Tibetan Yoga, Part 1

Discover the Profound Tradition of Tibetan Yoga

While yoga has been popularized in the West as a practice for physical health and well-being, the ancient practices of Tibetan yoga have often remained secretive.

In this groundbreaking Wisdom Academy course, Dr. Alejandro Chaoul illuminates the trul khor, or magical movements. Over the course of ten lessons, Dr. Chaoul guides you through a series of yogic postures and movements with exceptional detail and expertise, teaches you how to work with the anatomy of the subtle body, and shows you how to engage your breath to serve the practice of meditation and the cultivation of genuine well-being. You’ll learn about the history of Tibetan yoga, as well as how to keep your meditation practice fresh and inspired.

Dr. Alejandro Chaoul has spent the last thirty years studying, translating, and practicing the trul khor. Thanks to the kindness and blessings of contemporary masters—including the late H. H. Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche, H. E. Yongdzin Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche—along with Dr. Chaoul’s dedication, these precious and rare teachings are being made available to a modern audience in a format that is both accessible and practical.

This course is for everyone. If you’ve been practicing trul khor for years, if you’re new to Tibetan yoga, or if you just want to deepen your personal yoga and meditation practices, this course will help enhance your personal practice and connect to the natural state of your mind.
