Course Overview

A Journey of Integration and Skilful Teaching 

The twelve week immersion offers time to dive into and integrate the worldview of traditional tantra, allowing you to move beyond conceptual learning 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 walking massage 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 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 (community), surrounded by dedicated practitioners, provides the support and continuity needed to make Tantra a way of life, a shared experience, not just a practice. As the weeks unfold, you will build connection with others, as well as find yourself naturally aligning with the recognition that you, they, 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, an intimate community, as well as a strong foundation for sharing this celebration with others.

What the Community Says

"I spent some time at SKaSTA, and it became a meaningful chapter in my journey. It’s a space where many layers of practice come together—āsana, rituals, Śavāsana, massage, mantra, and daily life itself. Over time, each of these opened something in me.
The āsana practice had a special impact. It worked through my body in ways that reached far beyond the physical. It became a doorway—one of many—that kept me engaged, present, and curious. And through that, I also learned that to truly understand something, sometimes you need to share it, to teach it, and let it move through you in a different way. That made me respect its power even more.
Living in community was part of the experience too. It wasn’t always easy—sharing space, time, and emotion with others brought things to the surface. But that, too, became part of the practice: learning patience, presence, and how to show up honestly with others.
SKaSTA doesn’t offer escape—it offers a space and a mirror to play with what’s real. What I took with me is that Tantra doesn’t stay on the mat or end with the ritual—it stays inside, quietly unfolding long after. And it only works if you’re willing to keep it real.
I’m grateful for my time there, and for all the teachings that are still in me today."
