Workshop: Embodiment, yoga and tantra

In this workshop we explore the appearance of embodiment and somatics in the yogic and tantric traditions.

The workshop will help you to understand the connection of yogic methods to the worldview they are based on and gives you tools to deeper perception through experiencing.

We will go through the following themes:

• What does embodiment in yoga mean?
• What are the goals of the yogic somatic practices?
• Why does yoga need tantra by its side when talking about embodiment?
• What are the cornerstones of traditional tantra?
• What does leaning on to these traditions mean for your practice?
• What can we learn from modern bodymind techniques?

The workshop will not require previous knowledge about yoga philosophy, but it is recommended that you have practiced yoga before in some form.

Workshop includes:

• A lecture (1-1,5 hours)
• A yoga practice that uses yogic and tantric embodied techniques and gives you own experience of the themes covered during the lecture (2 hours)
• Tantric meditation (0,5 hours)

We will have a short break after the lecture that can be used for free conversation and questions about the theme.
