  BHUTA SHUDDHI: TANTRIC SCIENCE OF THE CHAKRAS & ELEMENTS
  Online via Zoom
  
  2024 Dates TBA
  
  CE: 25 Hours

  

  An advanced level training for Yoga teachers and serious practitioners. We will study the tantric application of the chakras in healing and practice. According to ancient tantric texts such as the Rudra Yamala and the Bhuta Shuddhi Tantra, your body is a living shrine—and a pranayama & meditation practice called bhuta shuddhi is one of the best ways to render that shrine wholesome and pure. The practice is so potent that the sages forbid students who are not familiar with the broad range of yoga practices from undertaking it. Bhuta shuddhi, they declare, is fruitful to those who combine asana, pranayama, and mantra japa, but fruitless for those who isolate those practices.
