Stephanie Johnston leads this three-hour May 21 workshop on lujong, a set of 15 movements devised by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. Lujong is an adaptable method to increase energy and pliancy of body and mind, regardless of one’s practice and physical condition. This provides an opportunity to learn and practice in advance of our upcoming annual sangha retreat, where lujong sessions typically begin each day.
