Your body will most likely become much more flexible by doing yoga, and so will your mind. The awareness that we cultivate is what makes yoga a practice, rather than a task or a goal to be completed. We become more aware of our experiences from moment to moment. Through this process of inward attention, we learn to recognize our habitual thought patterns without labeling them, judging them, or trying to change them. Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us to direct our attention inward. Even within the physical practice, yoga is unique because we connect the movement of the body and the fluctuations of the mind to the rhythm of our breath. Patanjali’s eight-fold path illustrates how the physical practice is just one aspect of yoga. Unlike stretching or fitness, yoga is more than just physical postures. How is yoga different from stretching or other kinds of fitness? Today most people practicing yoga are engaged in the third limb, asana (also known as Hatha Yoga), which is a program of physical postures designed to purify the body and provide the physical strength and stamina required for long periods of meditation. As we explore these eight limbs, we begin by refining our behavior in the outer world, and then we focus inwardly until we reach samadhi (liberation, enlightenment). It also outlines eight limbs of yoga: the yamas (restraints), niyamas(observances), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), dharana(concentration), dhyani (meditation), and samadhi (absorption). The Sutra is a collection of 195 statements that serves as a philosophical guidebook for most of the yoga that is practiced today. The Indian sage Patanjali is believed to have collated the practice of yoga into the Yoga Sutra an estimated 2,000 years ago. A male who practices yoga is called a yogi, a female practitioner, a yogini. The word yoga, from the Sanskrit word yuj means to yoke or bind and is often interpreted as “union” or a method of discipline. In our private, group classes will learn to slowly come to accept the beauty and power of the human body.Reprinted with permission from We offer a women’s only Nude Yoga Class available to those practitioners wanting to deepen their spiritual practice. The practice of Tantra does not truly begin until one has first learned to love and accept their body with out judgement and shame. We have been taught to believe that our bodies are something impure and shameful. For many individuals the thought of their body without clothing is something they fear and avoid looking at and coming to peace with. Here at Tha Nude Guru Tantra & Yoga, we believe that the human body is a vehicle to the divine. That is the greatest sacrifice and the great Yoga.“ ~ Avadhuta Upanishad Through all-consuming, correct knowledge (the Avadhuta) performs Ashvamedha sacrifice within (himself). For them there is nothing righteous or unrighteous nothing holy or unholy. “ His (the Avadhuta’s) worldly existence consists in moving about freely, with or without clothes. If you have felt a calling to practice Tantra, we can lead you to the light. Yoga, Kundalini, Pranayama & Meditation are Tantric tools used to unblock Chakras and raise the individuals vibration so as to connect with God. Though most believe Tantra to be about Sex, Tantra is a spiritual practice first with an aim to unite the Masculine and Feminine in perfect balance and harmony, so as to bring about healing in both the woman and man.
Thou art the Original of all the manifestations Thou art the birthplace of even Us Thou knowest the whole world, yet none know Thee “~ Mahanirvana Tantra
O gracious One ! whatever there is in this world, of things which have and are without motion, from Mahat to an atom, owes its origin to and is dependent on Thee. Thou art the only Para Prakriti of the Supreme Soul Brahman, and from Thee has sprung the whole Universe – O Shiva – its Mother. “Listen, O Thou of high fortune and destiny, to the reasons why Thou shouldst be worshipped, and how thereby the individual becomes united with the Brahman.
