About me
Lu Jong: Tibetan Healing Yoga for Modern Life
Gentle Movement. Deep Presence. Inner Balance.
There are moments when the body feels heavy, the mind crowded, and the heart quietly asking for a way home. For anyone in that space—whether navigating stress, transition, burnout, or spiritual exhaustion—Lu Jong offers a gentle return.
Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist wisdom, Lu Jong is an ancient healing practice that restores harmony through movement, breath, and stillness. It opens the body’s 72,000 subtle channels (tsa), clearing stagnation, awakening vitality, and reconnecting us to our natural state of balance.
This is not a practice of performance—it is a path of presence.
All classes are offered freely, without cost or expectation of donations. Sessions are open to all, regardless of age, background, body, or experience. Each class is an invitation to soften, breathe, and return to the quiet wisdom within.
These teachings were brought to the West by Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche and sustained by the work of Nangten Menlang International in Austria. With deep reverence, I honor him and the entire team for their unwavering care and preservation of this sacred lineage.
My own journey began over two decades ago in a season of inner depletion. Yoga became a lifeline—first through Ashtanga and Bikram, and later through Kundalini Yoga. I became a certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor in 2012 under the guidance of Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa at Golden Bridge Global Yoga and received Reiki Master certification in 2013 through the International Reiki Institute.
Since 2005, my spiritual path has been deeply shaped by Buddhism. In 2019, I became a student of His Eminence Khangser Rinpoche. With his blessings, I now assist and co-facilitate weekly Lamrim and Vajrayana teachings through the Dipkar Vajrayana Institute.
Before devoting myself fully to this path of healing and spiritual practice, I spent over 25 years in public service in the United States—as a counselor, educator, and public administrator. I worked closely counseling students and earlier served as a congressional aide, gaining experience in advocacy, public policy, and education. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology (MACP), a Master of Public Administration (MPA), a Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership & Management, and a BA in Sociology and Spanish Literature from Texas A&M International University.
That journey included teaching Spanish literature in public schools using stories to build identity. I also helped produce humanitarian documentaries across Canada, the U.S., and South America. Over the years, I served on boards dedicated to micro-grants, classical music, the arts, and trauma recovery (RAINN) and contributed to public health and wellness efforts along the U.S.-Mexico border. These included initiatives like Healthy Texas Mothers and Babies, the Nurse-Family Partnership, the March of Dimes, and FEMA surplus programs supporting vulnerable communities. I retired in 2022 at 47, profoundly grateful for a life rooted in service.
Now, life moves at a different rhythm. My husband and I split our time between the quiet grace of San Miguel de Allende and the vibrant pulse of Mexico City. I’m a mother to two beautiful children and a bonus mom to three radiant daughters. Our two fur babies keep things playful and present.
Lu Jong is the heart of what I offer today. It is a space to breathe, restore, and remember who you are beneath the noise. Not just movement—it is medicine. A return to wholeness.
Note: These practices are offered in support of overall wellness and are not a substitute for professional medical care.
