Our Courses
Join the “University” of Life. New courses begin the week commencing Monday 21 September 2026.
The Courses
Tara Yoga Centre runs weekly evening courses in Yoga, Tantra and Kashmir Shaivism in London, Oxford and Plymouth. We believe that life is a mysterious succession of gifts waiting to be unwrapped: in our courses, ancient and esoteric practices and principles are revealed one by one, gradually unveiling all the potentials of life.
Much more than just a means to acquire knowledge or exercise the body, each course represents a complete spiritual path.

Why a weekly course?
Continuous practice and transformation
Rather than chasing retreat after workshop, we guide you week by week on a truly transformative path by systematically applying authentic methods. Through steady spiritual practice, limitations dissolve and a new quality of life emerges, one marked by greater happiness, inner freedom, fulfilment, balance and love.
Weekly dose of inspiration
Our students express how our courses offer so many profound insights that touch their heart and reveal fascinating layers of their inner universe. Classes also connect seekers with similar aspirations, and the state of unison created by shared spiritual practice offers a space of mutual inspiration and support.
Learning through direct experience
Students are never asked to have blind faith in the teachings, but are encouraged to practise with openness, becoming aware of the effects that appear in their life. The ancient wisdom of these paths is timeless and universal, providing value to anyone who wishes to grow, no matter the nature of their journey.
Alongside the courses
Our spiritual groups gather men and women separately to explore the spiritual dimension of being a man or a woman: a path of friendship, support and transformation walked together.

Coming to class is like discovering the clues and feedback for that moment when in need of guidance. The Tantra course has helped me to attain a new attitude towards life that is naturally optimistic, juicy and mysterious.
LinaArchitectIf you follow the course, you will transform your life like magic… this yoga class transformed my life: becoming, instead of thinking. I became the love I aspire to offer. I am so grateful for this course.
AlanYoga Course StudentI can say without exaggeration that joining Tara has been one of the most beneficial decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I have formed some of the deepest friendships of my life at Tara.

ChrissyHerbalistThe yoga course has opened my eyes to the vast mysteries and wonders of the universe, both within and without. In my heart I feel more love and compassion; in my mind, more lucidity and peace; in my body, more vitality and radiance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience?
No. The courses start from the very beginning and no knowledge or experience is assumed. We place far more emphasis on awareness and state of mind than on physical prowess, and beginners and experienced practitioners share the same class harmoniously.
What happens in a class?
Each weekly two-hour class combines a talk on the week's topic with guided practice: warm-up, postures or techniques, deep relaxation and meditation, with time for questions. You receive course notes at the end of each class so you can also practise at home.
Which course should I start with?
Most new students begin with Yoga or Tantra (Kashmir Shaivism returns in October 2027). Yoga is the path of the body and meditation; Tantra brings the teachings into everyday life and relationships. If you can't decide, the Try Tara Pass includes both, and many students attend both.
How long do the courses last?
They are ongoing: a new lesson every week, for as long as you wish to keep learning. Some students continue for a few months, many for years. There is no fixed end and no obligation; you can stop at any time.
Is this religious?
No. Tara is not affiliated with any religion and welcomes people of all beliefs and none. The courses draw on spiritual principles common to many traditions.
Can I join after courses begin in September?
We warmly encourage starting with the first classes, as each week builds on the last. That said, the courses remain open to new students for the first months (usually until mid-March), and late joiners catch up through the weekly course notes and the teachers.
