Tantra Yoga

Tantra yoga is a type of yoga that employs various rituals to study the universe through the human microcosm. From the Sanskrit “leading principle” or “woven together,” Tantra yoga seeks to balance - not renounce - human instincts in an attempt to reach enlightenment. Tantra's rituals encourage its participants to build up kundalini energy in the top chakras so it “spills from the top.” Some common Tantra yoga rituals include: 1. Asanas 2. Meditation 3. Breathing exercises 4. Mantras 5. Mudras 6. Physical and ritual cleaning 7. Visualization of deities 8. Yantras
