Welcome to

Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga!

TMY is a clear & comprehensive path to self-realization, emphasizing the Path of Practice and the Oral Teachings of the Great Adepts (Mahāsiddhas) of the Non-dual Dharma Traditions, including Trika Śaivism & Dzogchen. 

How to Get Started in TMY

The advice from our ancient masters is that “The Path is the Goal”. The goal of enlightenment can seem impossible to comprehend or to attain. Because of this we are advised to focus on the Path itself as the goal. Practicing in this way is fulfilling because we always feel that we are already in the fruit of practice. There’s no “one right way” to get started in your TMY path of practice. Our system of practice can be entered in many different ways. We encourage you to find the way that is right for you. You may choose to attend the online courses, cohorts or in-person retreats that pique your interest. These can be found in the full course schedule. Or you may be looking for a more structured way to approach your learning in TMY. Both ways are fine. If you would like a more structured way of learning, then take a moment to familiarize yourself with the three ways to begin engaging with TMY’s teachings and practices explained below. Choose one or more staring points and begin creating your Path.

"Entering the Stream"

This is the traditional way of beginning Dharma practice. Entering the Stream gives a progressive method of learning and practice wherein each step builds upon the previous step, thus creating a solid foundation, overview and understanding of the teachings, practices and path. It is recommended that you first take the Peliminaries of TMY, followed by the Foundations of TMY. Though some students who are more ambitious and have a bit more time on their hands will engage with Preliminaries, Foundations and Kundalinī Hatha Yoga simultaneously, while they prepare to attend the next offering of the Entering the Stream In-Person Retreat, and that’s ok too.

The 5 Ways to Realization

Within Trika Mahāsiddha Yoga there are 5 complete and unique, yet interrelated paths of practice and teachings. Each of The 5 Ways to Realization are 5 approaches to practice and the path that are capable of taking you from rank beginner in the Dharma to the ultimate experience of your own True Nature – that of Buddhahood.

Choose Your Way:

Select your main Way of Realization. You may freely attend any of the other Ways’ trainings as well in order to support the practice of your main Way, or just out of interest.

Get Started with Healing, Empowerment & Self-Discovery
