Tantra Yoga

Most Westerners have a very shallow view of Tantric Yoga - they only see the sexual side. In reality, Tantra is a very deep and esoteric discipline which channels the creative energies in the direction of permanent enlightenment. Yes, sacred sex is a part of it, but this is not something to be taken casually! Here are some sites which will show you how much Tantric Yoga encompasses.
