Key Points

Tibetan yoga and modern postural yoga share common elements and different emphases.

The practices of Tibetan yoga focus on the circulation of prana and the transformation of metabolic heat into mystic fire.

Tapas (heat) is an important aspect of yoga practice, burning away afflictive emotions and expanding our sense of self.

The origins of postural yoga can be traced back to Tibet and the Himalayan world. Tantric Buddhism originated from the exchange of knowledge along ancient trade routes, such as the Silk Roads.

The cultivation of inner fire, or tummo, is a common practice in various traditions, including the Wim Hof method and ancient Chinese Yangshen traditions.

Transformative heat is associated with powerful goddesses in both Hindu tantra and tantric Buddhist texts.

Tantra embraces a body-positive approach, celebrating sensory awareness and the potential of the human body.
