Vira Group
Biweekly men’s group in London
A man’s character is forged through his successful actions
The Vira Group will start 17th January 2024 and is open to all our members – including Try Tara Pass holders, who are currently attending one or more of our courses in Yoga, Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism and/or Astrology. Become a member by signing up for one or more course with the Try Tara Pass.
In Sanskrit, Vira, means “man” or “hero” and it refers to one who has awakened the traits of a spiritual hero within his being, who no longer compromises on the path of his spiritual growth. Each man has this potential inside, but true heroes and exemplary role models are hard to find; masculinity is in crisis.
The purpose of the Vira Group is to work towards truly awakening your masculine soul; learning to remain centred, relaxed and loving in the face of ever greater intensity and challenges in life (Shakti), to appreciate beauty, to live a more vivid and inspiring life, and make conscious life-choices which you can then follow through with all of your being.
Life will always rise to test us and the Vira Group trains men to truly overcome these tests, to rise to meet fears and challenges in a conscious and courageous, yet loving way.
The group will make use of Tantric methodology. Tantra emphasises the importance of the game of polarity – the interaction between the masculine and feminine energy. Much emphasis will be placed on understanding this polar interaction, or the game of these energies both within the being, and in the interaction with life. Engaging your energies – your emotions, thoughts and attitudes correctly – helps in developing as a man and in transforming quickly.
Through presentations, activities, exercises and yoga practises, many fundamental aspects of masculinity will be explored in the Vira group, such as:
- A man’s place and role in the modern world
- Willpower and how to amplify it
- The importance of consciousness and awareness for a man
- Amorous erotic continence (sometimes referred to as becoming “multi-orgasmic”)
- Polarising, or controlling energy and giving it direction
- The dynamics of couple relationships
- Balancing the material and spiritual aspects of life
- Understanding your higher purpose

Every 6 – 8 weeks the Vira group will meet with the counterpart Shakti group for a joint meeting.
These meetings are an opportunity to put all the attitudes and skills developed in the respective groups into practice, in order to experience the game of polarity tangibly. These meetings are not sexual in any way. They have an intimate, playful and romantic atmosphere.

The Vira class brought me exactly what I needed most in my life: a brotherhood where we are all aligned to a common purpose and growing together. It also opened my eyes to what kind of man I want to become and grow into.

In the Vira group I finally found a group of men with whom I see myself reflected, who have a sense that there is much yet unseen, a sea of potentiality, and are willing to put all the effort required to remove the veil. This inspires me and helps me persevere in my practice.
