ABOUT | TRIKA YOGA



Trika Yoga, the spiritual practice at The Movement Center, is a Tantric tradition. The term Tantrism refers to a current found in both Hinduism and Buddhism. While what's emphasized in Tantric Hinduism differs somewhat from what Tantric Buddhism emphasizes, the two strands share common elements.

In general, Tantrism is extraordinary in its acceptance of the world, and the events and experiences that happen there, viewing all these as complete and appropriate aspects of life. A person's life experiences become the arena within which he or she cultivates spiritual understanding. Unlike many traditions which have erected taboos and ritual prohibitions, the Tantric traditions recognize that no area of life is to be rejected. The experience of freedom, spontaneity, creativity, and well-being in this lifetime are what a Tantric practitioner seeks.

Trika Yoga is a form of kundalini yoga. The essence of Trika Yoga is to release tensions in all dimensions and allow our creative energy to flow without obstruction. Trika Yoga is a practice intended to develop awareness of this energy to the point where we experience it not merely as our finite self, but as the infinite Self, the power of spirit that underlies all reality.

The practice of Trika Yoga puts us in touch with our energetic mechanism, a system of energy channels and chakras, and helps us develop a deep understanding of the way in which it functions. We learn to change our state and our ways of relating to our environment. As we learned to stay attuned to the flow of creative energy, we experience an accelerated process of change and growth that leads to the maturing of love and fulfillment in our lives. Eventually we become established in a state of joy and total well-being which benefits everyone with whom we come in contact.
