On 28 May-6 June 2025 Dzamling Gar organized an In-depth Eight Movements Course combined with Teacher Training and followed by Supervision with our International Teacher Fabio Andrico. Fifteen of us were very fortunate to attend the course in person in Dzamling Gar and over 60 people connected and practiced online.
As Fabio explained each of the movements with great precision, he emphasized the importance of breath in driving and shaping the movement. Many of us could experience how focussing primarily on the breath made the movement itself effortless yet precise, gentle yet yielding the result. As we practiced this, our minds also gradually became relaxed and clear, while the fluid breathing, the key aspect of Yantra Yoga, maintained itself. At the end of the in-depth course, everybody was very joyful, relaxed and grateful.
The next day, Supervision began. Three candidates and a couple of people who joined as participants shared this experience. We all bathed in Fabio’s knowledge, skill, compassion, kindness and humour. The candidates have received innumerable corrections and were practicing during these four days continuously. At the end, two of us, Tatiana Magdieva and Elena Sautkina, were authorized as the Eight Movements instructors. Using Rinpoche’s words, being part of the lineage now gives us the responsibility to teach “in a perfect way” and we promise to do all we can for that.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Rinpoche, Fabio and Laura, as well as all the instructors for transmitting Yantra Yoga worldwide. May many more people connect with the method of Yantra Yoga and practice it in future!
Elena Sautkina and Tatiana Magdieva
