Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being: The Science and Practice of Healing Your Body, Energy, and Mind

by Alejandro Chaoul

While yoga has become a common practice for health and well-being,the ancient tools of Tibetan yoga remained secret for centuries. Translated as "magical movements," Tibetan yoga can improve physical strength and support positive emotional and mental health, healing the body-energy-mind system with a full sense of awareness and harmony. In Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being, Alejandro Chaoul, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Director of Education at the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, focuses on the five principal breath-energies of Tibetan medicine and yoga and how special body movements for each engage the five chakras in our body. Chaoul shares his experiences of daily practice in different settings and cultures, with a focus on simplicity, accessibility, and ease for your real-world lifestyle. He also provides a contextual understanding of the history and lineage of Tibetan yoga so that you will fully be able to remove obstacles from your life and welcome in health and well-being.

Really good. Clear and making concepts very accessible. Very practical too with detailed descriptions of 3 key Tibetan meditation/breathing exercises (and links to their audio versions) & 16 main tibetan yoga movements.
Clear comparison to Indian yoga & Qi gong.

I believe the author had good intentions writing this. I was first curious to see what it is all about, and then stubborn to finish it (#ocd). Now happy it is over.

In depth information

I didn’t know Tibetan Yoga existed before getting this book. The author goes through all the movements in depth. It comes across really clearly that the author is someone who is very familiar with this form of yoga. They make it clear this is not to be taken lightly. If you watch videos of these movements online you’ll see there is a lot of focusing your mind. There are only a few minutes, but if you follow the instructions here you’ll find it quite relaxing. This yoga really good before meditating.
