Traditional Tantra Yoga - Tri Dosha Balancing Series

The Tri Dosha Balancing Series is a traditional and distinctive Tantrik Yoga practice rooted in the Kaula lineage of classical Tantra, bringing together Tantra and Ayurveda through a precise sequence of 36 āsanas, prāṇāyāma, bandhas, meditation and deep relaxation. Working with the qualities of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, the practice aims to harmonise and optimise the whole system: body, breath, nervous system and subtle energy. This is a slow, gentle and deeply meditative practice. The postures are generally held for longer periods, with much of the practice taking place lying down. Between postures, periods of Śavāsana and stillness allow the whole system to settle and integrate. The practice is intentionally guided with minimal verbal cueing. You are invited to keep your eyes closed for most of the practice, turning your attention away from the external world and towards your own inner landscape. Deep, rhythmic chest breathing is incorporated throughout the practice, supporting nervous system regulation, relaxation and meditation. As the body progressively softens, the conscious mind becomes quieter, creating more space in the body, the breath and the mind. From relaxation into meditation At the heart of Tri Dosha is deep relaxation as a doorway to meditation. Instead of trying to control, improve or fix your experience, you are invited to slow down, listen and allow. Throughout the practice, you are repeatedly invited to relax the muscles, the organs and the whole body, learning to release effort and surrender into what is already here. As the system becomes deeply relaxed, consciousness can move into quieter states associated with theta activity and the subconscious mind. Thoughts, emotions, sensations, beliefs and habitual patterns may come into awareness. Nothing needs to be rejected or changed; you simply create space to experience what arises. The Tantric perspective Tri Dosha is ultimately a practice of self-discovery, self-understanding and recognising the nature of your experience. In the Kaula Tantric view, everything is an expression of the Absolute. Existence itself is Līlā, the divine play. You are not practising because something is fundamentally wrong with you that needs to be fixed or healed. You practise to remember what you really are beyond conditioning. Through relaxation, awareness and surrender, you slowly begin to let go of the stories and attachments through which you normally define yourself, creating space to recognise your deeper nature. Entering the Zero State As the practice deepens, relaxation gradually becomes stillness, and stillness opens the possibility of entering what is known within the tradition as the Zero State. As the body, breath, senses and conscious mind become increasingly quiet, your ordinary experience of time, space and sensory perception can fall away. The usual sense of being a separate individual becomes less defined, and awareness can become expansive. As you let go of stories and attachments, you may experience yourself beyond your usual limitations, as the infinite. The Zero State is not something to force or achieve. It emerges through progressively relaxing, releasing and surrendering. In this space, you may experience moments of non-dual awareness and recognise what has always been present beneath your usual identification: consciousness, love and bliss.
