Discover the hidden tradition of Tibetan yoga, a practice of magical movement for wellness of body, breath, and mind. In Tibetan Yoga, discover ancient Tibetan yogic practices that integrate body, breath, and mind on the journey to personal cultivation and enlightenment. Tibetan Yoga offers accessible instructions for performing the ancient yogic techniques of Tibet' s Boen religion. This is Tibetan yoga, or trul khor, a deeply authentic yogic practice. Drawing on thirty years of training with Boen' s most senior masters as well as advanced academic study, Dr. Alejandro Chaoul offers expert guidance on practices that were first developed by Boen masters over a millennium ago, framing them according to the needs of contemporary yoga practitioners and meditators. No matter their level of experience, dedicated practitioners of Tibetan yoga will discover its ability to clear away obstacles and give rise to meditative states of mind. In this book you' ll learn what it means to practice for the benefit of all beings, and to experience your body as a mandala, from center to periphery. These movements help you live in a more interconnected mind-breath-body experience, with benefits including: - better focus, - stress reduction, - the elimination of intrusive thoughts, - better sleep, - and general well-being.
"Tibetan Yoga reveals a treasure trove of simple, deep body practices that profoundly expand the tools for most contemporary practitioners of meditation. While traditional Tibetan meditation and mind-training tools have become widely known, studied, and applied, these magical movement practices have been hidden from greater knowledge until now. Chaoul is the perfect guide on the journey of embodying this ancient wisdom--his devotion to scholarly and spiritual depth is complemented by his contemporary scientific grounding and expertise as a teacher. This book awakens not only the subtle body but also our sense of wonder and joy as we learn how to become the kestrel, the donkey, the tigress, the peacock, and more!"--Eve Ekman, PhD, co-creator of the Atlas of Emotions "In Tibetan Yoga, Alejandro Chaoul masterfully reveals important, yet lesser known, mind-body practices. Using the metaphor of magic, Chaoul takes us on a beautiful journey that is personal, historical, and practical. Providing a step-by-step approach, Tibetan Yoga teaches us how to incorporate these ancient practices into everyday life, resulting in profound improvements in the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of our lives. "--Lorenzo Cohen, PhD, professor and director, Integrative Medicine Program, MD Anderson Cancer Center "In this time when yoga in the West has become singularly aligned with Instagram-worthy physical prowess, Alejandro Chaoul' s new book reminds us that the real magic of yoga is how anybody and everybody can experience true transformation. The richness of Tibetan Yoga is the integration of inspiring wisdom with accessible practices that help us take care of the whole world by taking care of ourselves. Simply put, Alejandro Chaoul' s teachings on magical movements are a tremendous gift to yogis everywhere. "--Cyndi Lee, founder, OM Yoga and author of Yoga Body, Buddha Mind and May I Be Happy "Reading Tibetan Yoga is equivalent to receiving the transmission of this ancient art directly from the mouth of a master. Chaoul reveals the secret of freedom through motion: how we too, can discover magic and wisdom in a way that is accessible, joyful, and liberating. "--Willa Blythe Baker, author of The Wakeful Body "Thorough and accessible, this precious book is a gift that opens us up to the unfamiliar yet profound ancient teachings of Tibetan yoga. Exquisitely clear instructions along with commentaries by Tibetan wisdom masters illuminate how these magical movements can clear away obstacles and lead to internal transformation at the deepest level, and to improvements in health and well-being. " --Susan Bauer-Wu, president of the Mind & Life Institute and author of Leaves Falling Gently "What a wonderful book--Alejandro Chaoul' s Tibetan Yoga!How magnificent is the Boen Buddhist tradition, coming from one of the buddhas prior to our Shakyamuni Buddha, so well known today! Dr. Chaoul' s marvelous research into the text and practices is outstanding. And on top of that, his work to offer Tibetan yoga wisdom and subtle neurological art to cancer patients is pathbreaking, making it relevant to their healing! I cannot recommend this book highly enough as an authentic, creative, delightful, and powerfully transformative teaching that, if studied and applied sincerely, can change people' s lives for the better!"--Robert Thurman, Buddhologist, author, environmentalist
