We want to live without hassling and allow all that we need to come to us. The mystery lies in how we achieve it – the Mastery is in being it.

The concept of “Sahej” is referenced by the Sikh Gurus throughout their teachings. How do we bring these teachings into our lives to create a relationship with ourselves, our Guru, and our higher consciousness, and how do we live in this reality? This class takes us from wanting knowledge to living the experience of the ultimate yogic journey.

We invite you to join the whole camp for three days of White Tantric Yoga

White Tantric Yoga is an ancient group meditative practice that works on clearing out the deepest corridors of the subconscious mind.   Our minds release 1000 thoughts per wink of an eye. Some of these thoughts get lost in the unconscious, and some get stuck in the subconscious and affect the conscious mind. These thoughts become feelings, emotions, desires, multi-realities or fantasies. Instead of mastering our mind, often our mind and thoughts direct us, which can cause impulsive decisions, poor communication and self-imposed stress.

White Tantric Yoga enables you to break through these subconscious blocks, so you can have a more enjoyable life. In the shortest time, you can experience release from a lot of the burden you carry in your mind.

When you see and act on each moment with clarity, you can gain a deeper understanding of your self and your life can change. Your mind, body and soul can act together as one.

“The Beauty of White Tantra Yoga is that it is subtle, it is exalting and it works to gives you the Mastery of Life.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
