Hatha Yoga, in its original and timeless form, is not a fitness practice. It is a complete science of the human being, using asana, pranayama, mudra, mantra, kriya, and relaxation as instruments of alignment between the individual and the infinite.
And Yoga Nidra? Long before it became a technique, it was a state, described in the oldest texts as the divine resting awareness of Vishnu between the dissolution and re-creation of worlds. A state of being so total, so whole, that nothing is absent from it. We teach both: the state and the method that points you back there.
Classical Tantra was never about the exotic. It was about this: the radical recognition that consciousness is not something you develop. It is what you are.
In 21 days at The Yoga Barn in the heart of Ubud, one of the most energetically alive places on the planet, we immerse ourselves in these three pillars: Hatha, Nidra, and Classical Tantra.
Ha and Tha — sun and moon, effort and surrender, the breath that goes out and the breath that returns.
Hatha is not a posture practice. It is the art of sacred union within yourself.
This training is rooted in the classical lineages — the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gheranda Samhita, the Kashmir Shaivite non-dual view.
Yoga Nidra as it was first known: a divine state of being, and later refined into a precise method so that ordinary people could taste the extraordinary – effortlessly, lying down, eyes closed, breath slowing, the whole system finally allowed to rest into what it always was.
