Probably the most misunderstood of all the yoga forms practiced in the West, Tantra yoga has the essence of the ancient teachings. In its purest manifestation, Tantra yoga grew out of the ancient civilization in the Indus Valley and it pursued to help people reach the form of non-duality along the most sacred of paths. The present-day sexual concept of Tantra yoga is in fact a defilement of the sacred essence of the practice and it is the direct consequence of the misinterpretation of some Indian texts by people who did not know how to translate them. The difficulty results from the abundance of metaphors used in Tantra yoga teachings particularly because  they expressed experiences that had to be experienced individually as consciousness forms.

Tantra yoga insists on the heart focus and the perception of the world through the experience of love and harmony that are also common concepts to taoist Chinese philosophy and to the biblical texts. Various divisions can be identified within Tantra yoga too, and this is obvious in the Tibetan Tantra yoga school and its teaching. In Tibet, the practice of Tantra yoga grew only in the monastic environment most of the time and it got to be explained on paper in very much the way it was expressed in speech.

According to Tantra yoga practice, the superior path to take is that of love-will-wisdom which is complexly corresponding to heart-hand-head, with all the elements joined in harmony. It all starts with love and the practice of yoga stresses the importance of the becoming process rather than the achievement of the goal. The sexual bias added to Tantra yoga represent a corruption of the pure practice thus, instead of the balancing of the yin and yang within each of us, Tantra yoga is believed to seek the union with another person.

You should choose guidance in the secrets of Tantra yoga very cautiously  since lots of so-called yoga masters are far from being accomplished in the practice. If the line of the tradition were to be respected, then, the leading of a trainee on the Tantra yoga path falls into the responsibility of a guru who has gone a long way on the journey for self discovery too. In terms of overall goal, like many other yoga variants, Tantra aims at the spiritual awakening of any being and the fulfillment that results from enjoying sheer freedom at all levels of existence.
