Tantra Yoga: Expanding into bliss

TantraYoga_300

Written By Allison Prater | Tantra Yoga is a much more complex subject than many of us realize. For most westerners, the first word that comes to mind when they hear Tantra is "sex". Though ritual sexual practice is employed in the "left handed" school of Tantra, it makes up a small part of a much larger and varied practice. The "right handed" path of Tantra is actually a celibate tradition. Two of the most common English translations of the word Tantra are "weaving," in the sense of … [Read more...]
