Tibetan Heart Yoga

We were honored to invite the beautiful Mira Shani (www.mirashani.com) into our studio to teach us Tibetan Heart Yoga Series 8: The Partner Series on Saturday, December 6th. Over 30 people spent their afternoon with us learning an authentic and unique style of yoga.

So, you might wonder, what exactly is Tibetan Heart Yoga? Tibetan Heart Yoga, otherwise called THY, is a unique and beautiful style of yoga founded upon using both inner and outer methods to bring about a blissful practice and a happier self. It continues from a lineage from Lord Naropa, a yogi who lived about 1100 AD. The founder and Principle Teacher of this lineage is Geshe Michael Roach, the first American Geshe.


Okay... so what are inner and outer methods? Inner methods are using our mind and thoughts to create a happier and healthier self. THY brings in a taste of philosophy and meditation to compliment pranayama (breathing) and asana (postures) which are considered the outer methods. When both methods are used together they create a very powerful practice for perfecting our yoga both on and off the mat.

There are a total of 10 distinct series of THY. Each series combines asana and philosophy to create a beautiful practice. Series 8 is the Partner Series which is designed for two people to practice together. The meditation is on opening up the boundaries of the body to see that there is no separation between yourself and your partner. In this series we have the privilege to see our partner as a divine being and offer them total happiness and enlightenment.


We offer Tibetan Heart Yoga at our studio every week on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:30pm with Brian! Come join us and see how bringing together two magical practices can holistically improve your life both on and off the mat!

Namaste,
Brian
