Swa Tantra

Embodied Tantric Hatha Yoga Immersion

With Bec Isaacs and Irene Ais
June 25-30, 2024
Byron Hinterlands

 

Though studio classes can be have powerful positive effects on practitioners, there is no substitute for immersing yourself in a curated container to truly and fully be immersed in yogic practice.

Our days together will consist of embodying complete tantric Hatha practice, including asana, pranayama, mantra, bandha and meditation supported by workshops sharing the underlying frameworks of Hatha, Tantra and Samkhya Philosophy.

Crafted as an all inclusive residential Immersion to nourish you deeply and support you fully while we immerse in daily practice, self-connection, study, community, and togetherness.

Time and space to turn inward with days of deep introspection, quietude & expansion.

This is a rare opportunity to immerse in lineage-based practices, supported by two passionate, dedicated and experienced integrative teachers.

Your Facilitators

Irene Ais - The Bridge yoga school

Bec Isaacs

Ever since we (Irene and Bec) met through Tantric Hatha practice we have dreamed of collaborating together.

Now we can finally invite you to what our combined passion has birthed - SWA TANTRA, an immersion into Tantric Hatha Yoga.

Irene Ais is a master facilitator, teacher trainer and Integrative Physiotherapist with more than 20 years experience in Yoga and Meditation. 

Bec Isaacs is an experienced and dedicated teacher of Tantric Hatha Yoga and Remedial Yoga, using these foundations melded with Philosophy to empower people to live their fullest life.

Between the two of us we have facilitated many dozens of immersions, courses, and teacher trainings and we are both still
dedicated students of Yoga. We believe that our greatest teaching emerges from our own direct experience of the practice. And so, we are offering this immersion.


This experience will take place in a safe, inclusive learning and practice environment.

Practitioners and teachers of all ages, genders, cultures and experience levels are welcome.

All meals during Swa Tantra will be tri-doshic, cooked in honour of Ayurvedic principles, in support of the season, and prepared with sattvic ingredients. This way of eating will ensure that you are deeply nourished throughout the immersion.

All meals are vegetarian, naturally gluten free and made with 80% organic ingredients with all produce sourced locally from the farmer’s markets. All meals are cooked in non toxic cookware with organic coconut oil or ghee.
