Yantra Yoga (Tibetan movement system)

[Guest guest]

I know that this group does the 5 Tibetans, and I do them too occasionally along

with Qi Gong, but I recently got the book Yantra Yoga by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.

This book teaches 108 movements based on a text from the 8th century. The

movements are very similar to Hatha Yoga but actually precede Hatha texts.

There's also a big difference in that there is a specific sequence to be

followed, and specific breathing patterns, as well as visualization. It's a very

precise system that I'll be deeply learning because my body needs more movement

and the 5 Tibetans are not enough, for me anyhow. There is much more to Tibetan

Yoga than the 5 Tibetans and I encourage anyone here who has interest to pick up

the book, or find a teacher, though there are very few that teach it.

 

There is a video on this site where you can see some of the movements... I love

the mountains the background!
