?
This course offers a systematic and in-depth curriculum, through which the mysteries of Tantra are revealed one by one. Tara is the home of Tantra — we offer the only ongoing, weekly Tantra course in the UK.
Highly efficient and sacred techniques and knowledge are explained in a down-to-earth way, having been translated from their ancient roots — so the rich knowledge and life-changing methods of Tantra are accessible to today’s practitioner.
The teachings are supported by contemporary science, without diluting their timeless essence. Through practice, amazing results can be achieved, and the notions can be verified through your own direct experience.
All aspects of life are addressed, from health, wealth, family and relationships, to the ultimate Supreme Realisation of the Self. This course is the fast track to discovering the wonderful reality of the world — and your place within it.
All our teachers are highly experienced, with at least seven years of practice and study before becoming a teacher. They are open and approachable for personal help and guidance.
