Our Story
Every yoga journey begins with seeking. We look for the right class, the right teacher, the right yoga teacher training. We explore postures, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing, building knowledge and refining technique. For a time, this feels like progress. But as practice deepens, the direction begins to shift. The search turns inward, and the question changes from “What should I do?” to “What am I not seeing?”
This is where deeper study begins. Through the lens of Tantra, practitioners explore the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies, Shiva and Shakti, as lived experience rather than abstract philosophy. The teachings of the Dasha Mahāvidyā (ten wisdom goddesses) are approached as embodied wisdom, reflecting cycles of creation, dissolution, power, and transformation within the human experience.
This training supports the transition from external learning to internal awareness, guiding students beyond technique into observation, embodiment, and clarity. Whether entering through a 100-hour yoga training or continuing into a 350-hour advanced yoga teacher training, the intention remains the same - to move from seeking to seeing, and from practice to lived understanding.
How This Work Came Into Being
This 100-hour yoga teacher training did not begin as a system. It emerged through years of practice, teaching, and questioning what still felt incomplete.
Over time, the work rooted itself in the depth of Dasha Mahāvidyā and Prasūti Tantra. The Dasha Mahāvidyā are not deities to worship, but forces that reveal the full spectrum of existence, creation, dissolution, illusion, power, and truth. Prasūti Tantra is not limited to womanhood or biology, but reflects the cyclical intelligence through which life moves, transforms, and renews.
Like many, I learned, practiced, and taught. Yet something remained unresolved. Not from lack of discipline, but because what I was seeking could not be reached through effort alone.
The question shifted from "what should I do" to "what am I not seeing".
Here, the answers were not given. They were revealed through experience.
This work moves beyond technique. From doing to seeing. From performance to presence.
Rooted in this depth, the training integrates sound healing, voice, mantra, movement, pranayama, meditation, and subtle body exploration - not as separate practices, but as one continuous field of awareness.
Whether you begin with the 100-hour immersion or continue into the 350-hour Somantra Advanced Yoga Teacher Training, this is not about adding more.
It is about returning to what has always been within you.
The Shift From Outer Practice to Inner Mapping
At a certain stage, practice stops being about:
-
how far you can go
-
how much you can do
-
how well you can perform
And begins to become about:
-
how deeply you can observe
-
how honestly you can sit with yourself
-
how clearly you can perceive what is actually happening
This is where the subtle body becomes relevant.
Not as theory.
But as experience.
The Dasha Mahāvidyā are explored as ten archetypal forces that reveal the full spectrum of human experience - from creation to dissolution, from clarity to illusion, from stillness to intensity.

The Maps We Work With
These are not teachings to believe in. They are patterns to recognise within yourself.
Throughout this journey, certain frameworks begin to reveal themselves - not as ideas, but as reflections and archetypal movements of lived experience.
In this training, you will work with:
-
Dasha Mahāvidyā as forces that reveal the full spectrum of existence - not just the comfortable, but the confronting
-
Prasūti tantra-informed cycles - creation, holding, dissolution
-
The body becomes central. Through somatic intelligence and intuitive movement, you begin to feel rather than analyse. To respond, rather than control.
-
Drawing from yogic science and Ayurveda, you explore cyclical intelligence. Timing. Rest. Renewal. Not as something to follow, but something to recognise.
-
Chakra systems as shifts in perception and awareness
-
Panchakośa (five sheaths) as layers you move through, not concepts you memorise
-
The womb is approached as an archetype. A space of creation, holding, and transformation. Present within all. Not defined by gender, but by capacity.
-
You will also learn to hold circle-based spaces. Not as a role. But as a responsibility. To remain steady. To observe without interference. To allow, without controlling.
These are not taught as beliefs. They are explored as ways of seeing.
Feminine, Masculine & the Search for Balance
On this journey, the ideas of feminine and masculine also begin to shift.
They are no longer roles or identities.
They become movements within you.
-
The part that creates, disrupts, dissolves
-
The part that holds, witnesses, stabilises
Sometimes one dominates.
Sometimes the other recedes.
This training allows you to observe both, without needing to define yourself through either.
From Seeking to Holding Space
As the journey deepens, something begins to loosen.
The need to fix starts to fall away.
The need to impress begins to lose its grip.
The identity of “being the teacher” no longer feels necessary.
There is a quiet kind of freedom in this.
A freeing from:
-
needing to have all the answers
-
needing to guide every outcome
You begin to:
-
hold space without interference
-
observe without needing to intervene
-
allow processes to unfold
Leadership is no longer performed.
It becomes a steady, regulated presence —
that does not control,
but allows.
