Illuminate your shadows. Embrace your powers.

Can you relate?

  • Life has changed. Even though you feel a lot of uncertainty, you know there is opportunity for deep personal and collective transformation and you are ready for it. 

  • You feel peace on your yoga mat or meditation cushion, but it doesn't seem to last when you re-enter the demands of life. 
  • You understand the value of yoga AND psychology; you want to learn how to bridge the two for yourself and your students.
  • You are ready to see your blindspots, understand your shadows and shift the narratives that keep you limited and hurting.

  • You are on a quest for wholeness and you want expert guidance and training in how to reclaim and integrate all parts of yourself.

  • You love a good story, and want to learn how you can apply myth, symbol and archetype for personal and collective healing.

Welcome! You are in the right place.

Are you ready to live your deepest desires?

Are you ready 
to live your
deepest desires?

Our world is hurting. Perhaps you are hurting too?


These past several months have brought us all to our edge as our world has radically changed. Our cultural shadows are being overtly exposed. Stresses are high as we face uncertainty on SO many levels.


From a mythic perspective we could consider this time a "dark night of the soul" and it may feel terrifying. 


However, the dark night of the soul is the exact moment where transformation is not only possible, but absolutely necessary. 


Our world needs this transformation. The shadows have been neglected and suppressed for far too long. It is time to face them and heal... and it begins with you.


As practitioners, teachers and wayshowers, 
we MUST do the
deeper work 
to fully own and awaken all parts of ourselves. 


This is the journey we will take together in Tantra Yoga Psychology: Myth, Archetype & the Soul's Quest.


The Soul's Quest is a quest for wholeness. It invites you to recognize and reclaim all parts of yourself — the shadow parts you've cast away, and the super powers you've not yet fully owned.


Let's get real... it is simply not enough to practice asana and/or meditate. Unintegrated shadow material can lead to spiritual bypass, relational conflict and deep suffering for yourself and others.


To experience what you most deeply desire, whether that be peace, love, courage, freedom or anything else, you need to address and integrate the contents of your unconscious mind. 


This is the practice these times call for.

This is the path that will change the world.


Tantra Yoga Psychology: Myth, Archetype & the Soul's Quest will give you the tools and wisdom to recognize your projections — that which triggers you, and that which you long for — and gather them back into yourself from those around you and the world. 


Only then are you able to fully embody and express your inner truth, clarity and love — your true power.


This course integrates the ancient teachings of Tantra Yoga with the skillful principles of Deep Psychology. Through the lens of myth, archetype, symbol and our own personal stories, we will heal the psyche, vitalize the body, and reclaim our wholeness.


Tantra Yoga Psychology is an invitation to embody the teachings in your everyday life experiences. 


This is essential for your personal, and our collective, healing and transformation.


Are you ready to begin?


Let's get started.


Namaste,

R.R. Shakti, Ph.D.



We are whole creatures in potential, and the true purpose of desire is to unfold that wholeness, to become what we can be.
— Eric Butterworth

The stories you tell yourself have immense power.


What if you realized that you are the victim, villain and hero of your own story? 

How would your personal narrative — and your life — change? 


Stories can harm and stories can heal. 


First, you must recognize the dynamics of your own psyche and how this shows up in the stories you tell yourself. Then you can consciously choose to be the author of your own life. 


Are you ready to reclaim your wholeness?

Tantra Yoga Psychology: Myth, Archetype & the Soul's Quest
is a six week journey to apply the wisdom
 of Tantra Yoga and Deep Psychology to your life.

Tantra Yoga focuses on the understanding that the Divine is accessible through your everyday human experience. Deep Psychology supports you to bring the  unconscious contents of your mind into the light of your awareness. Together, Tantra Yoga and Deep Psychology synergistically work together to heal your psyche, vitalize your body, and awaken your innate wholeness. 

Our mythic approach, grounded in practice and application, will give you the insight, knowledge and skills to integrate all parts of you — your shadows and your light. As you heal yourself you begin to heal the world.

We will focus on these core elements:

Wisdom 
Teachings

Weekly lectures weave myth and story with tantric teachings and deep psychology principles to build the foundation of your understanding.

Weekly Yoga
Practices

Embody the wisdom you are learning through asana, mantra and pranayama techniques focusing on deep alignment principles. 

Soul's Quest Guidance

Apply the teachings to your everyday experience with daily practices, guidance and tools designed to unfold your Soul's Quest.

Community Sangha

This is a personal AND collective journey. We will join in community to share our experiences, offer support and learn and grow together.

This program is for you if...

You are a modern yogi/yogini and you know that your practices must tend your everyday life experiences — including your relationships. 

You understand that psychology has a lot to offer yoga, and yoga has so much to offer psychology. You are ready to learn how these systems complement each other, and how to bridge the teachings for yourself and your students. 

You love myth and story. You want to learn how to work with stories as a tool for self discovery and healing and to be able to offer this to your students. 

You are a leader, on this planet for transformation. You know that you must do your inner work in order to embody the skills of leadership you desire and support the change you wish to see in the world. 

You are committed to going beyond spiritual bypass. You are ready to do the deep shadow work, own your projections and to take responsibility for your experiences.

You know that your humanity — the fullness of your emotions, sensations, and feelings — is divine. You are ready to live a tantric path of full, embodied expression.

This program will guide you through the extraordinary 
journey of your Soul's Quest to wholeness. 
You can expect to:

  • Bridge the expansion and awareness practices of Tantra Yoga with deep psychological understanding for healing, integration and wholeness
  • Cultivate a greater capacity to be with all parts of you — your human vulnerabilities and your connection to Infinite Creative Power — and thus all parts of others
  • Engage your imagination to activate and develop the story of your Soul’s Quest
  • Learn how to work with your personal narrative, identifying the symbols and archetypes that serve and limit you
  • Develop mindfulness rituals that deepen your embodied presence in every day life
  • Claim your inner power by exploring the archetypes of empowerment that reside within you
  • Illuminate and tend to your shadow parts that limit your creative freedom and cause suffering
  • Reintegrate your masculine/feminine qualities so you may develop meaningful, lasting relationships
  • Realize your Self as a whole person in full participation with the Creative Source of Life

What Students Are Saying

My experience of Shakti cannot fully be put into words. I’m always left with a profound sense of being loved, included, ‘up-leveled’ and empowered whenever I work with her. She not only is an amazing wealth of knowledge, she also embodies the depth of yoga and lives it in all aspects of her life. She has cultivated an exquisite capacity to lead, relate, and transmit the wisdom of her studies through living it, living in integrity with it and walking the path through her life experience. She is a true diamond in today’s evolving world and human consciousness. — Thomas Radke

Being a student of Shakti’s for more than ten years has given me the tools I need to face my shadows and expose my true light. Her innate wisdom to teach from the heart coupled with her genuine love of teaching, constantly inspires me to want to live my life from its highest potential as authentically as I can. Her gift and ability to share through storytelling makes learning from her a unique privilege unlike any other student/teacher experience. — Colleen Rose

Shakti is the kind of teacher you can practice and study with time and time again. Her unique transmissions encompass a multitude of layers. She is infinitely interesting and interested. In just one encounter, you’ll feel enriched and the teachings, the breadth she is capable of imprinting, will continue to expand and reveal itself for many moments to come.” — Erin Watkins

Shakti has a unique joyously maternal intensity that provides a balance rare in practice. She is gentle and powerful in equal measure, teasing students to stretch their tolerance for the sweet and the hidden aspects of themselves. As she guides you through class, she leads you on a journey colored with myth, tantra, science, love, and likely many giggles—and you follow her every step of the way. She is the teacher who reminds you of your true nature and reflects that back to you: she offers you an experience of yourself as love...and patiently waits for you to take it. — Gretchen Fruchey


The vast breadth and depth of Shakti’s wisdom and knowledge is perfectly matched and balanced by her expansive heart. She uses psychology and myth, holistic wisdom, experience, and the ancient texts and stories of yoga to infuse all of her teachings. She possesses a profound understanding of life and living as well as of death and dying. Shakti is thoughtful, spiritual, and sage. She teaches with grace from the depth of her own eternal light and shines it radiantly on everyone she meets. She IS Inner Power. She is love. I am continually grateful for the fortune that brought her into my life. It will be a lifelong connection. — Ingrid Sepahpur


My life began feeling quite different after my first experience with Shakti, her energy and teachings are ones I will take with me all through life. I learned the modality of love from Shakti and if we are going to change the hearts of others then we have to be the embodiment of love. In a world desperately seeking love, Shakti has managed to be an effortless and endless wellspring for others and herself. I am forever grateful to not only be student but as Shakti says “a student/teacher/friend”. — Casey McVay
