Nejang is a gentle healing yoga practice consisting of twenty four simple physical exercises which use breath work and self-massage to open the channels, balance the internal energies, relax the mind, and nourish the inner organs. With roots in the Kalachakra tradition, such exercises have been prescribed by Tibetan physicians for centuries to improve health and vitality and to support spiritual practice. For the first time ever in the English language, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, a traditional Tibetan physician and yogic practitioner offers an explanation of these Nejang exercises and their historical, cultural context for the benefit of people of all ages, physical conditions, spiritual backgrounds and levels of experience.
Dr. Nida Chenagtsang is a traditional Tibetan physician and lineage holder of the Yuthok Nyingthig, the unique Vajrayana Buddhist spiritual healing tradition of Tibetan Medicine. He has published several books and articles on Tibetan medicine, meditation, and yoga, and his extensive research and revival of ancient Tibetan healing methods has earned him great acclaim in both East and West. Dr. Nida is the Co-Founder and Medical Director of Sorig Khang International: Foundation for Traditional Tibetan Medicine (sorig.net) with branch centers in over forty countries worldwide; Co-Founder of the International Ngakmang Institute established to preserve and maintain the Rebkong non-monastic yogi/ini culture within modern Tibetan society; and Co-Founder and Medical and Spiritual Director of the Sorig Institute (www.soriginstute.org) and Pure Land Farms (www.purelandfarms.org), Centers for Tibetan Medicine, Meditation and Rejuvenation in Los Angeles, California.
