Tibetan Yoga of Movement Perfect Rhythm of Life From Fabio Andrico & Laura Evangelisti

Experienced mentors Fabio Andrico and Laura Evangelista, along with other yantra yoga practitioners, explain and demonstrate the principles and techniques of ancient yoga, which they learned from the Dzogchen teacher Chogyal Namkhai Norbu. The movements of this dynamic and unique system of Tibetan yoga can bring profound and lasting physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. Filmed in Merigar, Italy, it will inspire you to start, update, continue and deepen your daily practice under the guidance of qualified teachers.

Yantra Yoga is one of the oldest documented yoga systems in the world. The unique sequences of body positions and movements, combined with conscious breathing, are designed to coordinate and organize vital energy, allowing the mind to relax and achieve a state of true balance. Yantra Yoga, containing a wide range of exercises available to everyone, is an exceptional method for relaxing, gaining health and inner balance.

Two discs are dedicated to each level: the first contains detailed explanations of the movements, and the second is designed to do practice. At the first level, three preparatory groups of exercises are explained, as well as the first group of yantras; Particular attention is paid to the beginning and end of the practice session. The second level, intended for those who are already familiar with the first level, contains explanations of the other four groups of yantras, as well as pranayama and rhythmic breathing.

“The Eight Movements of Yantra Yoga” is a practical and simple guide to study and practice this ancient Tibetan practice. With the help of eight movements of yantra yoga, energy is balanced and increased in an effective way. These eight yantras work on the physical level (physical movements) and on the subtle level through coordination of movements with breathing. The film is preceded by the introduction of Namkhai Norbu on the origin and purpose of the eight movements of yantra yoga.

Namkhai Norbu began to teach Western students yantra yoga in the seventies, when he moved to Naples. In the 80s and 90s, he taught two Italians – Fabio Andrico and Laura the Evangelist – as yantra instructors, and now they continue the tradition of yantra yoga in the West. They regularly provide instructor courses and intensive Tibetan practices around the world. In 1999, a video was shot to help practitioners.

I remind those who forgot: an interview with Fabio Andrico is on the website of V. Smirnov http://vsmirnov.com.ua/content/view/33/17/lang,ru/

Excerpt from this interview:

– Is it possible to practice Yantra yoga outside the context of Dzogchen teachings?

FA: Yes, it is possible. We have one more internal aspect, only for those people who want to follow the transmission of the teachings of Namkhai Norbu, for the simple reason that this aspect is connected with the activity of prana and requires special attention. Therefore, it is better to transmit and practice such an aspect in the measurement of transmission and Teaching.

But there is one basic aspect of Yantra yoga associated with the practice of “eight movements” – a sequence of movements that help to re-coordinate, balance and improve our energy and breathing, this aspect is very good for everyone, you can freely buy a training video and do not even need to to study with a teacher, which is actually necessary for all other yantra practice, since it is not very smart and useful to learn the practice from books. That is, there is an open part of Yantra Yoga where you can practice different warm-ups, eight movements, cleansing your breath, basic yantras – this is open to all, you do not need to be a Dzogchen practitioner or a Buddhist. But if you understand the principles of Yantra Yoga, its value, history, then people become interested in the Dzogchen teachings and then, of course, there is the opportunity to contact the teacher, get the transfer and practice, but at the same time, in no case is the task of attracting people or missionary work. It always depends on the people themselves whether interest will spontaneously, freely and independently develop in them – and only this matters, it is not a matter of missionary work and we are not interested in the emergence of “Yantra Yoga fans” around the world. But if people show interest, then we try to give opportunities to study and practice.
