Lu Jong: Tibetan Healing Yoga for Modern Life
Gentle Movement. Deep Presence. Inner Balance.
Well over two decades ago, I turned to yoga feeling exhausted, anxious, and emotionally drained. What began as a search for comfort became a profound journey home to myself. I learned that true peace doesn’t require struggle, and it’s not loud—it arises naturally through breath, movement, and presence. Today, it’s a sacred path I’m honored to walk alongside you.
Lu Jong, the ancient Tibetan healing yoga practice, is at the heart of my daily life. Through gentle, breath-led movements, Lu Jong awakens the body’s innate healing power by opening the 72,000 subtle energy channels known as tsa. These channels often hold tension and imbalance. By gently releasing stagnation, clarity returns, vitality awakens, and calm naturally emerges.
This practice isn’t about performance—it’s about presence.
I offer all classes free of charge and without the expectation of any donations, purposefully removing barriers so everyone can access these teachings regardless of background, income, or circumstance. You’re invited to join gentle introductory sessions or regular weekly group classes, offered online and in person, and open to all ages, bodies, and experience levels. Each class provides quiet nourishment. Breath deepens, the spine softens, and the nervous system settles. Movement guides you home, tension releases, and awareness deepens naturally.
My journey began with the structure and strength of Ashtanga and later Bikram yoga. It deepened through Kundalini Yoga under the guidance of Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, where I became certified as an instructor through Golden Bridge Global Yoga in 2012. I later expanded my path through training as a Reiki Master with the International Reiki Institute in 2013.
Buddhism has guided my spiritual path since 2005. In 2019, I became a student of His Eminence Khangser Rinpoche. Under his guidance—and with his tremendous patience—I assist and co-facilitate weekly Lamrim and Vajrayana teachings through the Dipkar Vajrayana Institute, an organization devoted to offering authentic Buddhist teachings free of charge. These weekly sessions are a source of deep connection and transformation. It is a joy and an honor to support others in integrating Tibetan wisdom with gentleness, clarity, and depth.
With deep gratitude, I honor Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche for bringing Lu Jong to the West. I also extend heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated team at Nangten Menlang International in Austria, and their instructors—especially Alicia Beltrán and Inma Vicente—for their ethical path, unwavering dedication, and inspiring presence. Most importantly, I thank them for preserving and sharing this sacred lineage with integrity and grace.
In my personal life, I’m deeply grateful for the warmth and joy of my beautifully blended family. I’m the proud mother of two exceptional children—a daughter and a son—and feel incredibly blessed with three wonderful bonus daughters who’ve enriched my life in countless ways. Alongside my husband and our beloved fur babies (but oftentimes furbosses), Dave and Josh, my days are filled with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for every moment. I divide my time between the serene beauty of San Miguel de Allende and the vibrant culture of Mexico City.
Throughout my 25-year professional career, I served as a public administrator, counselor, and educator. I also helped produce documentaries highlighting philanthropic work across Canada, Mexico, and South America. With a graduate degree in Public Administration (MPA), a Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership & Management, a Master's in Counseling Psychology (MACP), and a BA in Sociology and Spanish Literature from Texas A&M International University, I dedicated my work to serving community needs. I served on boards focused on classical music, arts advocacy, homelessness (via FEMA surplus programs), and violence recovery through RAINN, while also supporting maternal and infant health initiatives along the U.S.-Mexico border through organizations like Healthy Texas Babies, Nurse-Family Partnership, Any Baby Can, and the March of Dimes. I retired in 2022 at 47, grateful for a career rooted in service.
Today, I offer Lu Jong to those moving through stress, burnout, life transitions, or the quiet ache of spiritual exhaustion. This isn’t just movement—it’s healing. It’s alignment. It’s coming home to the part of yourself that never left. If this resonates, I invite you to begin with a gentle session and return to yourself, one mindful breath at a time.
Note: These offerings support overall wellness but do not substitute professional medical care.
