The word TANTRA (tantric is an adjective which describes something coming from tantra) is made up of two words: TANOTI and TRAYATI. Tanoti means “to expand, to stretch, to extend”, while the word trayati means “to liberate or free”. Therefore Tantra (tan+tra) means to expand one’s experience and awareness of everything, to extend the frontiers of apprehension beyond the material, and hence to attain spiritual knowledge and liberation.
The series taught is the Tri Dosha Balancing series. Tri Dosha refers to the three doshas or gunas from Ayurveda. The three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—are derived from the five elements. Also known as mind-body types, the doshas express unique blends of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics. In Ayurveda, health is defined as the dynamic state of balance between mind, body, and environment. The regular practice of Tri Dosha balancing series aims to create balance and harmony between the body and mind and cultivate relaxation in everything that you do, both on and off the yoga mat.
It is a deeply meditative form of yoga that brings your focus and attention inwards and activates the energy centers in your body.
This type of yoga is deeply meditative and teaches the body that maximum results can be achieved when we completely relax our body and realise how much tension we hold unnecessarily without any benefit. For example squinting your eyes or perhaps clenching your jaw in order to see something better, using muscles to do the work of the nerves. These are processes that we are all guilty of doing and through the practice of this Tri Dosha Balancing series we aim to recognise these unnecessary actions become aware of them and then to just relax.
