1st and 3rd Fridays – 7 PM – 8 PM – Trul Khor literally translates as Magical Body Movements and is a form of Central Asian Yoga. An essential support practice for meditation and health, this system has been passed in an unbroken oral transmission through centuries of Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu lineages.
The core of the practice engages the body, mind and spirit of the practitioner in a series of breath, sound and movement exercises, each relating to a specific element. The five elements of fire, wind, space, water and earth are the foundation of Central Asian cosmology, medicine and healing; the core theory being that everything that exists in the universe is made of the five elements and therefore is responsible for the formation of each tissue cell.
By practicing Trul khor, one will be able to identify and alleviate physical discomfort and pain and emotional and mental disturbances. These easy to perform yet powerful healing exercises can be used as a support to other meditation practices or practiced alone to clear obstacles caused by disease and strong negative emotions and balance and harmonize one’s energy field.
