ORIGINS

Tantra & the Four Cores

ORIGINS is the foundational study of Paramparā. Through Tantrik philosophy, embodied practice and the Four Cores of Inner Power Yoga, you will explore how the movements of creation animate your own body.

Invocation

Begin at the beginning: with the pulse of creation itself.

ORIGINS explores the Tantrik vision of consciousness as an ever-moving dance of Shiva and Shakti—and traces that cosmic movement into your own body through spanda, the Four Cores and the embodied alignment principles of Inner Power Yoga.
