Nejang is a Tibetan healing yoga practice that literally means ‘cleaning the energy sites of the body.’ It consists of simple breath work, physical exercises, and self-massage designed to improve the function of the sense organs and inner organs, balance the internal energy, open the channels, and relax the mind. It has roots in the Tibetan Buddhist Kalachakra tradition and has been prescribed to patients by Tibetan physicians for centuries.
In this class we will learn about channels and energies of the subtle body, explore the key points of posture and breath used in Nejang and learn and practice the twenty-four Nejang exercises while exploring their specific therapeutic applications using the Nejang text and commentaries.
This workshop will be the very first class based on the new book on Nejang Yoga by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, published by Sky Press.
Cost of Attendance $125
