Doing yoga with Cara Shanti was a beautiful experience .

Her approach is more somatic and therapeutic 🩵

Her class overall felt like meditation and exactly what I needed . 🌻

Cara crafted a custom yoga set for rehabilitating my hip & pelvis from a recent surf injury.  I really appreciated the tilt she spent customizing the 1:1 session for my specific injury.  Also - communication via WhatsApp was prompt and clear from the start.

Cara is a wonderful guide and instructor.  Check her classes out if you’re in Puerto Escondido and let her tell you more about a cacao experience.

Cara is wonderful and I’m so happy to have been able to book a session during my stay in Puerto.

With her experience and understanding of embodiment therapy she kindly suggested we included cacao in the practice to help me find realignment following a bereavement.

Through a combination of meditation, movement and education about various points within my body, she helped me find a really beautiful feeling of release in just one session.

Not only does she make you feel safe to let go, she helps to give you the tools and guidance to continue making yourself feel more whole again. Thank you, Cara! ♥️

Caroline’s yoga class provided a harmonious blend of invigorating poses and calming mindfulness. Her soothing guidance made a serene space that allowed me to connect deeper, plus she has a really deep knowledge in yoga.
I love her classes and I highly recommend her 🫶🏻✨

The class that I attended with Caroline was a beautiful mixture of yin yoga and meditation. It was well balanced with postures that allowed me to get a deep stretch in all the places I needed it. Caroline’s direction is very clear and she’s helpful with corrections. The meditation at the end was really relaxing as well, I felt very present and at peace. Thanks Caroline! I will definitely be attending your other classes.

Cara is so lovely, patient and well informed with her yoga. I had little to no yoga experience and she was really kind and slow with me. She came to my place, which was so convenient and she showed me different styles of yoga that would fit my preference and body. She always starts with a lovely meditation and pushes your body but in a very kind way. She goes above and beyond, she even bought me a journal for me to jot my thoughts down in between sessions. Would highly recommend to anyone doing yoga in Puerto!

About Traditional Tantra & Embodiment

You probably heard different definitions for Tantra.

One thing is sure, Tantra doesn’t mean “sex”, as most people and schools in the Western World tend to promote. Plenty of Tantric texts don’t talk about sex at all. If some do, it’s because sex is the core energy of our existence, and should be embraced rather than repressed.

The Sanskrit term Tantra simply means “book”, or “technique”.

The first time the term Tantra was used, was to define any kind of book that teaches spiritual knowledge.

Nowadays, I would personally define Tantra as an energetic approach to self-realization, using a myriad of rituals like meditation, pranayama, yoga or mantra…

In Tantra Yoga, we base our practice on our chakras and use them to connect with our true selves.

Embodied Yoga is a type of yoga that brings deeper insights to its practitioners, we could also call it somatic yoga. Our body is composed of memory cells that keep information from our past, like childhood trauma for example. By practising some somatic exercises and postures, we can finally allow our body and mind to let go of our past.

Embodiment Therapy can also be used to reach some specific life goals (leadership, finding your life purpose…)
