Tantra Yoga is one of the most misunderstood styles of yoga, having largely become associated with sexual ritual. In truth, Tantra Yoga involves the shakti side of spiritual life, and it focuses on awakening and harmonizing the masculine and feminine aspects within each of us in order to spiritually awaken and realize the whole universe as an expression of Shakti, the Cosmic Mother.

Tantra Yoga deals with expanding all levels of consciousness, whether waking, dreaming or sleep states, in order to unveil and realize the Supreme Reality. The practice of Tantra Yoga involves breathing exercises (pranayama), contemplation, visualization and the repetition of mantras. Through these practices, one can learn to identify the factors which influence the thoughts and feelings and to transcend obstacles to evolution and consciousness resulting from intolerance, ignorance, selfishness and an attachment to our animal nature. Thoughts and feelings are refined while peace, harmony and order is restored within one's self.
