An accessible, practical guide to Tibetan yoga explaining principal breaths and movements, and its core history and philosophy.
“Chaoul weaves the world of a traditional practice together with modern life. This powerful and generous gift opens a doorway into kindness, both for oneself and others.”— Sharon Salzberg, New York Times best-selling author of Real Happiness and Real Love

While yoga has become a common practice for health and well-being, the ancient tools of Tibetan yoga remained secret for centuries. Translated as "magical movements," Tibetan yoga can improve physical strength and support positive emotional and mental health, healing the body-energy-mind system with a full sense of awareness and harmony.
In Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being, Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Director of Education at the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, focuses on the five principal breath-energies of Tibetan medicine and yoga and how special body movements for each engage the five chakras in our body.
Chaoul shares his experiences of daily yoga practice in different settings and cultures, with a focus on simplicity, accessibility, and ease for your real-world lifestyle. He also provides a contextual understanding of the history and lineage of Tibetan yoga so that you will fully be able to remove obstacles from your life and welcome in health and well-being.
