WHAT IS TANTRA?
For those new to the practice, please do not misunderstand or shy away from Tantra because you think it's about sexual practice. Tantra is so much more than this, a way of life that helps us to rise above world pleasures and deepen our connection with our inner energy and enduring contentment.
Tantra means to expand and liberate. It helps to free us from our self-imposed and worldly limitations, expanding our mindfulness and creating a deeper connection with the universe.
This approach to yoga practice is ancient, weaving together asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), mudra (hand gestures), yantra (visualisations) and mantra (sound)
By its very nature it helps to also deepen our connection with our inner self so that there is more ease in our life, more flow, more creative potential, more goodness and more energy - more freedom then.
Emma’s teachings have been influenced by the Scaravelli-inspired approach to practice, with its focus on freeing the spine and the mind in a mindful, loving and compassionate way, working with the body, not against it. In the moments of stillness, the soul reveals more itself.
