Tibetan Yoga and Sound

We are excited to announce an awesome two-day retreat style Tibetan Yoga and Sounds workshop with Alejandro Chaoul. From May 31st through June 1st, at LA’s only ocean view wellness studio, the Awoken Space in Malibu, “Tibetan Yoga and Sounds” with Alejandro Chaoul will be from 10am-7pm (Sunset). Alejandro is a truly wise and experienced soul. Immersed for more than three decades in the Bön lineage, the deeply magical and most ancient Tibetan tradition. Bön was the ancient religion in Tibet, predating the introduction of Buddhism, and from that interaction they now share many of the same concepts, practices, and rituals. Alejandro has travelled extensively, teaches internationally, regularly at Esalen, the Omega Institute and many top spiritual retreat centers. We are lucky to have him in Malibu to facilitate what will be a deeply transformative, healing and enjoyable workshop. Unite your body, breath, and mind for a powerful healing journey. While many have embraced yoga for its physical benefits, the ancient and secretive practices of Tibetan yoga offer a unique path to alignment and inner peace. Be guided through the sacred movements and postures of Tibetan yoga. These teachings will deepen your sense of embodiment, enhance your meditative practices, and bring greater clarity and confidence to your daily life. Tibetan yoga is a transformative practice that helps you return to a deep meditative state after distractions and awakens the mind from drowsiness. Discover the profound benefits that these ancient practices can bring to your life. Let’s embark on this journey together. The Tibetan tradition utilizes sound as one of the ways of healing energy. Seed syllables are sounds that have the potential of rebalancing the mind and its embodied energy. Through vocalizing and chanting these powerful Tibetan sounds, we can open, clear and align one’s different energetic centers (chakras) and provide a sense of embodied meditation. During this weekend we will learn and practice this healing sound meditation, starting with breathing and incorporating the healing sound that will help you clear away obstacles, recuperate, and retrieve qualities and bring them into your everyday life. Incorporating the practices into your daily life can help you connect to your inner wisdom and the potential to achieve a relaxed yet aware state of mind and a healthier lifestyle. No prior meditation experience is necessary.
