KAP Testimonials

My experience with KAP:
I recently attended A KAP workshop and wanted to express my feelings on it because it was an intense and gratifying experience. I am a yoga teacher and Reiki Healer and I am always looking for ways to grow in my arts and in my life. Santiago Dobles has been my teacher and guide through all my years of learning energy work and yoga ,as well as the martial art of Pencak Silat . I am fortunate to also call him a very good friend. Under his guidance I have expanded and reached new planes of energy that have changed my perspective on just about everything. This most recent KAP workshop took me onto a whole new level.. I learned to go deeper into my breathing and to follow the energy vibrations from within as well as connecting to the earth and to all that surrounds me.. It helped me feel even more deeply connected to everything within me and outside of me. This deeper level is already helping me reach new levels in all the things I do. It has also given me the ability to give more to my own students because I have more to give to them. I look forward to continuing to learn and reach new heights of energy not only for myself but for the benefits of others as well.

I was fortunate to have met Doctor Morris and done some meditations and energy work with him before he went on to his next journey, He was an amazing human being his energy was a force to be reckoned with and he had a wonderful heart. Santiago has taken what Doc gave us and expanded it to new heights with his own research and education from other teachers and guru's , He is an amazing teacher who never holds anything back and knows how to reach every person individually on their own level. Both him and Tao are carrying on Doc's name with great respect and I am sure he is watching from where he is and is very proud.

I highly recommend the KAP workshops. If you are a healer a martial artist it will make a great difference in your arts but even if you are not it will still make a great difference in your life. You will grow to new horizons both physically and spiritually.

Thanks to Doc, Santiago ,Tao and all those who have guided me .

So, to let you guys all know a little bit about me and my background in these practices...(and hopefully to get all of you guys to share your histories as well... :)

Where to begin...

Well, I guess it all started a few years ago while perusing an internet fitness forum and stumbling upon a review of a book called "Path Notes of An American Ninja Master" by Dr. Glenn Morris.

Something told me I should buy the book, so I did. I read it and it just felt so different than anything else. I loved it! I quickly became enamored with the pursuit of enlightenment and the attainment of preternatural abilities. And I have kind of an obsessive personality in that whenever I become interested in something, I always take it to the furthest possible extreme...somewhat of a blessing and a curse. :)

And this was no exception. I wanted to delve deeper into the things Dr. Morris discussed in his book. I read his second book (Shadow Strategies) ...which is even better than the first book by the way, and I started reading some Qigong books that Dr. Morris had recommended. I practiced those for a while, along with the Secret Smile and the Microcosmic orbit practices from his books. And I started searching online for how I could learn more of Dr. Morris' methods.

Then I found UmaaTantra...and saw that Tao and Santiago had a personal relationship with Dr. Morris -- them being the students of Dr. Morris with regard to his Martial Arts and his Qigong and meditation techniques, while Dr. Morris being the student of Tao and Santiago in Tantric techniques.

After a series of emails back and forth with Tao, I knew he was the real deal...so I bought a bunch of UmaaTantra's products -- Secrets the Gurus will Never Show You...Secrets of Laya Yoga...the Practice Session DVDs...Abdominal Isolation DVDs...ALL of their products in fact. :)

And I started practicing...EVERYDAY. I worked mostly with the techniques from the Secrets the Gurus Will Never Show You ebook (which is packed with techniques). So I was doing a lot of charanas (techniques to clean and build the energetic centers of the body) and a lot of Yoga asanas and kriyas (with the internal techniques described in the ebook) along with the Secret Smile and some Qigong practices.

I developed A LOT!!!

I began to develop quite a bit of chi, and I developed some mastery over it -- the ability to move it to different parts of my body and to different energy centers and feel the consciousness associated with it. And I began to PLAY!

Then Tao and I started talking on skype. He became very familiar with my individual practice and the nature of my personality and my aspirations. And we started talking regularly so he could guide me along with my personal practice...a sort of personal training in a way, tailored to me as an individual. He always knows what practice to give me next to open up something new for me and take me to the next level.

My life has completely changed since all this happened...and I've been so amazed by it all that a couple months ago, I went to Miami to see Tao personally -- both to learn from him and to thank him for all he's done for me.

I got a lot of great practices while I was there (as part of the KAP class that I did) and the private teaching sessions that Tao did with me...and I'm know progressing faster than ever.

Much of those practices that he shared with me are the same ones he's teaching in this distance learning course...so ENJOY them! They're awesome!

So that's pretty much my story...I hope you enjoyed it. :)

And one last thing, I guess if I could offer any of you who are just starting out with this or didn't have a relationship with Tao or UmaaTantra prior to this, it would simply be:

Take advantage of this opportunity! Tao is an amazingly generous and knowledgeable teacher. The more curious you are...the more you ask questions and let him get to know you and where you're at in your practice...the more help you'll get...the more knowledge you'll have...and the faster you'll progress.

Oh, and one more thing: In the words of Dr. Morris, "Keep playing!"

Best wishes to all of you...and I hope you'll share your stories with me.

My breathing is going well. Even though it's not perfect, there is a significant improvement compared to three weeks ago. The exciting thing for me is the class itself. It teaches me a lot and it's nice to have someone on the other end ready to answer any questions in realtime... The encouragement I get is actually reading/listening to the personal examples of improvement/development from you and from other students. Since I'm new, that gives me something to look forward to and a motivation to practice... Since I started practicing consistently, I've been more comfortable with myself. For example, in class I would feel a little anxiety that the professor would call on me to talk in class. But now I feel a little comfortable with the anxiety which makes it less pronounce than before. I also feel I'm not in my head as much and things such as getting angry passes by faster than before and I don't dwell on it as much.

Hi guys,

Nice to talk to you all.

Well, I am a student of Occultism since my 12 years old. So, I had opportunity to know several spiritual paths. Specially the Builders of the Adytum with its wonderful tarot course, Tantra and Ki-Aikido. So I was searching for tantra, when I found Umaa. I bought the Secrets of the Guru and it is really amazing.

About the KAP I have felt that my energy level has increased a lot, as well as my sexual energy. During the practice I feel vibrations around my body and I sweat a lot. The feelings raised up during the practice (calm, confident, love, etc) are wonderful I leave the practices revigorated.

I have some Umaa DVDs and the practice are really good too.

I hope to share more with you all
