Look at appearance–emptiness forms,

Listen to sound and emptiness sounds,

Rest in the mind’s nature—clarity and emptiness,

And when your thoughts free themselves,

Laugh! Ho laugh! HA HA! HEE HEE!

Join us for a transformative weekend of Dakini Subtle Body Yoga, where we will explore the dance of appearance and emptiness through movement, postures, and energetic awareness. These embodied practices become your sadhana—a means of accomplishment, complementing and deepening your Dharma path.

Through subtle movement, breath, and awareness, we begin to release energetic knots in the subtle body, bringing balance and harmony to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of our being.

What is Subtle Body Yoga?

Rooted in the Buddhist Tantric tradition, Subtle Body Yoga awakens and aligns your energetic and subtle body. It integrates ancient yogic wisdom with modern biomechanics, chanting, breathwork, and meditation. This practice prepares the body for meditation and offers a gateway to deep inner transformation.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is open to all—no prior experience in yoga or Tibetan Buddhist practice is necessary. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this 2-day immersion in Dakini Subtle Body Yoga will enhance your Dharma journey and support your life of service.

Reading Assignment

Please read Chapter Eight: “Dakini as the Subtle Body” (pp. 180–202) from Dakini Journey in the Contemporary World by Choying Khandro.

SBT Student Reflections

Hear directly from past students about the impact of Subtle Body Yoga. 

"Dakini’s Whisper Subtle Body Yoga is a rare blend of tradition, embodiment, and joy. This practice continues to deepen my connection to lineage teachings. Each session feels like a gentle yet powerful shower for the energy body—clearing tension and blockages with ease. I highly recommend to anyone curious about exploring the subtle body, or to experienced practitioners looking to open more deeply within their path.”

~Kelly H.

I met Khandro-La for the first time at a SBY teaching. It was the first seed of the practice that has guided me for years, brining the Dharma into direct experience. I learned that the path can be embodied through active engagement with all that we are, joyfully and spontaneously. Relating to the subtle body through movement is fundamental to my understanding of Tantric practice, so this rare teaching is the key toward actualising its result. It is also a chance to have fun, and be shaken out of the thoughts and worries that trap us! 

~Alimma A.

Subtle Body Yoga is one of my favorite Dakinis Whisper offerings. Untying knots, letting loose and embodying the teachings is a blessing that Khandro-la leads with her gentle care.  All kinds of feelings come up but underlying it all is joyfulness! It is a gift you don’t want to miss.
