Tantra: The Opening of a New Frontier of YogaThe very core of Tantra is balance and integration. This is the legacy left behind by the great masters Krishna, Buddha, Patanjali, Goraknatha, and Milarepa. We are the lucky custodians of their Tantric wisdom, which represents the full range of yoga. But today, many of us practice yoga in fragments. Come learn how to bring back the ancient model of Tantra by nurturing yoga and reconnecting it with its Tantric roots.
