Tibetan Yoga and the Subtle Body
With James Bae
May 22 - 25, 2026
Tibetan yoga is a powerful bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary somatic healing. Rooted in movement, meditation, and subtle energetics, these practices engage not only the physical body but also the deeper layers of the subtle body — where trauma often lives.
In Tibetan yoga, the subtle body is composed of energetic pathways through which the vital winds flow, regulating both our physiology and consciousness. These winds influence the movement of thought, emotion, and life force. Within this energetic system, the vital essence — traditionally associated with reproductive health and immunity — is also key to stress regulation and emotional well-being.
By deeply understanding these channels, we can learn to work directly with these energies to clear blockages, release somatized distress, and cultivate new pathways for mind-body integration for healing from within.
In this workshop, you will be invited to:
- Experience traditional Tibetan yoga movement and meditation practices designed to regulate the subtle body and promote inner balance.
- Explore the energetic channels of the subtle body, including vital winds and vital essence, to better understand how stress and trauma are held and released.
- Cultivate a deeper connection between mind, body, and essence and develop tools for long-term emotional resilience and holistic well-being.
This extended weekend workshop is ideal for those seeking a deep exploration of subtle energetics, nervous system regulation, and the intersection of ancient yogic traditions with contemporary insights from Polyvagal theory and somatic practices.
