I'm Vikki, the teacher at Blisslight Yoga. My own Yogic journey began with a personal insight while doing my day job as a nurse. It became clear to me that that my passion for helping people and supporting positive change was leading me deeper into the ancient science of Yoga. I realise through my own life expereinces and working with those in physical or emotional need my curiousity and drive is finding the source of real happiness and fulfillment, now and though our lives. After completing an advanced program with Happy Minds and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training I journeyed out to India to study Tantra Yoga at Shri Kali Ashram. Yoga and Tantra offer life altering perspectives integrated at a subconscious level to make ones experience deeply fulfilling. I look forward to sharing these amazing sciences with you.

Tantra yoga is a traditional form of yoga taken from the ancient Rg Vedic texts. Classes include a series of postures for rebalancing your health and whole being. Vikki is the only teacher in Scotland teaching this system of Hatha yoga (Traditional Tantra Yoga). The Tri Dosha balancing series is part of a complete spiritual science taught in India by her teacher Bhagavan Shanmukha who studied Right and then Left Hand Tantra with his grandparents and then a teacher from North Eastern India Shri Ma Gurumayi respectively. Bhagavan has been sharing his wealth of knowledge around the world for
4 decades now. Tantrics study the texts for many years and understand the science of wholesome health and wellbeing.

This style of yoga is focused on strengthening, relaxing and re-energizing the whole body system. You are encouraged into deep meditation during class to rebalance and rebuild your whole self. The weekly classes consist largely of postures, breath and meditation. Most people familiar with Hatha yoga will recognise many elements of this style. Tantra Yoga is low impact and great for building the body slowly. It's suitable for those with weight issues and other physical challenges. For more about Tantra Yoga (including misconceptions about sexuality rituals) click here.

What to expect in class 

This class includes the Tantra Yoga balancing series each week, this varies very little allowing your practice to become second nature, you do it without thinking consciously about it, and this allows you to focus on the sensation of the practice. There is frequent rest in between Asanas (postures) which are guided in a direct and specific manor as you learn the series the teacher becomes a cue to flow between poses your body already remembers. 

Breaths in the Tantra system are slow, long and continually expanding which increases lung capacity and balances health. You are encouraged to re-culture yourself during your practice and learn to link exhaling with the sensation of relaxing and letting go, to link your own body with confidence and enjoyment and your practice with a blissful experience rather than a work out. 

The series is taught with Asanas held for 30 to 60 seconds which allows the time to notice how you cope with the posture and make a choice to adjust and rest or continue. This slow mindful approach makes the Tantra yoga series great for people with existing injuries or stiffness allowing them to build strength and flexibility over time.  

The teaching style is more hands off than some other schools, you will be adjusted if you are doing something dangerous or have not understood the instruction but the Tantra philosophy promotes personal freedom and responsibility with translates into more subtly guiding students into discovering their own bodies over a period of time. This culturing body feel and body confidence means students find a change in their self-concept, posture and coordination as they progress. 

Much of the main class is practised with eyes closed listening for the verbal cue to move and breathe, this encourages students to remain self-aware. Students can find they can drop into dream state during or at the end of class whilst still able to follow the teachers guidance. This ability to fall into trance develops and grows and for many people provides a much needed break from the jumble of their everyday thought processes. This focus on meditation during practice also serves to balance the body, subtly underpinning the Tantra system which aims to harmonize and synchronize the physical emotional, psychological, spiritual and every other aspect of us as complete beings.

If you want to talk one to one please arrange to meet me early before class or stay behind and chat afterwards, some nights I have to run off to work or close the studio, others I can get a coffee or talk in the yoga room. I can give general advise about health but you should also check with your GP or specialist before coming to class.
