March 16, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Mat resistance. Happens to the best of us, no matter how long we’ve been practicing. Here’s a glimpse into a moment of mat resistance in my life, back in 2013.

The 1000 Day Tantrik Yoga Practice: Failed Attempt #2

March 2, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

There it was, in black and white, blazoned across the Google search results, Tantra and sex, everywhere: “Tantra worship has flourished in popularity in the Western World, establishing a reinterpretation of Hindu and Buddhist practices.

What’s the Difference between Yoga and Tantra?

September 9, 2019 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Before I share on Yoga and Tantra, from my own direct experience, on this question, it’s useful to examine the question itself – which is a question people often ask me. The question assumes that there IS a difference between Yoga and Tantra, as if they are two separate things – like a chair and …
