Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being by Alejandro Chaoul PhD

The Science and Practice of Healing Your Body, Energy and Mind

While yoga has become a common practice for health and well-being, Tibetan yoga still remains a mystery. Translated as ‘magical movements’, Tibetan yoga can improve physical strength and support positive emotional and mental health, healing the body-energy-mind system wit ha full sense of awareness.

In Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being, Alejandro Chaoul PhD focuses on the five principal breaths of Tibetan medicine and yoga, and how special body movements for each of these breaths engage the five chakras of the body. Alongside photos of each movement, Chaoul will guide you through the physical practice with a focus on simplicity and accessibility. He shares his experiences of daily practice in different cultures, and provides a contextual understanding of the history of Tibetan yoga so that you can fully incorporate its ancient teachings in your present day lifestyle.

No need to decipher ancient translations and puzzle out the hidden meanings of ancient texts – Alejandro has done that for us in plain and useful language’. – Cyndi Lee, founder of New York City’s OM yoga Centre and author of May I Be Happy
