Step into a sacred Tibetan Buddhist temple and embark on a transformative journey through traditional yoga. This unique workshop focuses on harmonizing your physical and energetic self, offering a tranquil contrast to the fast-paced routines of modern studios. Participants will explore practices that release tension from joints and tendons, areas where stagnant energy commonly resides, inviting the rejuvenating flow of prana (life force).

The workshop also emphasizes awakening the spine’s energy through gentle, fluid movements combined with visualization, breathwork (pranayama), and strengthening postures like Sun Salutations. Guided mindfulness and relaxation techniques are interwoven throughout, creating a holistic experience that enhances vitality, balance, and inner harmony.

Open to all levels—from beginners to experienced practitioners—this workshop provides tools to deepen your yoga journey and integrate these practices into daily life. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relaxation, or a moment of peace, this program supports your personal growth and well-being.

Detailed Explanation:
Traditional yoga offers a profound way to connect movement with mindfulness, fostering an environment for cleansing and clarity. This workshop begins with a 45-minute guided session focusing on body awareness and breath connection. Participants then enjoy a short break, offering time to reset and reflect. The second 45-minute session deepens the experience, integrating visualization techniques, fluid spine movements, and pranayama to awaken energy and awareness.

The practice emphasizes releasing stagnant energy stored in the joints and tendons. This gentle opening allows prana to flow freely, revitalizing the body while promoting physical and mental balance. Participants will also explore the energetic and physical alignment of Sun Salutations, a powerful sequence for building strength and enhancing vitality.

Under the guidance of Ariane, a dedicated practitioner studying Buddhism with Lama Jigmé Namgyal, this workshop weaves traditional yoga with mindfulness and Buddhist principles. By the end of the session, participants will have practical tools to incorporate into their yoga and meditation practice at home, fostering ongoing growth and inner harmony.

Additional Information:
Ariane, an experienced yoga instructor and dedicated Buddhist practitioner, will lead this workshop. Having studied extensively under Lama Jigmé Namgyal, her approach combines traditional yoga techniques with mindfulness rooted in Buddhist teachings.

Participants will receive step-by-step guidance, creating a supportive space to explore their practice regardless of experience level. The workshop is structured to inspire both beginners and advanced practitioners, blending movement, breath, and awareness to promote clarity and energy.
