To understand this we must break it down into its parts.
The word Tantra can be broken down into two syllables “tan” & “tra”
Tan, when it made its way into the English language became “ten” as in extend, this speaks to our capacity for expansion. Tra as a root syllable means to protect or shelter.
Bringing these two syllables together points toward a system of knowledge that allows us to expand in a way that is safe or protected. Tantra is a system for energy management & a profound worldview.

The next word is Hatha which points toward something that is forceful or requires some effort.
Hatha speaks to our use of techniques such as Asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra & kriya.
Hatha Yoga is the ancient Yogic system of awakening to our fullest potential & life’s purpose. The Ancient Indian Science of Self-Realization, that allows us to integrate all aspects of our being & achieve greatness in every aspect of life.

Finally Yoga, this means to yoke or connect.
Just as we would yoke a horse & cart, we yoke our limited mind & ego based self to the limitless potential found in the universal self.
Yoga is a state of awareness that is beyond all limitations & mental movements.
By definition it is a practice of unified embrace. A practice of relationship & context for all relationships. Union of the opposing Masculine & Feminine energies within the individual. It is the heart's practice that lights the path to equanimous & harmonious living. Our unique, intimate embrace of life itself.

So in bringing these three components together we arrive at a system of techniques & philosophies that allows for safe & controlled expansion, stillness of the mind & a truly purposeful life. Our intention is to provide an understanding of Yoga through felt experience, not just intellect alone. When we begin to embody our Yoga practice, we can share our experience with other’s in an authentic way & ultimately be of the highest service to our community.
