Yantra Yoga Teacher Training Level 2, April 14–23, 2025 at Dzamling Gar

Since those distant days, Yantra Yoga – one of the first practices taught by Rinpoche – continues to be one of the main gateways to the Teaching and remains an invaluable tool capable of bringing benefit and relief to many in this corrupted age, where stress, discomfort, and confusion are increasingly widespread, and Yoga is often reduced to yet another business.

Yantra Yoga Retreat with Oni McKinstry in Phendeling

Oni taught the preliminary exercises and all five series of yantras, including the first to fourth series in both first and second variations. She also taught all five pranayamas. The teaching was comprehensive and integrated, respecting the diverse levels and physical conditions of the participants. At the same time, it challenged each of us to go beyond our limits and deepen our personal practice. Oni is an outstanding teacher, whom we hold in deep respect.
