Tibetan Heart Yoga is a practice where one works from
the inside and the outside. One works from the inside
with meditation and from the outside with pranayama,
asana, and ethical practices.
The Tibetan Heart Yoga lineage traces its roots back through Tibet to ancient India. It is a compassion and wisdom based practice that weaves philosophy, meditation, and breath work with the physical postures. If you are looking to set your practice on fire with authentic teachings taken directly from the ancient texts and masters, please join us for the first ever Tibetan Heart Yoga workshop in Washington, DC! All levels encouraged.

Using meditation, imagery, and physical asana
taken from ancient texts on the Machine of the body
and the Kalachakra Tantra, Mira will lead us through a
practice that harnesses the power of the inner winds
and helps us relate to our body on a level beneath the
gross physical plane.
Series 4 is a beautiful, vigorous practice that
includes meditating on the five vayus: prana vayu,
udana vayu, samana vayu, apana vayu, and viyana vayu.
The five vayus run through the inner body, underlying
not only our health and well-being but also our
experience of the outer world. Be prepared to
transform your physical practice by re-imaging your
perception of the body and to explore your
understanding of the inner body’s relationship to the
outer world.
teacher series, pt 2: beginning poses and classes

4-6 p
for teachers and teacher trainees. spend time building community with teachers and trainees both in and outside the boundless community. learn the boundless approach to teaching beginning-level students. as with teaching the basics of discipline, beginning-level teachers often struggle with many aspects of the beginner yoga class: how much or how little information to convey, how to teach the fundamentals of intermediate poses (to keep advanced-beginners challenged) without losing the total newbies, and how to keep students engaged in the process of the yoga, an orientation of the mind rather than a goal to accomplish.
in 2008, boundless will teach four two-hour workshops, required for boundless yoga teachers, that explore the mechanics of teaching a good yoga class. you must either be a yoga teacher, or in training to become one, to take this workshop.
