About This Training

Tantra is an ancient wisdom tradition that stems from the lineage of the Himalayan Masters and Traditional Hatha Yogis who, through their Sadhana (practice), have kept the fires of the Teachings burning long before recorded history. Especially supportive in our modern times, Tantra offers reprieve from today’s problems and challenges as it helps free the mind with its thriving, sustainable worldview to evolve beyond our suffering.

This immersion helps you weave Tantra’s unique worldview into your life with its tools and practices into what is known as Tantric Hatha Yoga, and its three stages of practice: Moon, Sun and Fire. Rather than a linear path of growth, you are invited to experience how the Moon, Sun and Fire practices work together in unity for a holistic approach to overall progression on the path. Leaning into the sacred texts such as the Gheranda Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika, gain valuable tools serve your individual needs or the needs of your students. Unlock the potential of practice to healing on many levels, as well as experience direct realization of higher truths, awaken clear seeing, unlock the empowerment to personal, professional and spiritual excellence and unsurpassed joy.

Each class will build on the next in order to elevate your practice and understanding of the science of Yoga and Tantra. Practices are designed to enliven your connection to prana (life force). Dharma talks will help transform how you see the terrain of practice, yourself and your life. 

Practices will weave asana, mudra, kriya, marma chikitsa (therapy), pranayama, meditation, lecture and Q&A.

Led by Tanya Boigenzahn, a ERYT 500hr certified Tantric Hatha Yoga teacher, Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master and Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, and Thai Yoga Bodywork Teacher/Therapist, she brings not only her feminine and intuitive energy to this training, but also infuses the work with tips, tools, and holistic recommendations for you and your students.
