An exploration of the Dasha Mahavidya
with Madhura Bhagwat and Kassandra Reinhardt.
The ten Mahavidyas provide us with a roadmap to enlightenment by helping us understand who we really are.
In this course, we will break down each of the 10 wisdom goddesses: Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala.
Each goddess has different personality traits and different ways to guide us towards self-realization. Mahavidya can be seen as a guide to creative powers, sacred deities, psychological metaphors and guides to our deep inner work.
They teach us to love ourselves and to work with the hidden parts that often hold us back.
Tantra, like yoga, affirms the importance of the body as a temple to the divine. It sees our psycho-physical life as a subtle universe in which the indivudual can understand the workings of the entire universe. Wisdom manifests when we use the body as a tool to develop higher consciousness.
This program is suitable for all experience levels. No prior knowledge of yoga, tantra or the dasha mahavidyas is required to participate.

MADHURA BHAGWAT
Madhura has been on her yogic path for a little over 14yrs and primarily involved with teaching in yoga teacher training. Being born and raised in an Indian family exposed her to yoga philosophy, eastern psychology, ayurveda and mantra chanting at a very young age. Her primary focus has been to offer authentic Yoga and Ayurveda education in the most accessible way to suit a modern lifestyle while passing on the Yoga traditions in the purest form.
She holds experience as the director, course curator and educator of 200 and 300Hr YTTCs. She has wide experience of practicing with Traditional Indian and western Yoga Teachers; she thus represents a beautiful blend of Indian culture with a western approach. She's come to realize how necessary it is to bring back the true meaning of what Yoga really is; the perfect union between body, mind and soul. With her double bachelors in Politics and Law, she has been an audacious educator in the field of yoga, equity and cultural appropriation. Studying with Madhura is an enjoyable and transformative experience.
"I now have the fundamentals to carry out my own daily practice and to teach others. Madhura has a wealth of knowledge, she endevours to do her best to create an impact on every student. The teaching is authentic and traditional and the experience will stay with me for life. Namaste. "- Ruth Jardin
"Madhura aims to tie together the traditional ideas together with contemporary teaching techniques. Her style of teaching allows both a depth of knowledge and a freedom from which to develop your own individual style. Madhura has the uncanny ability to identify your greatest weakness, force you to face it and through disciplined practice will turn the defeat of that weakness into a personal triumph. It was a magical experience when I felt I tapped into the mystery and the meaning of Yoga. "- Evita Tereshkova
"I got certified by Madhura in June 2017 and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. The amount of knowledge that I learned including both the traditional and modern teachings/practice of yoga was the most rewarding experience. She taught me so much about the philosophy, history, and technique of yoga that the wealth of knowledge and experience that I gained is absolutely priceless. The course definitely kicked my butt, but I am so much stronger than I was before! I learned so much about myself throughout this journey and I couldn't be more grateful to Madhura for bringing me there."- Nadeya Tahira
KASSANDRA REINHARDT
Kassandra is an Ottawa-based Yoga Instructor on a mission to help others feel great with yoga. She started practicing yoga in 2008 as a way to become more flexible and learn to manage stress and anxiety. Little did she know in a few short years she would have the privilege of becoming a teacher, passionately committed to sharing the practice of yoga with others.
Throughout the years she’s fallen in love with the richness of yoga’s philosophy and history. Yoga is now ingrained in her daily life in a fundamental way. It helps her meet any challenges she may face by teaching her to be present, focused and receptive.
Through her Yoga with Kassandra YouTube channel, she’s been able to introduce yoga to millions of people from across the globe. What started as her own personal sadhana to ease stress and anxiety quickly unraveled into her greatest passion, an exciting career and a whole new way of life!
Her aim is to create accessible, easy to follow and meaningful yoga classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home.
"Kassandra has welcomed me, encouraged me, guided and supported me in building a yoga practice. That's how you feel. That she is right there with you personally, for every struggle and every accomplishment. I had tried developing a practice before with some online videos, but nobody put me at ease and gave me the confidence that Kassandra has done. I have gained so much physically, mentally and spiritually and will be eternally thankful." - Stew Neal
"Kassandra is an amazing yoga teacher. Her verbal cues are easy to understand and so helpful, something that is so important when teaching online. I love her energy, it is the perfect balance between calming and inspiring. She makes yoga feel so accessible with a focus on personal development and growth. I have recommended her to so many friends who have also fallen in love with her classes and teaching style."- Nik Smith
"Kassandra explains everything so clearly I don't even need to look at the screen most of the time. She also has a real understanding of how students have different abilities and how to adapt poses to suit their needs. Her calming vocals really help set the tone for her classes and make you feel like you are doing well."- Amanda Jane
"Kassandra’s genius as an instructor is her sequencing. She has an extraordinary ability to make her classes accessible to beginners and appropriate for intermediate students at once. She also knows exactly how much to speak during class. She is one of a kind."- Sary V Toad
"Thanks to you both very much! It's been a real pleasure to learn more about the Dasha Mahavidyas and so the origin of Tantra Yoga! Really enjoyed learning about the wisdom of each Godesses. Also found the presentation and practices very well done. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge!" - Marie Pasquereau
"Thank you Kassandra & Madhura! It has taken me a while to complete as life issues got in the way, but I've arrived at last. Doing the yoga practice after the lecture really helps the information presented to sink in (and there is a lot to learn!) Naturally I have one or two favourites, but I enjoyed all the sessions and will no doubt revisit this course again in the future. Very grateful to you both for your work, thanks again."- Suzy K
"Thank you so much for this course, I have really enjoyed learning about the wisdom goddesses. Some of them I didn't initially feel much connection with but then I either found something about the shadow side for example, or during the practice which resonated with me. Taking the time afterwards to visualise and journal real…"- Hannah Gough
