Tibetan Yoga from the Oral Tradition of Zhang Zhung: The Magical Movements (Trul Khor) of Body, Breath & Mind

Beginners and experienced students alike are invited to this Tibetan Yoga retreat! 

The distinctive Tibetan practice of yoga known as Trul Khor or ‘magical movement’ incorporates breath retention, awareness and dynamic physical movements. In this four day retreat we will focus on the pith or “root” magical movements from the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu (Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung). This is the first time these movements have been taught at Serenity Ridge in a decade!  

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche calls Trul Khor “a wonderful support for all spiritual practitioners, not just for those with an interest in physical yogas.” By harmonizing the winds (lung, prana, or chi) and guiding their flow through physical and energetic dimensions, Trul khor can clear long-held blocks in the practitioner’s body, energy, and mind, supporting the spontaneous arising of awareness during formal meditation and in everyday life. 

Trul khor has different sets of movements composed by different masters. This retreat, will focus on practices from Pongyal Tsenpo and Orgom Kundul, two great yogis who are among the masters of the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu. 

Students that complete this retreat are eligible to participate in Trul Khor, part II, in 2024.
