Dear friends,
with joy we would like to invite you for a retreat of Practice of Tsalung of Dakini Mandarava with Fabio Andrico, which is going to happen on 16th – 22th September 2019 in Phendeling, meditation center of International Dzogchen Community in Czech Republic.
Mandarava Tsalung practice consists of special methods that work with our inner body: channels, energy and vital essences. Connected with the Longsal dream teachings of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu on the Long Life Practice of the Dakini Mandarava, these methods use breathing and visualization to restore the harmony of body and mind and foster clarity and awareness.
Chogyal Namkhai Norbu explains in his book Mandarava Tsalung Practices: "We always prepare for these Tsalung practices by doing the main practice of Mandarava. Here we are explaining Tsalung practices that put a lot of emphasis on heat. We need to develop inner heat because it is important for discovering and developing sensation. The sensation of pleasure is one of the most effective means for having knowledge and realization. If we do not develop inner heat we do not have that possibility."
Retreat is for those, who received transmission to the practice from Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.
Fabio Andrico has been teaching Yoga internationally for over 30 years. He is famous for using great skill, clear precision, and delightful humor to help students deepen their practice and understanding of yoga.
Fabio began teaching yoga in the mid-seventies, when he studied Sivananda Yoga during a trip to India. In the following years, Fabio was exposed to many different yoga traditions. He ultimately met his teacher, Dzogchen Master Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, and had the rare opportunity to learn the Tibetan tradition of Yantra Yoga directly from this lineage holder.
Fabio is both a Hatha Yoga and Yantra Yoga instructor, as well as an authorized trainer of Yantra Yoga teachers. He teaches Yantra Yoga internationally to groups of up to 700 participants in venues on six continents.
