Thulkor Exercise

Thulkor ExerciseDzogchen Yoga or Thulkor is the system which came down unbroken through oral transmission from Zhang-Zhung Nyen Gyu lineages. The core of the transmission 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 fiber of Tibetan medicine and healing; their core theory being everything that exists in this universe is made of the five elements and therefore responsible for the formation of each tissue cell. In practicing Trul khor, one will be able to identify and alleviate physical discomfort or pain, 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 or strong negative emotions, and to clear, balance and harmonize one’s energy field.



Trul khor traditionally consists of 108 movements, including bodily movementsor dynamic asana, incantations or mantra,breath work, and visualizations, all timed to heart rhythms. The flow or vinyasa Sanskrit of movements are enlikened to beads on mala. The body postures or asanas of ancient Himalayan yogis are depicted on the walls of the Dalai Lama's summer temple of Lukhang.
