What is Tantra? Kinky sex practices? Mystical secrecy? A direct path to liberation??
The goal of this twelve week series is to explore the foundations of Tibetan-Vajrayana (Tantric-Buddhism) in conjunction with a Vinyasa practice. The series will follow the format of the Medicine Buddha Sadhana, which is said to offer the keys to liberation for any yogi who undertakes its practice.
The Sadhana of the Medicine Buddha is an ancient practice, that utilizes Tantric meditation and ritual practices to reveal our inner Medicine Buddha. This is one of the rare Tantric practices open to any yogi, without need of Abisheka (empowerment by a Lama). The practice of the Medicine Buddha is said to achieve unfathomable merit, peace, and elightenment in this life.
By combining the Tantric practice of the Sadhana with the Hatha practice of Vinyasa, we will be elevating the Spirit, while purifying and strengthening the body. The consistent practice of Tantra and Hatha Yogas leads to a purer body and mind. We will be utilizing the teachings of Lama Zopa Rinpoche of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the long, rich tradition of Krishnamacharya’s Vinyasa Yoga.
Classes will be from 6-8pm, Tuesday evenings, beginning September 7.
