1. Improve mobility
Refine strength and mobility through precise Hatha Yoga postures that restore natural range of motion and energetic flow in the body.
2. Learn the subtle body
Gain direct experiential understanding of the subtle body, including prāṇa, channels, and inner circulation, through embodied practice rather than theory.
3. Deepen your breath
Train the breath to move intelligently through the system using specialized pranayama that stabilizes the nervous system and amplifies vitality.
4. Expand your heart
Open the heart through an ancient Tibetan compassion practice that integrates emotional depth with energetic coherence.
5. Settle your mind
Settle the mind naturally by unifying posture, breath, and attention, allowing mental clarity to arise without force.
6. Cultivate insight
Cultivate insight by experiencing how body, energy, and awareness function as a single integrated field rather than separate parts.
02/ Yoga and Buddhism have always had a shared historical environment.
Master Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra, along with later texts such as the Amṛta Siddhi and the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, emerged within and were shaped by shared Buddhist and tantric milieus. While modern practice often treats these traditions as separate or unrelated, The Amṛta Thread restores their original continuity, recognizing that Haṭha Yoga itself first appears within Buddhist tantric textual lineages before being systematized in later yogic manuals.
03 / Lineage
Yoga asana and, especially, pranayama and inner-body practices are far safer, more coherent, and effective when they arise from a living oral transmission passed directly from teacher to student.
