Fall in love with one of the most respected primary texts of the Tantra yoga philosophy: the Pratyabhijnahrdayam or “Heart of Recognition”.
We’ll study the main teachings of non-dual Tantra through this text. The focus is on liberating a current of awareness towards the Center/Heart; the main movement of Tantric thought. The practice will focus on meditation and HOW to expand the experience of the Heart into daily life.
We’ll learn:
• Tantric practices, such as meditation, contemplation, and moment-by-moment awareness/consciousness of our patterns of action and thought in daily life.
• to apply the teachings to our practice of postural yoga and to the experience of life in general.
