What to bring: Wear a bathing suit covered in loose fitting clothes, layered in case the weather changes, a towel to dry off with, a towel or blanket to sit on, and warm tea or warm temperature water to drink. Do not drink cold water before, during, or directly after this class.
A basic practice (either a simple tapas or a layered sadhana) is performed each day for three weeks, with a video guideline posted to the students before the three week practice begins. Every three weks, a new practice is undertaken. Tao practices with the students Monday through Friday, providing guidance as necessary. Each practice begins with self-immersion in the ocean shallows, then kriyas, pranayama, or suryanamaskar, followed by the core practice of the week for 30 minutes or more, then ending with movement of the body and relaxation of the mind..
These practices include: Physical exercises, visualizations, breathing exercises, kinesthetic exercises, mantra, yantra, tantric hatha, kriya, laya yogas, qigong, sexology, vyayam, and more, all taught in bite-sized pieces. You will be shown how everything fits together... how all the practices form one Tantra.
Bring a sincere desire to learn, to strive, to joyfully stretch your experiences while learning to manipulate your physical and subtle bodies. Spirituality, love, health, psyche, and sexuality are discussed frankly, and sexual energy is a part of the practice, but there are no overt sexual acts in our classes or workshops. As with any practice involving physical exercises and deep breathing, get a clean bill of health from your physician, and your physician's recommendations before beginning.
