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 and translator Vairochana. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu wrote a detailed commentary on the root text and started to transmit this teaching in the West at the beginning of the seventies.
Yantra Yoga is a fundamental method to integrate the profound essence of the Dzogchen Teaching in the three doors (body, voice and mind) of the practitioner. Through positions and movements combined with breathing, one’s energy is coordinated and harmonized so as to let the mind relax and find the authentic balance which is the basis for entering the state of contemplation.
