About

For me Tantra is all about transformation and evolution of consciousness, which brings ultimate freedom. Extremely liberating, Tantra is a balsam for the soul that is both optimistic and enlivening. Its practice and a lifestyle facilitates inner awakening to our own divinity and the divinity in all things. All is Shakti and therefore sacred. With this in mind we can see life experiences with eyes of wisdom, as all of life is our teacher and we are in the arms of the Great Mother. The more we open and surrender the more we receive. We can begin to feel and sense universal energies, understand why things happen and feel a greater sense of joy just to be alive.
Tantra is that which lifts the veil to other levels of existence previously unknown to us. These methods are both sacred and secret; yet are revealed in the proper moment. Life becomes a dance, a beautiful manifestation of love and higher expressions of the truth that is within, as well as the mystical aspects of the cosmic realm. Tantra is a gift to humanity as it guides the soul to its own potential that was previously dormant, while giving permission for total happiness and satisfaction while living in the world. It unites that which we can touch and see with that that is beyond the senses. Ultimate union, bliss and heightened intuition become naturally established in the Tantrika who takes up this path with enthusiasm, devotion and surrender.

ABOUT ME

Since Yogini Gopika was a young girl, she was in love with the deep beauty and peace found in Nature. For her, life was always full of magic and mystery. Upon getting her first “real job” after college, she can remember a heartfelt longing for something greater: “there must be more to life than this”. Once she discovered yoga, everything transformed and she made a swift exit from mainstream society in search of life’s true meaning.

She journeyed to India and made her home in Vrindavan, the land of Radha Krishna; where every step is a dance and every word is a song. Her life fell into a rhythm with the Universe and the Divine. Everything became spiritualized. Living in this ancient holy place known for awakening prema; (divine ecstatic love) brought about purification of her heart.

OPENING TO TRANSFORMATION
Immersion in the culture of bhakti and deep sadhana opened a portal through which Gopika began to restructure her personality and raise her consciousness. Ayurveda, the art of living in exquisite balance, gave her the foundation on which to create greater harmony within herself and the outside world. In her quest for enlightenment; self- love and self-care became paramount as she faced many challenges that would later become strengths. Her outer journey turned inward.

Gopika began to question the external expectations and  conservatism that she found all around her in traditional India. There was a deep desire for a more authentic and spontaneous approach to spirituality. She realized she had taken a detour, by sacrificing too much for her beloved, as many women do, and giving away her personal power; fearing her own magnificence and its implications.  Facing the dark depths of her soul; supported by the universe, she was able to gradually embrace self sovereignty; just like the metamorphosis a caterpillar makes into a butterfly. Stepping out of the small self and into her personal power was a big lesson on Gopika’s path towards the expression of her soul’s innate beauty.

TANTRIC EXPRESSION
All this time she was naturally practicing Tantra, weaving together spiritual practices with her own intuitive capacities, to create a more boundless and fearless existence. Her purpose has always been intuitively Tantric: to expand and move beyond limitations to bring out her fullest potential. Her mission is to use her gifts to inspire others to do the same. It is her greatest joy to share the light and love that yoga’s wisdom has to offer; guiding others to find their own unique expression of a deeply satisfying soulful life, an enchanted existence.

Gopika has been teaching yoga’s essence for the past 16 years in India, Nepal and the USA. Her expertise includes a variety of yoga classes, personal coaching, seminars on holistic wellness, Goddess Embodiment programs and Tantra Yoga Teacher Training courses.
