12 Weeks / 500 Hour
Tantra Yoga Immersion / Teacher Training course
Course Overview
A Journey of Deep Integration and Teaching Mastery
The twelve week immersion offers time to dive into and integrate the worldview of traditional tantra, allowing you to move beyond conceptual learning and into the experience of tantra as a way of being. This immersive journey is designed for those who seek not just to understand, but to embody the teachings, refining their practice and their ability to share it with others.
Through daily Satsangs, you will explore the foundational principles of Kaula Tantra, returning to them again and again from different perspectives. Twice-daily prāna-based āsana practice will take you beyond a physical experience into an energetic and superconscious unfolding. Ayurvedic health practices will support this unfolding through vitality and further prānic balance. Sacred rituals such as ārti and nyāsa will deepen your experience of the divine as you, making tantra a living, breathing experience.
Within twelve weeks of āsana practice, repetition, and seven weeks of direct teaching experience, you will develop fluency and confidence in guiding others. Teaching becomes second nature as you refine your skills through extended exposure, feedback, and lived experience. This extended timeframe allows for true integration—not just as you guide āsana, but also as a felt knowing that shapes how you walk through the world.
Living in kula, surrounded by dedicated practitioners, provides the support and continuity needed to make Tantra a way of life, not just a practice. As the weeks unfold, you will find yourself naturally aligning with the recognition that you and everything—every object, every movement, every moment—are the Absolute, dancing.
By the end of these twelve weeks, you will have a profound, embodied gnosis of Tantra as a radical celebration of existence, as well as a strong foundation for sharing this celebration with others.

What the community says
"I am very grateful to Whitney, Toma and the entire Ashram Team for a life-changing experiance. Having been a student at Shri Kali Ashram in Goa between 2013 and 2016, I have been sharing Tantra Yoga with passion and enthousiasm back in Germany ever since. Returning now to the new SKaSTA Ashram in Kovalam has been as mind-boggling as it was 10 years ago. A more deeper understanding of the radical but awesome philosophy, a broader overall view, including amazing somatic experiances like e.g. in the morning rituals and in newly added breathwork, in addition to the wonderful asana practice and the fantastic ayurvedic walking massage. I am so thankful and happy to feel completely recharged, immensely inspired, focussed on what really matters, connected to myself and the world, as I have rarely felt during my entire life. Instead of staying 4 weeks as planned, I was staying for 7 weeks, and surely will come back next season."
Prof. Dr. Tom Aigner, Germany
