Yantra Yoga offers the practitioner an intriguing new approach to awareness practice, parallel to the Hatha Yoga of the Hindu tradition.
It will serve to enhance one's physical health, energy, and mental balance. Called the Union of Sun and Moon energy, it is a dynamic system of trulkhor (movement) and differs from more widespread yogas in that it is done without the holding of the asanas (postures).
The progression of postures is done with coordinated breath that helps us to relax and achieve a state that is beyond our normal dualistic concepts. Yantra Yoga is a very rich body of knowledge that includes 4 preliminary series, 75 various asanas, 7 breathing practices, 7 lotuses and the vajra wave—108 aspects in all.
Profusely illustrated with drawings and photographs,Yantra Yoga presents Tibet's trulkhor yoga tradition as taught by one if its master exponents, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.
Yantra Yoga's movements, exercises, and methods of concentration are all based on an eighth-century text whose translation is included, illuminated by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's commentary. Detailed charts for the timing of the breathing exercises are also included.
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu is one of the great living masters of Dzogchen. He was a professor at the Oriental Institute of the University of Naples, Italy, and is the author of The Crystal and the Way of Light and Dzogchen: The Self-Perfected State.
Adriano Clemente first studied Yantra Yoga with Chogyal Namkhai Norbu in the 1970s. He lives in Italy.
