University Open Air: Five Senses Tibetan Yogas & Five Movement Yogas
The Five Sense Tibetan Yogas are sitting yogas for energizing our five senses which are directly connected to our five solid organs and five hollow organs. These yogas are first taught in the 12th century in Tibet.
The Five Movements are standing yogas which release blockages in our subtle channels, creating openness and incredibly beneficial for overall balance and wellbeing. Physical movement, breath and awareness harmonize our body, energy, and mind. We can feel the benefit right away. All ages can do these two types of yogas. It takes only 11 minutes of your busy city life!
He will end the session with a guided meditation.
Notes: If possible, come with an empty stomach. If not, at least, do not eat a heavy breakfast. Wear light and comfortable clothing, and please bring your yoga mat or something on which you lie down.
