The most common definition of tantra is an instrument to expand the level of consciousness. The word Tantra has many meanings, each with its own nuance that depends on the context in which it’s used. The origins of Tantra are believed to date back to the sixth or seventh century A.D., though other scholars affirm its origins further back to the pre-Aryan period. Though this isn’t really true (White Tantra is clothes ON), Tantric philosophy is bound to the exploration of union – spiritual, emotional, and yes – sexual. In the Western world, we’ve been led to believe that all Tantra is centered on the sexual act. Whether you’re interested in trying White Tantra (I recommend it) or just want to know the truth about this mysterious form of yoga, here’s everything you need to know (and more) about it.
Charged with rumor and temptation and intimidating to the uninitiated, White Tantra is often an ecstatic experience that is said to open the whole universe to its dedicated students. Not for the faint of heart, White Tantra is unlike any other Western yoga practice you’ve probably tried. White Tantra, also called White Tantric Yoga® and trademarked by the 3HO organization, is a form of group meditation within the Tantric tradition. So…what is White Tantra? Why is anything labeled as ‘Tantra’ stigmatized in certain yogic circles?
