Tibetan Yoga for Wellbeing: Working with the Five Elements July 10 – July 13, 2025 with Alejandro Chaoul, PhD Join master yogin Alejandro Chaoul for a four-day Tibetan Yoga retreat exploring the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—through the lens of ancient Bön teachings. Open to both beginners and experienced practitioners, this immersive retreat focuses on the internal and external aspects of the elements using Tsa lung practices from the Bön Mother Tantra. Tsa lung (channels and breath) combines physical movement, breath retention, and meditative awareness, offering a profound method for connecting with the subtle body and harmonizing energy. This retreat will guide you through these unique yogic forms, including external, internal, and secret practices related to the elements. Alejandro will also share insights from his clinical research at MD Anderson Cancer Center, which studied the therapeutic benefits of these practices. As Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche notes, these yogas are “a wonderful support for all spiritual practitioners, not just for those with an interest in physical yogas or those with illnesses.” By balancing the winds (lung, prana, or chi), Tsa lung Trul khor can dissolve long-held blocks in the body and mind, supporting both healing and the natural emergence of primordial awareness—on and off the cushion. Weather permitting, practices will take place both indoors and outdoors on Menla’s sacred land. Whether you’re new to Tibetan yoga or have a long-standing practice, you are warmly invited to experience this transformative retreat in a land dedicated to healing.
