TANTRA DEMYSTIFIED - REAL WORLD YOGA FOR EVERYONE

For long time I was wondering how to deepen my experience and knowledge of Tantra. This workshop with Swami Muktibodhananda was the key I was waiting for. Very clear explanations, conected with my everyday experience and simple yet poweful practices quit acessible to every one. Thanks to the organizers, to Swami Muktibodhananda and to the masters that inspire us! - Devamani

I found Swami Muktibodhananda's course to be very well researched and presented, and my understanding of Tantra grew greatly by attending. - D.M.

I am participating in this, 2 sessions in, it is such an eye opener!! Trauma in any of its many forms can destroy lives. Insights like this class are what are needed for us to all heal and live to our potential. Thank you Yogatara and Lisa LaDue!! - S. Joshi

Have you ever done a practice or attended a satsang where so much began to stir within? This workshop had the same effect. It was an essential primer on what makes us human and how we can recognize that in ourselves and others. Highly recommended for anyone interested in self-development and/or relating to others. - SCA

Because of having to maintain social distance during the COVID period it was possible to have courses online. Without this I would have never had the opportunity to participate to such an interesting course hosted by Yogatara. As the learning process is a never-ending process, I am thankful for this beautiful experience. - A.R

Offering a safe practice for our students to help heal the impact of trauma is one of the greatest gifts we can provide. In " What Every Yoga Instructor Needs to Know About Trauma"', Yogatara and Lisa provide up-to-date scientific knowledge about trauma and its impact on the human body, emotions, and spirit, in a clear understandable manner. Their heartfelt approach embodies the principles of presence that they are emphasizing as healing tools. Using lecture, discussion, and experiential practices, they share their years of personal experience, highlighting practical application of experiential wisdom. This excellent course informs the heart and the mind. It is appropriate for teachers at all levels of experience. - Cynthia Taylor, MD (Siddheswari)

I feel completely prepared and confident teaching others and have no regrets in my decision. I felt this was the best training and it sure delivered. – Sam Whitley

I enjoyed all the yoga nidra recordings of Swami Atmarupa and personally benefited a lot from the practices. I loved the referenced books, they were very interesting and of great help in understanding the subject. At the end, I will say that this course is very well planned, organized, easy to follow, and prepares a student carefully and thoroughly for teaching yoga nidra. - Neetika Dave

It helped me to understand deeper this yogic technique, to progress in my own practice, and experience the benefits.I hope that I will be able to share all that I have learned with those that will benefit from this great yogic technique, and that all this will be a solid base for my evolution. - Tamara Nistor

This is an extremely well planned and exhaustive course and I thoroughly enjoyed learning and training to be a Yoga Nidra teacher from Swami Atmarupa and Kapil Agrawal. The course takes the student progressively through the theory behind Yoga Nidra and home practice, followed by mentored teaching. During this extensive course I realized there is hardly anything esoteric about Yoga Nidra as it has complete scientific basis and the practice has proven very effective for my personal journey as well. I am ever grateful for this opportunity to learn it online and will now share the gifts of Yoga Nidra via teaching. Thank you. - Neeru
