Wear comfortable warmer clothes for yoga. Bring your own yoga mat if you like, otherwise all materials supplied.
Each month I will present:
- Some philosophical element of Vedic Tantra (20 mins)

- A full traditional 2.5 hour form of a unique Tantrik Yoga practice - the ‘Tri-dosha’ sequence.
This is an opportunity to learn an authentic classical Tantra, not the modern neo-Tantra that is mostly found in the western world. There is no sexuality or partner work in these sessions.
AUTHENTIC TANTRIK LINEAGE
I am honoured to teach a unique classical Tantrik Yoga system, from the Kaula Lineage, containing deep esoteric knowledge of thousands of years of history.
The unique ‘Tri-dosha’ yoga sequence I will be sharing has a direct Tantrik lineage and I believe it may be the oldest yoga sequence remaining, in the world today.
THE ORIGINAL FORM OF YOGA
Handed down through generations of Kaula Tantra ācāryas (teachers), this is a an ancient slow-form system that integrates pranayama (breath techniques), asana (posture), bandhas (energy unlocks), dhyana (meditation) and yoga nidra (yogic sleep). Designed to re-balance and re-activate your fundamental energy system and unlock the source Shakti energy…Kundalini, to bring you back to your original state of being.
Classical Tantra yoga is a system created by realised masters who uncovered the knowledge of Kundalini and designed embodied-somatic pathways to experience the full liberating power of this source-shakti Prana (Kundalini).
These enlightened beings could see through the fabric of this reality, beyond time itself giving them complete knowledge of existence. Not from faith or belief but from metaphysical exploration and transcendance.
The Natha lineage of Kaula Tantra is the source of embodied (whole body) yoga that is practiced throughout the world today. The foundation of Tantrik philosophy and practice is the sacred knowledge held over over many thousands of years, recorded in the Vedas and Upanishads - that the body is a microcosm or map of the universe and that the path to enlightenment can be a somatic/body-centred process.
This knowledge was expanded on and developed into a highly sophisticated science and artform by the Tantriks who brought the science of the energy body into its highest form about 1,000 years ago. This science includes the mapping of nadis, chakras, kundalini and the universal 5 elemental Tattvas within the human body.
From this understanding Tantriks created the original fully embodied yoga system - using asana, pranayama, mudra, yoga nidra, bandhas and dyhana - that gave rise to what is now modern yoga. Unfortunately, modern western yoga has lost its essence, and is largely ignorant of the metaphysical potential of the practice of embodied yoga.
PRACTICAL ADVICE:
While 2.5 hours seems a long session, the Tantric Yoga sequence is deeply relaxing with a long guided meditation shavasana, going beyond normal perceptions of time. It is open to anyone of any ability as the asana (postures) are accessible to all.
ABOUT GABRIEL
Gabriel Sol is a qualified teacher in this Traditional ‘Kaula’ Tantric system of Yoga, training in one of the last remaining traditional Kaula Tantra schools in India, where he was initiated in a traditional environment. During this time he qualified as a Kaula Tantra Yoga Teacher.
Gabriel has also completed intensive training with a second Tantra lineage - Mahasiddha Yoga (Rishikesh, India). He has been teaching this Kaula Tantra system for the last 7 years while continuing his study and practice of classical Tantra through multiple teachers and scholars.
Gabriel has undertaken comprehensive training in the Daoist 5 element system and also teaches a therapeutic & yogic system created by Gwyn Williams - Zenthai Shiatsu and Zenthai Flow Yoga. His Daoist studies and practice with Gwyn Williams and Master Mantak Chia have complimented his Tantric journey and transformed his awareness of the human subtle-energy body.
Gabriel has also practised a range of modern yoga systems over the last 15 years, completing a modern Hatha Teacher Training with the Himalayan Yoga Institute (Rishikesh, India) and has over 700 hours of Yoga Alliance teacher training accreditation. His journey into somatic and healing practices include Zen Thai Shiatsu, 5 Rhythm Dance Therapy, Brazilian Capoeira, Korean Tae Kwon Do & Energy Healing from various Japanese lineages.
Gabriel has been studying the nature of our existence for many years, particularly buddhism and shinto. He also holds a Masters degree, focusing on common global values that have been expanding human ethics and consciousness.
Gabriel’s Kaula Tantra teacher, Bhagavan Shanmukha Anantha Natha, uniquely received his knowledge of Tantra yoga from two complimentary streams of Tantra. He was immersed in Tantric science by his grandparents who were right-hand Tantrics (Dakṣiṇa Marga) & was also an initiated student of a traditional lefthand tantric (Vāma Marga) ācārya.
