What is “TriDosha Balancing”?Was ist “TriDosha Balancierung”?“TriDosha Dengeleme” nedir?
The TriDosha Balancing Asana Series is an integrative practice of the Traditional Tantra Yoga system taught at Shri Kali Ashram in Goa, India. The asanas are gentle, yet firm and challenging, leading one to a practice beyond competition and physical appearance but into a meditative experience of one’s True Self. Kaula (Tantra) Yoga teaches subconscious relaxation. With regular practice you integrate this serenity into all day life and subsequently transcend to a wholesome perspective of yourself and your environment. As you develop a spiritual identity, you flow towards a loved fulfilled life and absolute personal freedom.

“TARİFİ MÜMKÜN OLMAYANIN tarifi
Bana derslerimiz hakkında değerlendirme yazar mısın? diye sorduğunda içimden ne kadar zor bir şeye evet dediğimin farkındaydım; deneyimsel soyut bir şeyleri somut kelimelerle ifade etmeye çalışacaktım ki Tantra Yoga gevşemeyi ve BİR liği hücrelerinize öğrettiğiniz, üç saatlik masal gibi bir çalışma sonunda gökyüzünde akışa geçtiğiniz bir şey.. Kendi kendine yegane olan bir şeyi kıyaslama yapma imkanı olmadan anlatabilmek imkansıza yakın bir şey daha önce iki yıla yakın yoga çalıştım, ilk yoga dersimde yaşadığım huzur ve dinginlikten sonra daha ötesi olabilir mi diyordum ? Ayse Yufkayürek’le yaptığımız Tantra Yoga çalışmalarından sonra her seferinde aynı soruyu sormaktayım daha ötesi nedir ? var mıdır? Anlatılması her denenmesinde kıfayetsiz kalacak bu deneyimi herkesin kendince yaşamasının en iyisi olacağını ifade ederek, YÜREĞİ hakiki manada YUFKA olan hocama kelimelere sığmayacak şükranlarımı sunarak bu güne kadar bilebildiğim edinmiş olduğum yaşam deneyimlerinin ZİRVE sini bana yaşattığı için teşekkürü borç bilirim.”
Faruk AYDIN, July 2014
“A wholesome approach to life Ayse’s education in Yoga and Tantric philosophy in India has provided her with a worldview as well as a set of values that proved immensely helpful in her goal to become a well balanced and satisfied person, that is able to love herself and others and which sees herself as being part of one wholeness. The principles that guide her in her everyday approach to life are honest, natural and sustainable in nature.
I can say all these things about her because I experienced them during a time when I was in grave need of getting in touch with my feelings and the belief in and understanding of “love”. Ayse was there for me during this time, which doesn’t mean that she always told me what I wanted to hear. She told me what she thought was right based on her principles and values, and which ultimately proved so valuable to me.”

“The workshop awakened lots in me like a challenging side I won’t yield to the obstacles, I can concentrate more and I feel like there is a clarity in my thoughts and feelings and soul as well. I was doing meditation but now I can even benefit more from it and get into that concentrated state easily. I also feel more strong. Thank you for all of this. I really feel that what we experienced there is our reality.”

“Namaste! Her şeyden önce şunu itiraf etmeliyim ki, yogaya başlamak gerçekten hayatımı derinden etkileyen bir süreç oldu. Değişik yoga türlerini içeren derslere katıldım. Bu derslerden biri de Ayşe’den aldığım Tantra Yoga dersi oldu. Diğer yoga türlerinden farklı olarak Tantra Yoga, bende çok değişik hisler uyandırdı. Bedenime daha farklı bir gözle bakmamı sağlayıp farkındalığımı arttırdı. Asanalar sonrasında Şavasana’ya dönüşler, gerçek benlik farkındalığımı geliştirdi diyebilirim. Ayşe’nin rahatlatıcı ses tonu ve yönlendirmeleri, tüm ders boyunca rahat ve dingin olmamı sağlayan çok önemli bir etkendi benim için
Eğer siz de farkındalığınızı arttırmanın yollarını arıyorsanız, belki size de bunun yolunu Tantra Yoga açabilir. “Bir” olma yolunda uygulanabilecek farklı yöntemler arasında Tantra Yoga’nın yeri benim için gerçekten çok ayrı. Elbette herkesin kendi yolunu bir şekilde bulacağına inancım tam. Sevgilerimle. Namaste!”

Ayurvedic Therapy MassageAyurvedisches “Fuss Auflegen”
Having always been a fan of firm and deep tissue massages, this Ayurvedic whole body massage, which I learned while studying Yoga and Tantra in India, has been my favorite of all kinds. People of various cultures all throughout the world practice a similar kind of massage. It is truly a unique, relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Feet and hands are used to apply controlled pressure and strokes on accupressure points throughout your body. These noticeable points and their effectiveness is that they work by stimulating the nadi system (energy channels) to bring immediate relief by rebalancing your prana (whole energy flow). This stimulation enhances circulation and flexibility, keeping your body supple and strong. The body’s toxin’s and lymphatic waste is massaged away, which helps to maintain elasticity of fiber muscles.
For Yogis, a good routine of massage is important to maintain this suppleness of the body in order to proceed in yoga asanas.
Of course, massage is also most supportive in maintaining a positive mood and healthy vitality. If you are physically or mentally stressed, you cannot naturally relax. Massage gives you an immediate release from stress. Though to prolong this relaxation and prevent physical and mental tensions to build up in the first place, you must practice and integrate yoga.
