Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Joga
Ipsalu Tantra is a unique tantric path with a long tradition that offers full integrity, insightful practices and a consistent 4-step system. It combines ancient Tantric Kriya yoga practices with Osho’s dynamics of intimacy and celebration of life. It is a complete path that helps to cure the suppressed emotional energy held in the body, opens energy channels, introduces a balance between male / female energies, and increases emotional and spiritual maturity levels of consciousness. The key practice, the method for transmuting sexual energy, is the Cosmic Cobra Breath. This advanced and powerful method was given to us by ancient yogic master and mahavatar Babaji Nagaraj and it is passed orally through an initiation. The step before the initiation is the practice of Tantra Bliss formula.
The formula practice is based on a unique method of attuning to Bliss. It is a sequence that works in all circumstances, if you are willing to relax into it. It quickly helps both strangers and couples to create relationships that are full of connection, love and bliss. It brings an individual into Bliss at any time, in any place. It includes some of the most powerful techniques in the world, drawn from several tantric traditions, such as yogic, Taoist, Tibetan & Osho, promoting healing, health, vitality, joy, peace, pleasure, deeper intimacy, consciousness and connection.

The structure:
In the first part of the workshop, we will open a space to talk about Tantra & Sacred Sexuality, and we perform Ipsalu Tantra Bliss Formula. The essence of the formula to make the core of the daily practice is the sequence that creates the magic. There are many methods of arousing sexual energy without sexual activity, including breathing practices, bandhas (body locks), dance and movement. In this part, it will be taught the transmutation breath, through which we learn how to use this life force for spiritual advancement. Experiencing union and oneness through energy.
In the second part, we open the Heart Space where we interact with each other through a choreographed program - eye gazing, couple sense dance, contact improvisation, group games - recognizing and honoring the divine in ourselves and each other. The interaction is very heartfelt and playful, sensual, non-sexual. In this part, we will experience a glimpse of living in bliss...being in Namaste, living in Namaste.
No nudity, beginners, singles, couples

2. Setting boundaries will set you Free
In this Workshop, you will learn a simple, practical, body-cantered process for figuring out your boundaries, and tools to communicate those boundaries to those who need to know about them.
Developing our skills around setting our boundaries and saying what we desire, allows us to take better care of ourselves and have more mutually nurturing relationships. Learning to be fully responsible for our experiences will set us free to enjoy the journey of life in bliss.
Many boundary classes in this new world of consent operate from top down (mind down to the body). I am a “yes” for this and a “no” for that… we are negotiating with ideas of what would eventually feel good or bad as we imagine it in the future. This is awesome. It’s an important step forward from where we have been.
Yet, usually what ends up coming in, is that those ideas are based upon a traumatic projection on the future that we want to avoid, and keep avoiding. It ends up becoming a way to control the potential future from my terrible past. Here, there isn’t much room for spontaneity, especially when we feel controlled. What we are working with are embodied boundaries — boundaries from the bottom up (from the body up to the mind).
Boundaries are dynamic, they represent waves coming and going, sometimes I have a yes for this, then a hell yes for that and a hell no there. We are alive, and that aliveness is the path to intimacy. We are in a constant relationship with everything. Relating is everything. Wherever you are, you are relating. So, what I really want to emphasize, is that when you are grounded, when you are centered, you can apply your body in-tell-igence, you can tell inside and begin to listen and trust your yes and your no. And when we add this dimension of dynamic boundaries to relating, it becomes really fun. Then we make mistakes but they are not violations to be punished for, it’s just us trying to figure out how to best love each other.
3. The Art of seeing and being seen
Sometimes in life it happens, that we feel excluded from the group or from the fun everybody is having. What is happening? How can I behave in natural way to become a part and participate with grace and ease, feeling included? How can I include others into fun I am having with someone?
We will create a space where we learn tools to be welcome, feel included, to appreciate the beauty of each other, of every encounter, of the magic of every moment. The art of including ourselves to the whole tribe, feeling the bigger picture.
A workshop that teaches and explore the power of gaze and presence to influence collective ritual spaces and to create a powerful group holding energy.
4. Pelvic Activation - Biodynamic Breathwork Ceremony
This deeply powerful, 3 hr ceremony will be a journey, where you will be guided into a higher state of consciousness using a deep connected breath - thus flooding the body with oxygen and allowing for any trapped emotions or traumas to rise to the surface, to complete expression or be cleared from your body. Leaving yourself feeling more whole and integrated.
After the introduction and opening circle, we warm up and open the body through dance, movement and specific bioenergetic practices. This will prepare us for the main part of the journey, the breath, and energy circulation. During this part, you will be guided through set of movements which open the armouring we might be creating around the pelvis, the source of our life force. With support of conscious touch, bodywork, music and intuitive energy healing, you will be guided to release any stuck energy. In the final part, we will relax into a space of complete surrender with meditative music.
The basis of this work is in Bioenergetics which relates the state of one's physical energy to the emotional and psychological well-being of the person. To achieve optimal overall health, energy must be able to flow freely through the mind and the body. The bioenergetic analysis is built on the foundation that each person is one with his or her body and therefore, all of the life events and experiences are actually experiences of the body. Breathing is a powerful tool to open and explore your energy. Through various techniques such as breath and pulsations, you are encouraged to relax and release repressed emotions and underlying body tensions, allowing the integration of previously unresolved issues and experiences. Moving through many different layers of your personality structure, you will gain more awareness and a clearer understanding of unconscious mind patterns.
This technique can also bring you back to your birth, a traumatic experience locked in the unconscious, and even to experiences before birth. Reliving these events in a safe and supported space releases incredible resources of energy and brings you to a new -Yes- and deep trust towards life.
This work is suitable for everybody, singles, couples.
No nudity, deeply therapeutic.
Not suitable for people with heart disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and pregnancy.
