Raama:
Having practiced for many years already, Raama began his journey into the deeper aspects of Yoga, Tantra and Meditation on Sadhana Retreat at The Scandinavian School of Yoga and Meditation in 2009. He was deeply affected by the authentic teachings of Swami Janakananda who in turn was directly mentored by Swami Satyananda of the Bihar school of Yoga in India, over 50 years ago. It was truly a life changing experience and Raama has dedicated his life to
practicing and teaching yoga ever since. An experienced class teacher, workshop presenter and teacher trainer for both Integral Yoga and HealMe Yoga, Raama is currently Vice President of the Integral Yoga Institute, San Francisco. By sharing his personal experience of Tantra, Raama now hopes to encourage others to truly incorporate these practices into their own daily life. His informed, compassionate and light hearted approach will ease you through resistance to experience new insights and profound personal growth.
Raama has been inspired by Renata’s inquisitive mind and dedication to her practice of Tantra
and is delighted to offer this unique workshop as the first of a new collaborative partnership.
Renata:
Renata began practicing Hatha Yoga two decades ago, initially drawn to it for its physical benefits, but soon realizing how other aspects of the practice are also beneficial for mental and spiritual wellbeing. In 2014 she started to deepen her yoga journey, studying under Vimala Ren Fields of the Healing Arts and Yoga Center in Fredericksburg and began teaching in 2015 at various locations in the area. Renata has a gentle approach to yoga and her teaching style expresses the calmer aspects of
the practice, emphasizing breath awareness and an overall sense of peace and balance. She believes that yoga is for everyone, and through her kind and tranquil nature she seeks to inspire students to experience the true essence of yoga, on and off the mat.
Renata met Raama in 2018 on a Graduate level Teacher Training that he was leading for HealMe Yoga. Remaining in contact ever since, Renata has gradually incorporated Tantra into her existing Yoga and Meditation practice with his guidance, encouragement and support.
Renata’s experience of developing from a “novice” in these techniques, to having a regular daily practice under Raama’s patient mentoring, has led them to now both being uniquely qualified and prepared to introduce Tantra to a wider audience as teaching partners.
