The Magic of White Tantric Yoga

White Tantric Yoga® is a wonderful, fascinating, extraordinary, and transformative experience designed to deepen one’s spiritual awareness and foster personal growth. White Tantric Yoga® is about elevating ourselves with purity, authenticity, and the integration of all colors in the light spectrum.

Rooted deeply in the spiritual aspects of Kundalini Yoga, White Tantric Yoga® emphasizes the weaving together of energy and consciousness, highlighting the union of opposites and the integration of polarities. Practiced in a workshop setting, typically as a day-long or weekend event involving mostly sitting cross-legged, participants engage in six to eight Kundalini meditations lasting 31-62 minutes, each curated with a distinct purpose and various degrees of intensity. These kriyas often involve partner work, where individuals pair up to perform synchronized movements, breathwork, and meditations. The group dynamic enhances the potency of the practice, allowing for a profound exchange and acceleration of personal growth. The collective energy generated during the practice is believed to have a purifying and transformative effect, helping participants move towards a more authentic and balanced way of living.

The specific kriyas in White Tantric Yoga® are designed to break through mental, physical, and emotional blockages, clearing the subconscious mind and expanding one’s consciousness. Participants may encounter challenges and resistance during the process, but the intention is to facilitate personal breakthroughs and a deeper connection to the self. Despite all the challenges during the practice, White Tantric Yoga® blesses us while working with group consciousness among like-minded Kundalini yogis, fostering a beautiful and supportive vibe and providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow practitioners. After 6 to 8 hours of continuous meditation, you walk out with a refreshed and clear mind that has broken through subconscious blocks, enabling you to enjoy life fully.

White Tantric Yoga® can help release many burdens carried in the mind. When you see and act in each moment with clarity, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and your life can change. Your mind, body, and soul can act together as one, paving the path to personal freedom and awareness and bringing more success to every area of your life.

During the Winter Solstice of 2018, I attended my first White Tantric Yoga® Workshop in Lake Wales, FL. Uncertain about what to expect, I arrived with an open mind, ready to embrace whatever the Universe had in store for me. Before attending, I consciously decided not to bring my own partner, allowing the Universe to choose the right person for me.

As I walked into the white tent that would hold about 800 yogis meditating together, a handsome young man in his 30s asked me if I wanted to partner with him. I graciously accepted, as the workshop seemed mostly attended by women, and the few males present were much older than me. I believe he was one of the youngest males in the room. This was his first time practicing, and he must have sensed the same hesitations and concerns in me about what lay ahead. With my history of back injuries, I had serious concerns about how I would endure 6-8 hours of meditation sitting on a cushion.

As we entered the meditation area, everyone was dressed in full white, with heads fully covered by a white hat or cloth so that no hair could be shown. The energy in the room felt vibrant and calm, the space welcoming, and everyone kind and ready to assist without forcing anything on you. Despite initial worries about entering a cult or a spiritually stuck-up community, once through the doors, I felt that many people knew each other, and the space was filled with chatter and laughter.

Seated in rows facing each other, with alternating rows holding either the female or male energy, like a cloth woven together, participants envisioned the energy of the universe as both parallel and perpendicular. Similar to a cloth becoming stronger when stretched on the diagonal, the White Tantric Yoga® diagonal or ‘Z’ energy is stronger. This energy cuts through blocks stuck in the subconscious mind, connecting participants to the subtle body and their expanded state of consciousness. This process mirrors a worldwide telephone system, relying on satellites and electromagnetic energy to connect two parties.

On this particular day, the practice involved meditating while looking into the eyes of your partner, chanting mantras, and holding hands or specific mudras to circulate energy in a certain way.

After the first two meditations, I began to feel the stress and pain of sitting cross-legged for two hours. Despite wearing a spine brace to hold my spine straight throughout the day, each meditation became more challenging. As tears flowed freely from my eyes and my partner's, we shared our common back injuries and made adjustments to our arms and sitting positions, providing relief to each other when needed. My young partner was compassionate, friendly, supportive, and uplifting, holding space for me when necessary, and I was able to reciprocate.

I knew that my partner felt an attraction to a young woman sitting nearby. When her partner left before the last meditation, I suggested I leave too, so he could sit with her for the last round. My partner insisted I stay, kindly saying, “We started together; we should finish together. Tomorrow you are not coming back for session two, and I can try to sit with her.”

Overall, I found the experience to be profound and rejuvenating. The truth of the practice is revealed through firsthand experience. Participating in a White Tantric Yoga® workshop requires a willingness to be open, vulnerable, and committed to personal growth. I can attest to the transforming impact of the practice in my life, describing it as a catalyst for positive change, increased self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the universal energy flowing through all beings, both in 2018 and during my second attendance in 2023.
