Tantric Yoga
Like many eastern practices adopted by western cultures, much of your perception may be influenced by the cherry-picking from the whole of this ancient spiritual practice.
Tantra on social media is full of aerobic sexuality, fear-based selling, and selective spirituality — it has zero practicality and is disconnected from its authentic roots.
Tantra, at its core, is about transcending the old self and unlearning how you were taught to suffer. It is about connecting with high consciousness and playing on the playground of infinite possibilities.
Tantra and Tantra Meditation is a truly powerful spiritual practice. It creates a balance between the divine feminine and divine masculine energy within you. It helps deepen your spiritual bond with your partner and allows you to discover your most authentic and highest self.
Misunderstanding and westernization often remove the deep spirituality of Tantra and make it more about sexual liberation.
While this is an aspect of the overall spiritual practice, it is not the sole focus. It is a byproduct of the awakening to your authenticity and spiritual alignment with the Devi Consciousness.
By Tapping into traditional elements of Tantra, you open up to a powerful spiritual practice that can help you cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.
Tantra
Westernized Tantra
Uses external forces such as certain foods, alcohol, and sex to create a spiritual transformation
Most often, practice with a partner
Meditations and rituals are highly sexual to awaken sensual energy
Most common Tantra practice in western cultures
Traditional Tantra
Uses your personal energy to create a spiritual alchemy — transformation within mind + soul.
Deeply spiritual and relies heavily on meditation, mantra, and honoring your inner goddess.
Recognizes the importance of the body and its energies despite the negative connotations from eastern philosophies. This includes five elements of the human experience — Kaam [sexual energy], Krodh [anger], Lobh [Greed], Moh [attachment], and Ahankaar [ego].
Independent practice with guidance from a teacher
Modernized Tantra within a Western context is attractive to western cultures, possibly because of the sexual suppression experienced for generations. Tantric sex can create a deep bond with your partner and exceed your standard sexual experience.
As with many eastern philosophies, western cultures have whitewashed much of it and removed many spiritual elements from the practice.
Traditional Tantra transmutes different energies to help you heal, balance your masculine and feminine energies, and transform you into your highest self. It is also the most accessible practice because any human can practice it at any time. Tantra meditation encompasses all of the parts of you, not just sexual, but all parts of your being.
You can discover a you that is full of playfulness — a rare form of freedom untapped by many. A you that is calm in the face of adversity and has the courage and clarity to transform your life.
Instead of viewing Tantra through a western or traditional lens, there are elements of both that encompass elements to strengthen spirituality.
At Leela, we cut through the noise and help you focus on a meditation practice that embodies traditional practice balanced with a modern lifestyle.

Much of the work we do here at Leela Gurukul is focused on strengthening your divine feminine energy and helping you connect with goddess energy. Masculine energy is so prominent for most people due to living in a society that frowns on many traits of feminine energy.
A society that normalizes the rejection of divine femininity creates an overindulgence of masculine energy.
Tantra helps you know more about divine feminine energy than you could learn from social media influencers.
Although our focus is so profoundly on the divine feminine, that does not mean we only work with spiritual warriors who identify as female.
Our mission is to help students reach their full potential through energetic balance and spiritual awakening.
