Our Tantra Yoga Module requires the completion of the preceding level prior to joining the subsequent one. In this case, completion of Level 1 is required before joining Level 2 and completion of Level 2 is required before joining Level 3. Completion means having attended a minimum of 80% of the teachings.
Tantra Yoga Levels 2 and 3
Become a true aspirant
Tantra Yoga Levels 2 and 3 expand upon and magnify the knowledge and practice gained in Level 1. This is the next step in your spiritual evolution through the tantric treasures. Here the teachings of Hatha, Laya and Kriya yogas advance; you will begin the preparation for pranayama and get intimately acquainted with deeper yogic philosophy and the laws of the mind.
These teachings will strengthen your spiritual aspiration, sharpen your concentration, give spiritual empowerment through daily Yoga and meditation practice with your peers. You can expect to be inspired by profound lectures and satsangs.
Within our comprehensive Yogic Path the Tantra Yoga module is like the trunk of the tree – the most important pillar, which your evolution stands on. Levels 2 and 3 are the continuation of our spiritual journey.

Red Sash Exam
Completing the Level 3 designates the end of the first major step in your evolution through the Tantra Yoga module. At the end of this program you will take the Red Sash Exam or otherwise named the aspirant’s examination, which tests your proficiency in the yogic practice, science and knowledge gained so far in the first three levels.
The exam includes theoretical multiple-choice questions on all of the material covered in Levels 1 to 3, as well as practical assignments – such as accurate performance of any of the techniques learned in these levels, prolonged execution of certain techniques and other exercises.
The details of the Red Sash Exam will be disclosed at the respective Level 3 retreat. Personal practice of the teachings and techniques of all the prior levels is needed to pass the Red Sash Exam successfully.
We recommend that you take with you all your notes and booklets of the prior levels to revise for the Red Sash Exam.

What do I need to bring with me for this retreat?
The specific items you are required to bring with you depend on the particular country and venue where we are holding the Level 2 and Level 3 retreat. You will receive an email with detailed instructions well before the retreat begins.
It is recommended to bring with you all the notes and booklets of the previous levels (Level 1 and Level 2 etc). These are helpful to review during Level 2 and will help prepare you for the Red Sash Exam at the end of the Level 3 retreat.
What if I do not pass the Red Sash Exam at the end of Level 3?
In the unlikely event of you not passing the exam, you will have the opportunity to retake the exam at a later time. Our teachers will prepare you in the best possible way and with some effort from your side you will be well prepped.
Successful passing of this exam is needed to enrol in Tantra Yoga Level 4 and further retreats.
How many hours of Yoga and meditation will be practiced daily?
This can vary. On average, a full day will be between 7-8 hours of teaching and practice, with breaks organized throughout the day for rest and revitalization.
Each day consists of 3-4 hours of asana or Yoga practice, 1-2 hours of meditation and 1-3 hours of theoretical teachings. Occasional supplemental satsangs or spiritual discourses will be offered in the evenings.
