Exercising the Channels and Winds with the Nine Breaths and Tsa LungDecember 13, 2025
Breath and movement, when combined with clear, focused attention, are powerful tools for bringing balance and harmony into our life. United, they strengthen our life-force and calm the mind. Releasing all effort after each movement we touch our inner stillness and silence. Tibetan Yoga practices specifically designed to clear obstacles and blockages to clear the flow of our energy and clarity of our minds. These practices ask us to truly listen to the subtle conversations that are taking place in our mind, and to feel the ways in which they manifest in our body. Then, without analyzing or rejecting those feelings we allow them to self-liberate, leaving us feeling more spacious and clear. This day of practice our focus will be the Nine Breaths of Purification, and the five Tsa lung (channel and wind) exercises. The Nine Breaths of Purification clears blockages related to anger, attachment and ignorance, freeing our energies for more constructive purposes. Tsa Lung exercises help us to clear disturbing emotions and energetic imbalances that prevent us from fully expressing the positive qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity in our lives. Note: Lunch is not provided. Bring your own lunch or snack. Coffee and Tea will…

This day of practice will focus on a selection of the “magical” movements of tsa lung trul khor. These movements are more physically vigorous than Saturday’s practices, but directly related. They both purify body, energy and mind as well as strengthen them and enhance positive qualities. The movements we will work with are from the Zhang Zhung cycle as presented by Sharda Rinpoche. Modifications will be provided for all levels of ability and flexibility.* Note: Lunch is not provided. Bring your own lunch or snack. Coffee and…
