Agama is a Tantric Yoga school based in Thailand. This year these teachings are available in Hawaii for the first time. The esoteric Yoga teachings are presented in a coherent, step-by-step approach, well adapted to the Western mentality without losing their original mystique and richness. The mysteries and secrets of Yoga are presented in conjunction with relevant information from Ayurveda, Christianity, and Tibetan Buddhism. Comprehensive printed materials are provided, and the workshop is marked by many exemplifications and meditations.
Weekend Introductory Workshop

This course is a step-by-step approach to Yoga, in the oral secret tradition of the Tantric schools of India and Tibet. It requires no preparation or previous knowledge.We address your rational mind by providing clear explanation of the mechanisms behind Yoga, and spiritual practice in general. As such, we do not bother with weird rituals, dogmas and superstitions, but stick to the exact practice of Yogic techniques in a goal-oriented manner. We explore the original Yoga, so that the mysterious richness of this age-old tradition should not be lost or misunderstood, nor its secrets lost.

There are many branches of the Yoga system, and during this workshop techniques from the following disciplines will be given: Hatha-Yoga, Kriya-Yoga, Kundalini-Yoga, and Karma-Yoga. Information and lectures on other related topics will be given: Yogic diet, purification techniques, Ayurvedic medicine, Yin/Yang balancing, Relaxation, Yogic physiology and psychology, Sublimation of energy, mental concentration, and the use of music in Yoga. There is a commitment to a clear and elevated level of communication.

You’ll need comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, a Yoga mat or blanket, and a pen and paper. No recording devices are allowed.
