Sivananda yoga is a classical and holistic approach to Hatha yoga. Based on the teaching of Swami Sivananda" Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realise". It is a systematic practice of Kirtan( meditative chanting of Sanskrit mantras), a balanced set of 12 postures for physical and spiritual alignment balanced with the proper pranayama(breath work), and savasana (relaxation).
Anahata Tantra is a new modality developed by Robbie and derived from 3 major influences:
1) The ancient pre-yoga traditions of Tantra
2) The diverse and innovative approaches of Osho and the so-called 'Californian Tantra' movement and
3) Tibetan Tantra and Vajrayana Buddhism which Robbie studied in northern India.
The engagement of the vastly potent energy of the subtle body will be explored via exercises, meditation, mantra, music, and games! We will unlock the wondrous healing and reconciliatory power of Anahata (the unstruck) heart chakra.
This will be a new view of some very ancient teachings and a really fun introduction to various forms of Tantra and how they might aid us in the strange day-to-day business of life in the 21st century.

Breathe into your chakras, using ancient breathing techniques which awaken the kundalini. This kind of meditation is very active and not for the faint-hearted.
This method of meditation is perhaps quite different from what you imagine, people sitting crossed legs in silence watching their thoughts. WRONG! This is an active breath meditation and the last thing you have time for is your thoughts. So if you struggle with standard meditation practices, come give this a try.
Be prepared for a transformational experience. It is not suitable for people with heart conditions or pregnant.
Including snacks and debrief at the end of the meditation, there is always so much to talk about and share you will be surprised.
