In the tantric tradition, true bliss is not something we chase—it is what remains when we soften deeply enough to meet ourselves.

The texts remind us that in profound relaxation, the contracted self dissolves, revealing our essential state: spacious, alive, and quietly ecstatic.

As expressed in Tantrāloka, this recognition is the expansion of the self into all that is—where separation fades, and only wholeness remains.

This half-day retreat invites you into a sacred unwinding, through traditional Tantra Yoga and Ayurvedic walking massage, guiding you back to the effortless bliss that is your innate self.

___________

AYURVEDIC WALKING MASSAGE:
A powerful full-body treatment that uses grounded, rhythmic pressure through the practitioner’s feet to work deeply into the tissues.

Beyond muscular release, this style of bodywork stimulates circulation, lymphatic flow, and the nervous system—while also activating the body’s energetic pathways (often referred to as nadis or meridians).

By clearing stagnation along these channels, the body becomes more receptive, the spine and subtle centres more awake, and prana can move with greater ease.

Traditionally, bodywork like this is understood to prepare the system—softening physical resistance, supporting the flow of vital energy, and creating the ideal internal conditions for a more profound and effortless asana practice to unfold

TRADITIONAL TANTRA YOGA PRACTICE:
The Tantra Yoga series is a prana-based, asana-led practice rooted in the Kaula tradition—where we are not working to stretch or fix the body, but to cultivate trust with it.

Each posture becomes a gateway into the subtle, allowing the subconscious to soften and reveal itself in its own time.

Through repetition and a gentle, non-imposing approach, we de-armour, unwind, and begin to feel what is truly there—without force, without agenda.

It is through this deep relaxation, moving cell by cell, that prana begins to flow more freely, restoring harmony and awakening a quiet, embodied bliss from within

The Unfolding of Bliss:
