The Six Yoga's of Niguma originated with Niguma, an 11th-century realized Buddhist yogini born in a Brahman family in Kashmir. Niguma passed on her yoga to a single disciple, Khyungpo Naljor, with the condition that it remain secret and only passed on to a single disciple for seven generations. In the 13th century it was made more widely available to other practitioners by Sangye Tönpa who was the seventh generation. These 18 exercises are essential instructions for the supreme accomplishment of the path of liberation. They utilize our bodies as a method to cause the ‘prana mind’ to enter the central channel and untie the knots of the channels. The root texts of these practices are only transmitted orally.
Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche will personally transmit the instructions for performing the yogas.
As this presentation is being made over only three days, all participants are urged to attend all sessions in their entirety and to bring a six-layer (4.5” loft) zabuton cushion with them. These are readily available online from a variety of merchants.
