The Art & Science of Kundalini Tantra

300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Module

September 8 - November 3, 2024

 

Tantra – the path of Divine Power.

With faith, we walk the path of discipline and ecstasy. We will build our capacity and delve into the rituals and study of how to shine during this time of darkness. With devotion, you can truly experience a personal experience of love that can empower you no matter what your circumstances.

Dispel common misunderstandings about tantra (often confused with eroticism); the path is an extraordinary path of philosophy, practice and spirituality geared toward Enlightenment.

Full of rich traditional practices in meditation, asana, pranayama and energy management that extend over Hinduism and Buddhism, yet transcend all religion, we will learn to cultivate self-understanding and self-transformation. We will learn what true personal power is all about, and how to harness it and direct it for our greater good.

Over the 3 months, using techniques of Kriya (purification), concentration, devotion and faith, we will explore what it means to expand consciousness and access your own divine truth and wisdom.

Our coursework is one Sunday a month, plus weekly recorded lectures and practices, and a 3-day retreat in Sierra Madre, CA (lodging not included) November 1-3. For those of you that can attend live, vegetarian Ayurvedic meals will be provided at the retreat.

We highly encourage you to experience each class (in order) in the live sessions. The relationship between teacher and student is a sacred one and these teachings are transmitted from teacher to student as the student is ready. Every student enrolled will have the opportunity to meet with René privately.

Step into the path of transformation for yourself.

Please note: If you are taking this training as a standalone and not part of the current 300-hour course, there may be a need for a bridge session for some preparatory work.

Please email René with any questions about whether this training is right for you. CEU Credits and 300-hour training credits can be applied for Yoga Alliance.

“I have been teaching Yoga since 2001 and took the Yoga Madre 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training 2020/2021. I was touched not only by the profound knowledge and teachings of René Quenell but also by her loving and inspiring guidance. The training opened a whole new understanding of yoga and myself, and I am thrilled to follow these teachings and Yoga Madre into the future. It’s a truly transforming experience.”
