It acknowledges that levels of conditioning, shame and
addiction need to be processed in order to access and enjoy
sexual energy in a safe and non-erotic context. It aims
to integrate sexual energy/desire into a deeper connection
with self and life, becoming more alive and creative in
every moment, with no need for frustration, repression,
excess or needing to act on sexual urges.
It utilises the chakra system as a map for the development
of the human system on all levels.
It focuses equally on the inner journey of all course
participants and then directs this inner knowing
and experience into
becoming a teacher, ensuring that teachers only teach
what they know. Participants understand from the
theory and
relating this to their own personal process. By sharing
in the process of their fellow participants they
discover how unique we all are and how to meet the
needs of various
individuals and diverse groups with care and safety.
It focuses on creating sacred space, carefully planning
the themes of classes to bring spiritual understanding
and the careful sequencing of classes to promote
both safety and understanding.
The level of care in the holding of the group
space during the training will be training in itself and
this will be explicitly taught in the second year of the
training, so that participants become safe, sensitive and
strong teachers/holders of transformational space.
The
Full Spectrum Tantra Yoga Academy aims to make eastern teachings
accessible and practical to a western audience and to equip its
teachers to do the same. The Academy welcomes individuals of any
gender and sexual orientation and the teachings and practices are
relevant to all.

 A
brief history of the Academy
Landa Ananda Love studied her level 1 yoga
teacher training, chakra dance and yoga in dance with
Paula Mayura (Mayura
Yoga Academy), whose teaching style comes from her teachers – Derek
Lucas ( BWY, Hatha Yoga), Godfri Devereux (Windfire Yoga,
Madhyamika Tantra) and Integral Yoga (Sri Swami Satchidananda)
and also includes a particular specialism in teaching the
chakras and the energy system. The Mayura Academy’s
teachings are based largely on the teachings of Patanjali,
Sri Swami Satchidananda and Swami Satyananda Saraswati
and the philosophy of Vedanta as presented in the Upanishads.
Prior to studying with the Mayura Yoga Academy Landa
studied and attended retreats for 5 years with
the School of Economic
Science who teach the philosophy of Vedanta and the teachings
of Shri Shantananda Saraswati, who was also a disciple
of Swami Sivananda (as was Swami Satyananda Saraswati)
in addition to western philosophy. She worked with one
of the faculty to produce a presentation to bring the
teachings of the school to exercise professionals
as a means to improve
performance. Following this experience she integrated
the knowledge gained from it into the teaching
of mindfulness/presence
exercises in the corporate world and university lecturing.
Following
her studies with Mayura Yoga, Landa then went on to
study Tandava (ancient tantric yoga ‘dance’ practice)
with Ruth Noble and Daniel Odier, Bodymind Therapy
with Ruth Noble, Chakra Yoga and Bioenergetics with
