Compassion as an Embodied Practice

Why the Heart Needs the Body

In Vajrayana Buddhism, compassion is not only an intention but a felt experience that moves through breath and sensation. Practices like Tong Len engage the entire system.

Hatha Yoga prepares the body to hold this openness without collapse. When posture is stable and breath free, compassion becomes sustainable rather than draining.

This integration of embodiment and compassion is practiced in the monthly Amrita Thread training, where heart-centered practices are supported by regulated breath and posture. Learn more at www.hathavajrayoga.com.
