Three Yantra Yoga Courses at Dondrubling
|
| |
Yantra Yoga or the Yoga of Movement, is one of the oldest recorded systems of Yoga that exists in the world, coming to us through Tibet.
"In the practice of Yantra Yoga we use our body, voice and mind. With the body we do positions and movements, with the voice there are many techniques of pranayamas or breathing practices and with the mind there are many ways to concentrate and visualize. The aim is to go beyond judging and thinking with our mind and we call this contemplation. When we apply all these three aspects together, we have the possibility to arrive at our real knowledge or the understanding of our primordial state, our original condition. That is the real meaning of yoga in Yantra Yoga."
" Choegyal Namkhai Norbu

KUMBHAKA COURSE WITH CAROLINA MINGOLLA
Kumbhaka is a special method for holding our breath. Through its practice one facilitates the capture of the karmic prana into the central channel. This is very important in order to approach knowledge of the nature of mind, the main goal of the Dzogchen Teaching.
Mastering Kumbhaka is a base for applying many Tsa Lung methods as well.
In this course we will learn to understand and apply the practice of Kumbhaka, gaining confidence in governing the musculature associated with the practice and developing our capacity through rhythmic breathing. This course is for practitioners who have transmission from Ch gyal Namkhai Norbu.
