Discover the inner yoga of ancient India, the yoga of awareness and presence, and the secret of absolute freedom! Mukta Tantra Yoga is the traditional Tantra yoga of Kundalini, Tantric asanas and chakras, mantras, meditations, philosophy, Tantric breath, sounds, vibrations, and elements.

Our location in Agonda, South Goa is just 200m walk from the beach, surrounded by nature, coconut trees and lulled by the sound of waves. Onsite, you will find private rooms with attached bathrooms, and our open roof top yogashala with amazing nature and sea view.

Note that there are no sexual activities in our courses as it is based on Indian Traditional Tantra Yoga and not on new-age Western Tantra.

Mukta Tantra Yoga is not Hatha Yoga or Neo Western Tantra or Western Kundalini Yoga. Historically, it is the only philosophy in the world that is not male chauvinistic and doesn’t discriminate between any nationality, class, color, gender, sexuality and religion.

It has evolved very differently in a non-dualistic environment and passed orally from generation to generation in a practical way.

Mukta Tantra Yoga is a golden secret key to absolute freedom. It is the Essence of all Asiatic Mysticism. It is inspired by Traditional Kundalini Tantra Yoga and Kashmir Shaivism (also called Himalayan Tantra, Agama, Trika, etc.) and by Mukta’s Father and various Mystics as well as Mukta’s life experiences.

Therefore this type of yoga cannot be found through self-claimed scholars or their books and it is no[……]

Sivananda Yoga & the Divine Grace Ashram

Yoga offered by the Divine Grace Ashram

We are grateful and honored to share the blessings of Swami Sankarananda and the Divine Grace Ashram – now an integral part of ChocolaTree’s grander vision. Together, we now offer weekly co-sponsored events including, Sivananda Yoga classes around the valley, yearly larger “Holyday” celebrations, and seasonal gatherings like our Christmas sold out feast, or our ongoing Soup for the Soul Wednesdays in the lounge, at ChocolaTree.

What we practice is Sivananda Yoga, a classical and holistic healing system, which stretches and tones the entire body. Sivananda Yoga helps both body and mind gain and maintain a natural healthy state. The practice emphasizes proper exercise, relaxation and breathing – each ninety-minute Asana practice begins with breath work and closes with a full body and mind relaxation.

Yoga, simply put, means union. Union of the individual with the supreme, or union of one’s body, mind, and spirit so that our actions, our words, and our thoughts are in alignment. Yoga is not a religion but a spiritual practice that can be incorporated into one’s daily life no matter what religion you follow, whether it is Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, or Atheist.

The teachings of Yoga go far beyond simply physical exercise or stretches. Even the Asana part of Yoga, which is not purely physical, has mental and spiritual benefits.

By closely observing the lifestyles and needs of people in our modern world, Swami Vishnudevananda s[……]

Restorative Yoga

These 9 Restorative Yoga Poses Will Give You the Relief You’re Craving

January 18, 2025

If you prefer fast-paced dynamic workouts such as HIIT, rowing, and power yoga, you may see exercise as an opportunity to break a sweat and bring your heart rate up. And while there’s nothing wrong with those motivations, sometimes your body needs something a bit calmer and gentler to quite literally ground you back down to earth. You may want to consider restorative yoga, a perfect option for balancing out your workout routine while also helping alleviate stress. Read on for some of the best restorative yoga poses to try.

What Is Restorative Yoga?

When you think of yoga, you might imagine pushing back into Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), flowing through Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskars), or going upside down into a Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana). Unlike these more active postures and sequences, restorative yoga allows you to simply let go and melt into your mat.

“Restorative yoga differs from other types of yoga in that it is completely passive and supported,” says Peloton instructor Anna Greenberg. “There’s no effort from the practitioner at all to hold themselves up in any of the postures.”

Restorative Yoga vs. Yin Yoga: Key Differences

Be careful not to conflate restorative yoga with Yin Yoga. While both of these practices involve slowing down and maintaining longer holds than you’d find in other yoga classes, they’re far from interchangeable. Yin Yoga requires more effort and action—and can feel intense. “In Yin Yoga, you hold deep stretches that work on s[……]

The last two decades have seen an increasing interest in the age-old yogic philosophy and its practices which has managed to create an impact on a global level, especially in the field of fitness and wellness.

Power Yoga

What Is the Difference Between Yoga and Power Yoga?

October 9, 2024

Traditional Yoga vs. Power Yoga

Well, I guess I’m the best person to answer this question, considering I grew up from age 15 in Traditional yoga. By Traditional yoga, I mean a vinyasa yoga practice I studied in India called Ashtanga yoga. I am also the person who coined the term “Power Yoga.“

The difference between the two is nothing and/or everything. Let me explain. In India, most of the yoga practices are not physical, so right there you could say there are many differences between Power Yoga and most yoga practices.

So, what’s the point of yoga?

The goal of yoga is enlightenment, so you could also say that anything that leads to enlightenment is a yoga practice. Yes, Power Yoga leads to enlightenment, so then you could say there is no difference.

What is Power Yoga and How Do You Do It?

The objective of Power Yoga is to strengthen the benevolent and eradicate the malevolent.

To do this, we have to become aware of our mental state or the places our minds dwell, and with this awareness, we can decide if we want to dwell in the place our mind is dwelling or not. This choice gives us the opportunity to empower or disempower the mind states that benefit (benevolent) us or hinder (malevolent) us. I feel from my own experience, this is aligned with the objective of all yoga, so in that, there is no difference.

To do all this, we take a unique path. Yet if you could understand the thousands of different ways yoga is expressed in India and throughout the world, you could even say[……]

What is kundalini meditation?

Kundalini meditation is a type of meditation that is designed to awaken the Kundalini energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine. The Kundalini energy is believed to be a powerful source of spiritual energy that can bring about profound transformation and enlightenment.

During a Kundalini meditation practice, individuals typically sit in a comfortable position and focus on their breath or a specific mantra. The intention is to quiet the mind and bring awareness to the body, allowing the Kundalini energy to rise up through the chakras.

There are many different types of Kundalini meditations, each with its own specific focus and intention. Some examples include:

Breath-focused meditation: This type of meditation involves focusing on the breath and using specific breathing techniques to help awaken the Kundalini energy.

Mantra meditation: Mantra meditation involves repeating a specific mantra, such as “Sat Nam” or “Om,” to help calm the mind and activate the Kundalini energy.
