*An afternoon spent in deep exploration of traditional yoga practice and philosophy*Join Taylor for a 3-hour embodied experience, diving deep into various aspects of Traditional Tantra Yoga. These teachings come from teacher Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha of Tantra Mela (previously named Shri Kali Ashram) and interpreted directly from the Trika (Kashmiri Shaivism) tradition, called Kaula Tantra.
The Tantras are the underlying principles of the Vedas and the Indian life science of Ayurveda. The aim of the practice is to balance our internal system (hormones/prana/vital life energy) through a methodical combination of āsanas (postures), prāṇāyāma (breath work) and Vedic philosophy - leading to achieved relaxation on and off your mat, setting the foundation for a wholesome life culture.
We will loosely flow with the following agenda:
- Welcome and Settle: gather, tea offering
- Intention: introductions and intention setting circle
- Preparation: Traditional Tantra philosophy discussion
- Action/Follow Through: Viyama and Tri Dosha physical practice
- Integration: final shavasana, deep meditation and contemplation
- Return and Closing: open sharing and connection
The Yoga Sequences:
Viyama, the Standing Series, a practice of physically opening outward and turning inward with a combination of chest/heart openers and forward folds. This series decompresses the spine, providing much needed relief and alignment to the neck and shoulders, as well as stimulates the sciatic nerve, which travels from the spine down the back of both legs.
The Tri Dosha Series, the core asanas of Traditional Tantra Yoga. This series takes place entirely laying on the ground at a slow pace, encouraging deep meditation and relaxation, similar to restorative yoga yet uniquely different. Each asana builds upon the last, stimulating prana/chi/vital life energy for overall euphoric and relaxing body sensation. Physically and mentally challenging yet gentle and suitable for all levels. Final shavasana concludes each practice, offering stillness to reset and honor ourselves.
Immerse yourself in the liberating philosophy and practice of Traditional Tantra Yoga.

Taylor, Your Guide:
“I was fortunate enough to be introduced to yoga in my adolescence. Over the last 15 years, I have always returned to the traditional practice as a spiritual life science, to help find my true purpose, reduce pain/stress, and to restore self-love and centeredness regardless of external circumstances.
Along my journey, I stayed at Shri Kali Ashram in Thailand for three-months for the experience of a lifetime, immersing myself in the complete Tantra yoga lifestyle. Since finishing the 500hr Traditional Tantra Yoga teacher training, I continue to return to her Dharma, which in Sanskrit refers to the real self. As a yogi, doula, therapeutic bodyworker, and educator, I seek to provide space in which people of all walks of life feel honored, supported and loved. I look forward to diving deep into this practice and esoteric knowledge with you.“
