Ancient Tantra Yoga & Live Sound Healing in Brisbane, 10th December 2017

Ancient Tantra Yoga and Live Sound Healing

Experience an ancient yoga sequence from the tradition of Kaula Tantra Yoga integrated with live Sound Healing.

Each of these two modalities are individually designed to take you deep into a subconscious state. Interwoven together into one experience of sacred movement and sacred sound; this ancient Yoga technique and modern sound healing will create a deeply powerful and beautiful healing space.

Prior to leading this sequence, Gabriel (a qualified Tantric Yoga Teacher,) will present a one hour introduction to true traditional tantra and this system of yoga.

The traditional Kaula Trantra yoga system is a movement meditation using a beautiful integration of traditional yoga asana (poses), pranayama (breathwork) and guided meditation and is designed to balance your 5 elemental energies. This is not the sexual practice of Tantra but rather the powerful traditional Hatha yogic system that increases Prana throughout the whole body and brings you more into contact with your true self.

During the two hour yoga sequence, ‘Haitch’ will create a live healing soundscape utliising a range of instruments such as slide Didgeridoo, Native American flutes, electric Indian zither and more.

GABRIEL SOL is a qualified teacher in a Traditional ‘Kaula’ Tantric system of Yoga. He will be sharing one of the oldest yoga sequences still in existence.

This unique Tantric yoga sequence is called the ‘Tri-Dosha’ – a yoga system designed to balance the 5 basic elements that exist within our bodies and this Universe. This asana sequence has been handed down through generations of Kaula Tantra teachers. This approach to ?sana comes from a timeless tantric formula based on the subtle energy system to take you deep into the powerful subconscious while activating Pranic flow throughout the body. This was the original intention of Ancient Yoga. The earliest evidence of a documented system of asana (postures) come from texts written by Tantrics and it is appears that the traditional Hatha Yoga systems were Tantric systems. https://www.facebook.com/YogaandBodyWork

Haitch traces his sound healing work form its roots in Naad Yoga, a traditional form that is based on the concept that the entire cosmos, including human beings, is made up of sound vibrations.” Haitch uses a variety of instruments to create his soundscape including flutes, didgeridoo and vocals. www.haitchmusic.com

TRI-DOSHA SEQUENCE: The sequence will be approx 2.5 hours, but the use of pranayama (breath) and the movement in and out of relaxation poses (like shavasana) combined with Haitch’s mesmerising sound healing means the experience feels deeply relaxing and timeless, moving you into unconscious states that allow for energy re-balancing and re-mapping of the unconscious mind.
