“Learning to live in Bliss”

Are you ready to awaken to a life overflowing with vitality, love, and conscious transformation?

Do you feel the stirring of a deeper calling—a desire to harmonise your sexual energy and channel it into profound creativity and spiritual awareness? 

Imagine unlocking the mysteries of your inner world and embracing a life of deeper connection, balance, and transcendence.

This 5 days retreat invites you on an extraordinary journey of initiation into the first level of Cosmic Cobra Breath, an advanced tantric practice revered as the pinnacle of Kriya Yoga. This sacred gift, bestowed upon humanity by Mahavatar Babaji, has been veiled in secrecy for centuries, a treasure reserved for those prepared to honour its transformative power.

The Power of the Cobra Breath

Cobra Breath is not merely a technique; it is an ancient gateway to awakening your life force energy, also known as kundalini. Kundalini is the essence of consciousness itself, often expressed as sexual energy. When harnessed and guided upward, it becomes a force of illumination and renewal. Cobra Breath transfigures this energy, opening your third eye and allowing you to perceive the deeper truths hidden behind the illusions of daily life. It empowers you to step beyond the role of victim in your personal drama and embrace the Witness—the eternal observer within.

This oral tradition, too sacred to be written, prepares your body and mind for the safe and intentional rise of kundalini energy. Through the practice of Cobra Breath, you will begin to align every dimension of your being, experiencing a profound balance that fosters physical strength, emotional serenity, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening.

What awaits for you in this course:

This intensive course offers a profound fusion of ancient tantric wisdom, yogic practices, and transformative techniques designed to release emotional blocks and awaken your inner bliss. Guided by an atmosphere that is both playful and deeply meaningful,
you will:

• Immerse yourself in the philosophy and practices of Tantra

• Experience the subtle energies of Oneness and group ecstasy

• Learn to transmute sexual energy into creative and spiritual power

• Explore your divine humanness in its shadow and light

• Dissolve energetic blocks and heal stored emotions at a cellular level

• Reconnect with your heart's true longing and manifest your dreams

While sexual practices are openly discussed, this course does not involve explicit sexual activity. It is a safe and sacred space suitable for both singles and couples.

The teachings will be offered in English.

The Gifts of Cobra breath

When you begin the practice of Cobra Breath, you embark on a journey that enriches your entire life. This is not a quick fix or a promise of instant enlightenment but a practice that, with patience and humility, transforms your inner and outer worlds. Through daily practice, you will learn to:

• Awaken kundalini energy and connect sexuality with spirituality

• Open your heart and deepen your relationships

• Rejuvenate your body and inspire creative potential

• Expand your consciousness and embrace your highest self

Cobra Breath reverses the downward flow of sexual energy, alchemizing it into spiritual gold. By magnetizing the cerebrospinal fluid, this sacred breath electrifies the nervous system and awakens the brain, allowing new levels of consciousness to emerge. This practice is a profound step on the path of Tantra Kriya Yoga, preparing you for higher levels of initiation and transformation.

Ipsalu Tantra International is a time honoured school which values integrity and offers insightful practices in a consistent four level path.

The Call to Transformation

If you feel the pull of this ancient practice and the promise of profound change, trust that calling. Level 1 of Cobra Breath is a life-changing experience, an initiation into the mysteries of Tantra Kriya Yoga that can open the door to a lifetime of spiritual exploration and growth. As you integrate this practice into your daily life, you will find yourself living more as “Love”—radiating presence, compassion, and authenticity in all that you do.

This journey awaits those ready to embrace it. Are you ready to take the first breath?
