200 Hours Tantra Teacher Training

4th March – 31st March 2023

“Tantra is not technique but prayer. Is not head oriented but a relaxation into the heart.”

Tantra Retreat Training India

Spread over four intensive weeks, this training will take you on the journey of profound self-transformation.

Tantra Class 1

This course is designed in a way to provide you with the knowledge and practice needed to go deeper within as well as be able to hold space for others.

Tantra Yoga India

Our TTC is experience-based, we believe tantra is to be embodied by the teacher and sharing should happen from their own experience.

What is Tantra?

‘Tantra’: a most controversial word, which has been described in many ways.

Tantra is beyond any description. It is a metaphor, that can’t be grasped by the mundane mind. It s a way of being, hidden in daily life.

It is called ‘Tantra’ because it elaborates ‘Tan’: copious and profound matters, especially relating to the principles of reality: ‘Tattva’. It provides liberation: ‘Tra’. The sage Patanjali defined it as ‘Savtantra’. ’Sav means ‘Self’ and ‘Tantra’ means ‘Liberation’: One who is realized in the ‘Self’, Liberated.

OUR TEACHERS:

Swami Antar Khirad

Antar Khirad (‘Inner Wisdom’) got his Sanyas in 1996 at the community of ‘Osho’, an enlightened Master in Pune. Born in the northern part of India in a Kshatriya family, he was raised with ‘Sanatan Dharma’ (Eternal Religion). Throughout their journey of life, he has been with different mystics and masters and lived in several communes and ashrams.

“Religion is not where you are born in, it’s what is born out of you.”

Having this insight, Antar Khirad keeps moving on his path. Sharing his love and energies both in Asia and in Europe for the last 15 years as a contemporary teacher of Tantra, Yoga, and Meditation. Leading many groups and workshops, and giving training and individual sessions.

Ma Yog Stuti

A nomad at heart, her journey started when she was young. Growing up she was influenced by her father which is where she first got to know about spirituality and yoga.

A strong desire to find some stability and tranquility led her to Sivananda Ashram where she formally underwent training to become a yoga teacher. Along with this, she has attended various yoga and meditation camps learning and going deeper into it.

Since then she has been traveling and conducting programs which include beginners, and intermediate as well as being part of TTC as an Assistant Teacher. All this with the hope of sharing the peace that she has found.
