Tantra Yoga: Everything you need to know

Posted on July 7, 2022
tantra-yoga

Tantra Yoga is a modern version of ancient spiritual yoga practices. The Tantrics developed techniques that allow people to experience reality from one’s perspective of the entire cosmos. Tantra and yoga together see the body as tools to explore pleasure and delight.

In the beginning, yoga was focused on detaching from the pain and suffering within the physical body. Tantra instead discovers the value in being aware and enjoying our own body using our inner world energy. In other words, tantric yoga provides a place where both practices converge.

Key to Intimacy

Tantra yoga was introduced as one of the exotic sexual practices that strengthen and deepen intimacy and connection. The interest in knowing more about these practices began in the 1960s and early 1970s, when Tantra gained recognition as a yoga technique for improving sex.

Tantra uses sexual practices related to the classic ancient tantric techniques, where the energy of the body is used to achieve sexual union.

Goals of Tantra Yoga

Yogi and Tantra experts emphasize the experience this type of yoga provides. It allows people to cleanse the body and mind, so they can break the knots that are attach us to this physical existence.

Some other approaches, often called the left-hand paths, use unlawful and unethical practices, such as consuming alcohol, sex, and meat as tools to achieve transformation. They also involve a wide range of techniques that focus on using the body as a temple to adore the oneness of this sacred life.

Tantra enables people to experience the Divine firsthand and to taste the immensity of the cosmos. It is also capable of providing one with a smorgasbord of yogic techniques, which brings people into the state of ecstasy that broadens spiritual knowledge.
