Ngakpa/ ngakma སྔགསཔ་/ སྔགས་མ་ are the non-monastic Vajrayana Buddhist yogic practitioners of Tibet.
In this public talk, Drukmo Gyal, raised in a traditional Tibetan yogic family, discusses the unique culture of yoginis in Tibet, both historically and how the culture has continued to thrive and adapt in modern times.
Drukmo Gyal (འགྲུག་མོ་རྒྱ) was born in the Northeastern part of Tibet into a yogi family where mantra, yoga, and meditation were introduced at a young age. With support from her local Tibetan yogi community and family, she practiced mantras with traditional melodies and in 2008 began singing publicly and touring the world. In 2014 she moved to the West in order to work with Sorig Khang International, one of the largest organizations for Tibetan Medicine in the world, founded by her teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang. Since she has been in the West she has produced five albums of Tibetan healing mantras and chants with musicians from all over the world and traveled to over twenty countries to share concerts, public talks, workshops, and courses on mantra, yoga, meditation, and the external healing therapies of Tibetan Medicine. One of the primary focuses of all her activities is to help females to find equality and to help mothers and children to view each other with divinity and compassion through Tibetan spiritual practices.
