LU JONG

Tibetan Healing Yoga

Start your day with Lu Jong and change your life. No matter where or who you are: see your health improve, your mind become calm and your emotions balanced.

Lu Jong is an ancient practice from the Buddhist Tantrayana and Bön traditions. The exercises of Lu Jong are based on the knowledge of Tibetan medicine, which understands that humans are a unity of body and mind.

If the natural inner balance gets disrupted, the whole organism will be affected. Diseases can be the result. Through the combination of position, movement and breath, Lu Jong opens the channels in the body and mobilizes misdirected energy. On the physical level, this leads to the activation of the body’s own self-healing powers. On the mental level, the exercises help us overcome negative emotions like anger and craving in order to achieve emotional balance and to increase our energy. On an energetic level, Lu Jong releases blockages and opens the subtle body channels. This will re-establish the proper flow of energy.

Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche collected and modified the ancient Lu Jong movements – which have been used for millennia to maintain the health of yogis and monks – and combined them to “Lu Jong – Tibetan Healing Yoga”, a program of body exercises adapted to Western needs, allowing everyone to balance body and mind.

“Lu Jong is meditation in movement - Lu Jong is the way to reach the silence of the mind.”

TULKU LOBSANG RINPOCHE

SHIATSU

A Japanese manual therapy that aims to restructure the vital energy in the body.

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork based on pseudoscientific concepts in traditional Chinese medicine such as qi meridians. Having been popularized in the twentieth century by Tokujiro Namikoshi, shiatsu derives from the older Japanese massage modality called Anma.

Shiatsu translates as "finger pressure." There are different styles of Shiatsu, all of which have roots in one of three systems that developed in Japan in the early 1900s as a result of a resurgence of Japan's traditional medical therapies, including acupuncture and Anma massage. Shiatsu developed at this time from the integration of traditional Japanese manual therapies with modern western medical knowledge.
