Everyone is welcome, regardless of age or ability.

What

• His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama said that this new, open sharing of the Tibetan yoga tradition is for the mutual benefit of individuals and society at large.
• What was once a ‘secret’ practice is now being shared with the general public by Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, the lineage holder of the Shangpa Kagyu tradition for mental and physical well-being as well as a support for the practice of advanced tantric disciplines such as Mahamudra and Dzogchen,
• Niguma Yoga originated from Lady Niguma, an 11th century fully realized dakini mahasiddha from Kashmir, who transmitted these yoga teachings directly to a single disciple, Khyungpo Naljor* on the condition that the practice remain secret for seven generations, taught one-to-one, only— lineage holder to disciple.

*Khyungpo Naljor was founder of the Shangpa Kagyu tradition and considered to be one of the greatest yogis ever to have existed in Tibet.
