“Tantra is the alchemical path of transformation from poison into nectar and from the curse into the verse." - Sianna Sherman
In Tantra, the body is seen as the temple, a sanctuary space that the spirit of the Divine dwells within. Tantra is also very ritualized and the intention of these rituals is to open the body for transformation with the use of mudras and the sound of mantras so the whole ritual becomes meditative.
Tantra has taught me to love, to blossom, to be, to see, to embrace the darkness and love the dark for the dark would not exist if there were no light. Tantra allows us to bring the Sacred into every detail of LIFE.
In this workshop, we will be diving into a full spectrum yogic practice including invocation, asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, sacred story & meditation. Expect a soulful journey to ignite magic in your body, mind and heart with the stories and practices of yoga.
Tantra has been the single most healing modality I’ve experienced. Having studied and practiced many traditions, Tantra is the all encompassing flow to the divine.
I feel such a deep reverence for this tradition, it speaks to every cell in my body, a welcoming home of sorts. I feel in my full power, as well in harmony and grace feeling a loving connection to people and nature, all through balancing my energy.

Pratyahara - The Art of Seeing Within: A Yin Blindfold Intensive
Pratyahara means to withdraw all senses, and when we bring this to the mat, deep healing occurs on a soul level. In 2015, I was diagnosed with open angular glaucoma. This progressive disease led to complete vision loss in one eye and 50% in the other. Practicing yoga began to look different as I was forced to modify my own practice. This disease taught me to look inside, to discover my truth and take control of ego.
When we close ourselves off to sensory stimulation we truly become present with self. There is nowhere to run, there is nowhere to hide, there is stillness. Within this gentle battle between ego and soul, we face our shadows and our light. We discover our truth, our authenticity, and the sacred union within. Ego falls away as we bring in self-compassion, self-worth and self-appreciation.
I believe in the power of Pratyahara, and I believe you will leave this workshop transformed.

The Art of Mudra
The ancient Rishis discovered the universe in your hands through the practice of mudras.
The physical body is made up of five elements, namely Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Sky. A mudra is a gesture or positioning of the hands intended to direct energy flow and to connect parts of the body to the brain as life force energy flows through the body.
Mudras are seals of subtle energy that have a profound effect on the physical and energetic body. They provide a powerful range of medicine for the mind, emotions and body.
In this workshop, mudras will be learned and practiced in a way that will create a foundation to carry on this practice on your own. The variety of hand gestures will take you on a journey through the many levels of yourself and open you up to a world of balance, beauty and harmony.
In this magical class, mudras will be incorporated into every part of the practice (meditation, breath, postures and relaxation) as a way of listening more deeply to our subtle energy body.

PROTECTING YOURSELF ENERGETICALLY
This workshop is for those who find themselves holding space for others. As Spiritual teachers and practitioners, it is easy to pick up energy that is not ours and unknowingly let it influence us and bring confusion into our lives. We must protect ourselves. It is when we are clear and protected that we can truly hold space for others.
In this workshop, Kevin will provide students with information on why protecting ourselves is important and what rituals we can use to do this for ourselves.
