Yantra yoga
Yantra Yoga or the Yoga of Movement is an ancient system of Tibetan yoga based on the text The Union of the Sun and the Moon, written in the 8th century by the master Vairochana. It was introduced and taught in the West by master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu in the early 1970s. Yantra Yoga makes use of various types of movements and positions linked to different aspects of breathing in order to contro and coordinate the vital energy or prana.
Yantra Yoga places special attention to the breathing, re-educating our breathing to become smooth, long and harmonious. This makes it incredibly effective in supporting our health and reinvigorating our body.
This practice system is based on Tibetan medicine and has a holistic approach to health, integrating the three levels of body, energy and mind.
Since our physical and mental well-being depend mainly on the condition of our energy, by practising Yantra Yoga we can keep ourselves in good health and reach a calm, present and relaxed mental state which is the base for understanding our own real condition.
