New Book by Alejandro Chaoul Also Available July 17

Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being

A new book by Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D., director of research for Ligmincha International and senior student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, will be available July 17.

Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being: The Science and Practice of Healing Your Body, Energy, and Mind, focuses on the five principal breaths of Tibetan yoga and how special body movements for each of these breaths engage the five chakras in our body. Photos of each of the 16 movements are provided for reference, as well as tips on how to keep your practice alive in the midst of your everyday life.

Tibetan yoga has been known to slow the effects of aging as well as enhance memory, improve physical strength, and support positive emotional and mental health. It enables practitioners to remove obstacles from their lives and welcome health and well-being.

Alejandro shares his experiences of daily practice in different settings and cultures, with a focus on simplicity, accessibility and ease. Alongside his thorough and clear guidance for Tibetan yoga’s core movements and breathing methods, he provides a contextual understanding of the history and lineage of Tibetan yoga.

The book is available through amazon.com and other venues.
