The Benefits Of Tantra Yoga for Women

Tantra yoga for women is a much larger concept that most would believe. It definitely is not merely about making the woman a more suitable receptacle of a man’s sexual advances. Yoga is an ancient Indian system of postures and exercises that strengthen the body and lend it more flexibility. This promotes overall health and helps channel all energy more fruitfully – whether it is sexual or spiritual energy.

Today’s stressful and hectic pace of life has not spared women – they are as subject to fatigue and burnout as men are. Tantra yoga is a refined form of the ancient yogic sciences that calms the mind and promotes energy. It is quite different from conventional forms of exercise; we tend to consume energy in sports and other strenuous exercises, while tantra yoga actually generates energy. Taught by an experienced tantra teacher, tantric yoga is in fact a great boon to the modern woman.

In tantric yoga, slow and steady movements are used to segue from one posture into another. The practitioner maintains each posture for a certain prescribed period, breathing calmly and unhurriedly. A full sequence of tantra yoga exercises is usually followed by a period of quiet meditation. The tantra master supervising the process often provides calming instructions and suggestions to induce this meditative state.

Tantric yoga is an ideal way for women to regain health and wellbeing. The very nature of this system is gentleness, which is the essential virtue of the sacred feminine. There is very little danger of injury if tantra yoga is practiced under the guidance of an experienced tantric teacher. At no point is the yogic student required to go beyond endurance limits. The accent is on smooth, balanced and symmetric movements and postures which stretch, tone and energize every part of the body. The emphasis on symmetry and balance brings with it mental and emotional balance, as well.

Contrary to misconceptions, women of all ages can practice tantric yoga without limitations. A good tantra teacher will be able to modify and customize the postures and stretches according to age and physical condition. Tantra yoga is a stress-free, powerful and extremely effective exercise system that can work miracles for women of all age groups and body types. If a woman wants a healthy way of life that is free from strain and stress, she should most definitely learn tantra yoga under a qualified tantra master.

To answer a final question that will doubtlessly arise in the mind of the reader – yes, tantra yoga also revitalizes a woman’s sexual experience and enjoyment. Both physically and emotionally, this system enables her to reach her fullest sexual potential. However, this is not the primary objective of tantra yoga. It is merely one of the many benefits it brings with it.

Your Woman – The Tantra Goddess

Woman is the central pivot of tantra sex, because she embodies the sacred goddess from which everything is born. The spiritual concept of the sacred feminine can be seen in almost all cultures of the world. The major religions of the world as well as most so-called pagan worship systems recognize the essential tantra goddess model.

Tantra ascribes great importance to the tantra goddess because it acknowledges that it is woman who beckons the seed from man. In truth, it is she who creates by fertilizing what she has called forth from man by the power of her allure. The tantra goddess symbolizes creation, fertility and beauty, and every woman is born as one.

This fact does not absolve her from the responsibility of evoking from the man the required sexual response. In fact, she must learn to do so under the tutelage of a genuine tantra teacher. The tantra goddess in a woman must learn of the process and intricacies of tantric sex. After all, it is she who must coax the orgasmic response form her male partner in order to be fruitful. This is how Mother Nature herself has designed it. It cannot be otherwise.

Once the woman has gained sufficient knowledge about her all-important role from her tantra master, she is ready to be fruitful and blissful with her male partner. At the same time, the man must receive the required tantra instructions to be able to meet his tantra goddess on the holy ground of tantric sexual union. The role of the tantra master is therefore inalienable and intrinsic.

It must be remembered that tantra sex is not something that comes naturally to us. Without tantra instructions, sexual union cannot be more than base animal coupling. Our sexual natures are driven by primitive, unformed instincts – much like those of beasts. We are capable of spiritual evolution, but this does not come without discipline and guidance.

Under the guidance of an accomplished tantra teacher, divine sexuality comes into full bloom and the worship begins. The man, fully instructed in how to arouse and stimulate his woman, is ready to approach the sexual act with respect and reverence. The woman, in turn, is fully awakened to her unique and God-given stature of tantra goddess. She is able to evoke the ultimate sexual potential from her man, and to receive his act of worship in the correct spirit.

What is required of her is a willingness to give in abundance of herself, as befits a goddess. She holds nothing back, for her man has also abandoned himself to adoring her as a divine creature. The combined power of the tantra knowledge given to them by their tantra master sets their bodies and souls ablaze with unfathomable passion. This passion is what feeds everything that ever was and ever will be creative in Nature.

The Secrets Of Tantric Sex

To begin with, it is important to understand that tantra sex is not meant to be used for self-indulging pleasure seeking. Rather, it a means of unifying two lovers on a spiritual level where only a physical and perhaps emotional one existed. Incredible as it may sound, tantric sex actually involves meditation – meditation upon each other. Under the tutelage of a tantra teacher, lovers learn to abandon selfish pleasure seeking and to focus on giving each other pleasure instead. At the same time, they learn to focus on the moment and what is happening in it.

As a result of tantra meditation upon each other during tantra sex, the sexual pleasure is vastly magnified. For those who pay careful attention to the instructions of their tantra master, the fabled whole-body orgasm becomes attainable. The man, in his avatar of tantra God, is vested with unthought-of sexual powers that enable him to experience multiple orgasms. The woman, now worshipped as a tantra goddess by her lover, experiences emotional, physical and spiritual fulfilment of a kind she had never suspected to exist.

Tantric sex takes place under the presupposition that the two original tantra deities – Shiva and Shakti – are being represented during the time of sexual union. The tantra god Shiva acknowledges that despite his great masculine powers, he is powerless without his counterpart – the tantra goddess Shakti. These two tantra deities can also be seen as representative of the oriental concept of yin and yang – the male and female energies whose interaction and synergy created, sustain and harmonize the Universe.

One of the secrets of tantra that you will learn from your tantra teacher is that there are no gender absolutes. Each gender has a bit of the other in it (as represented by the yin and yang symbol). Ancient tantra scoffs at the essentially Western caricatures of the macho Alpha male and the yielding, powerless woman. In fact, it is only when two lovers discover in themselves elements of each other that tantric sex becomes possible. By accepting and leveraging this fact, a balance of male and female energies takes place and sex becomes worshipful – a sacred rite that brings unimaginable pleasure and fulfillment.

Your tantra master is your guide on this journey, and he will help you and your lover overcome your biases, breach your artificial sexual boundaries and grow into the spiritual beings that you were always meant to be. When this happens, the concept of ‘divine sex’ takes on a whole new meaning…
