Tsa Lung: Tibetan yogic movements guiding breath through the channels

Learn and practice the inner yoga of breath through the inner channels as we do movements that support the awakening of the sacred body.

These Tsa Lung movements, from the Mother Tantra, are done seated. They work with the different subtle breaths in our body to enhance our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
