“Energy follows consciousness, consciousness follows energy. Understanding this relationship in the key to transformation.”

— Traditional tantric teaching

The Yogi's Way: Kundalini Tantra offers a thorough initiation and firm anchoring into the sacred path by liberating energy and expanding consciousness through the seven major energy centres of the body.

 

Experience how Kundalini awakening naturally unfolds, through sustained practice and direct guidance—revealing the joy of being and the recognition of your true nature. This program offers not just techniques, but a complete transformation in how you experience and understand your own energy and consciousness.

The emphasis of the course is direct experience through long-term practice. Always oriented and grounded in the present experience, you receive supportive practices and guidance to access and awaken consciousness while cultivating skill in navigating both somatic and transcendent experiences.

The journey supports both newcomers and experienced practitioners in developing a nuanced, mature approach to energy cultivation that encompasses breath, emotion, sensation, perception, and intrinsic awareness.

 

What is Kundalini?

Kundalini is the force behind the evolution of human consciousness. Kundalini awakening refers to a process of the activation of energy believed to be at the base of the spine. As this energy is aroused we activate deep internal bio-psycho-social-spiritual shifts that transform our whole being from the inside out.

Kundalini awakening is often perceived as highly mystical and unattainable; in truth, the activation of higher potentials is our birth rite and available for those who engage with sincerity, humility, courage, wisdom and commitment.

Our approach

We honor the sacred power of Kundalini energy through gradual, mindful practices that prioritize safety and natural awakening over forceful techniques. Our approach combines traditional wisdom with modern understanding, creating a gentle yet potent path where transformation unfolds organically at the perfect pace for your unique energetic system.

This program guides you systematically through a series of techniques and practices to progressively activate the energetic centres of your being through engaging physiological, endocrinological, neurologically.

Phenomenologically, the cultivation of these practices will create expansive psychological and emotional states that you can learn to safely and reliably access and smoothly integrate over time. You will learn a full tantric chakra practice that you will have with you forever. As you stay with it, your embodied experience of Self, Life, and Divinity will enhance and deepen as ‘time’ unfolds.

 

  • We engage the process mindfully, respectfully, safely, gently, applying an approach that is grounded, reliable, relatable, systematic

  • We take a depth vs. breadth approach - we learn specific, targeted practices and then practice them for a long time. Therefore it’s an experience of deepening vs. accumulation.

  • Tools used are: movement, breath, visualization, activation of emotions, yantra, mantra, directed energy and awareness, somatic activation and awareness.

  • We spend one month on each chakra

  • We integrate as we continue month by month, chakra by chakra. Meaning, as we move on to the subsequent chakra we transcend and include the former chakra to therefore integrate both chakras.

  • We learn formal ‘on the mat’ practices, as well as ‘off the mat | everyday life’ practices ( ie. grocery shopping meditation - for chakra 1)

  • We experience the culmination of the course as spiritual empowerment; recognition and embrace of your own divine creator-ship.

Pillars of the program

 
“Regular practice, study of sacred texts, associating with the wise, and constant contemplation of truth—these are declared to be the foundations of true knowledge.”
— Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13, Verse 8-12
 
 

To help you experientially understand and integrate of the content of this program, we employ the 4 yogic pillars for spiritual growth:

 

I

Sadhana: Spiritual practice

Engage in a regular practice, which will be a combination of guided classes by Tanya as well as personal self-practice.

II

Satsang: Spiritual teachings

Receive teachings rooted in the tradition of yoga and veda whose singular purpose is fulfilment in human life. The teachings act as sacred keys that unlock and release the chains that bind and cause suffering. One by one, teaching by teaching, ever more freedom is known.

III

Sangha: Spiritual community

Stay connected to like minded, like-hearted, and like-spirited group of students. Together you will grow and keep each other accountable as well as mutually support each other through the highs and lows of this sacred process. Spiritual community is an essential component for success on this path. 

IV

Swadyaya: Contemplation & Self Inquiry

While we do take time for formal study or concentrated practice, you will be self-reflecting, self-inquiring and applying your insights in real life situations. This takes it off the mat/cushion and integrates it into life, out of the head and integrates it into the body.

Course Format

  • Program duration: 12 months

  • 3 weeks on, 1 week off

  • 1 live class / week (1.5 to 2 hours) of new teachings in both theory and practice techniques

  • After-class sharing and/or Q&A

  • 1 hour wisdom circle / week for integration and Q&A

  • Daily self-practice (30-90 min) using the guided class recording. Practice progressively builds and deepens over the year, lengthening in duration as we go:

    • Phase I: ~45-minute practices

    • Phase II: ~60-minute practices

    • Phase III: ~90-minute practices

Tanya Kaps

Tanya has been practicing and teaching Hatha Yoga for 25 years with both modern and traditional influences, as well as 13 years sitting in traditional Vedanta teachings with Swami Vagishananda.

At the age of 36, she had a powerful kundalini awakening experience during this time she dove deep into study and practice to facilitate the integration process; at which time she sought out he guidance from reliable teachers specializing in Kundalini Tantra.

Her courses have a pervasive spiritual emphasis reminding students that the spiritual journey is a journey of resolving paradox. May we have a deep recognition that we are already full and complete, and paradoxically, out of fullness, May we embrace our ever-changing-ness and our human evolutionary potentials.
