Along with profound meditation methods for cultivating embodied wisdom, Tibetan Yoga practices also promote increased vitality, longevity and rejuvenation.
As a traditional medicine doctor and movement therapist of over two decades, I have witnessed the benefit of integrating cultural approaches to caring for the body. This includes subtle cultivation of the body’s channels, vital energies and physiological essences through somatic meditation, but also by exploring contemporary insights into longevity and rejuvenation.
It is stated that ageing impacts the channels and winds, which over the course of adult life - begin to decline.
In this Tibetan Yoga retreat, we will explore not only traditional breath and movement practices that foster the strength and repair of channels but also integrative methods from a variety of disciplines that support the emergence of the wisdom of impermanence.
We will practice methods that encourage emotional regulation, support attention and cognition as well as make the methods of Tibetan Yoga’s physical practices accessible, intelligent and sustainable.
As I have followed this yoga journey for thirty years, I have learned to adapt how I practice and look ahead, and wish to share a broader view of Tibetan Yoga, longevity and rejuvenations
I will introduce therapeutic exercises that support intensive training and recovery, as well as theories and integrative principles that also care for the ageing and adult populations.
Aspects of Tibetan or Buddhist yoga can be safely or intelligently applied, along with interdisciplinary approaches to longevity and rejuvenation.
For established meditators on the ‘long haul’ of this path of embodied wisdom, you will access insights and pragmatic approaches to Chulen rejuvenation and integrating inner yoga principles that make sense.

“You know that thing when you think you soul might be finally crushed for good and the nameless, wordless, friendless dread of the city has sucked you dry? Well, this place has the cure. You can help with the grounds and garden, you can yoga and meditate, you can get the best massage in 48 states, you can eat the most delicious vegetarian cuisine, and my favorite, walk the trails and paths through bubbling brooks and over rushing waterfalls and regain your spirit and feel the beat of your heart in time to nature.”
