My journey with the five Tibetan rites

The five Tibetan Rites are a daily practice to build prana and power up the chakras…or so I’ve heard. But are they really? The inner scientist in me had to find out. So I’m at it again…experimenting on myself to see what I can discover—not the first time I’ve done this, and surely won’t be […]

"When I think of Rupali Embry and Tania Ingrahm, I immediately envision two powerful, super human, yoginis donned in brilliant, orange Om capes with the letters S-H-A-N-T-I emblazoned on the front. This dynamic duo has truly come to this planet to gift and share with the world their accumulated 55 years of yoga experience. The foremost attribute that sets these two apart is their ability to authentically 'walk the walk' and not just 'talk the talk'." ~ Mandy, Honolulu, HI
