Sedona Yoga Festival 2020

  Lu Jong is an ancient movement practice developed for the purpose of self-healing.    LU means 'body' and JONG means 'training'.    Many are unaware of this Tibetan yoga tradition.   Buddhist practices are often erroneously visualized as static and on a cushion, a stereotype that couldn't be farther from the truth.    In actuality, monks meditating far from society in the mountains of Tibet realized the necessity of developing methods to keep their bodies in top condition, their immune systems strong, and their healing abilities well-tuned.    Physically, the practice works the spine to build strength. Energetically, the movements open blocked channels and chakras to encourage the proper flow of energy in our bodies.    What does this mean for you? In addition to fostering physical healing by increasing fitness, energy and balance, Lu Jong is a spiritual practice that opens the heart, cultivates inner calm, and hones mental focus.     It is a form of Meditation in Motion.    Lu Jong is deeply rooted in Tibetan Buddhism (Tantrayana), shamanic Bon practices, and Tibetan Medicine – an entirely unique combination of incredibly powerful healing techniques.
