Training in Lu Jong – the Tibetan Healing Yoga
The teacher training starting May 2026 at Buddhas Weg monastery is held in German. However, I also offer teacher trainings in English personally in Barcelona – please get in touch to find out about upcoming dates.
A Transformation of Body and Mind – 1 May 2026 to March 2027
Start 1 May 2026, at Buddhas Weg monastery (Odenwald, Germany) & online via Zoom Small classes, max. seven participants
Lu Jong is more than a movement of the body – Lu Jong is an ancient tradition that unites Tibetan medicine and Tibetan Buddhism. The hermits of the Himalaya have used these movements as a spiritual practice and to stay healthy for thousands of years. Lu Jong strengthens your body, increases flexibility and brings your mind more and more to stillness and peace. It is meditation in movement and helps to heal emotional wounds. Lu Jong dissolves blockages and brings the body into balance. It works with our channels, our mind and our energy – and does good on every level. It is simple and yet intense.
The Power of Lu Jong
The Tibetan healing yoga Lu Jong follows the tradition of Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, who has personally selected and certified all instructors. This ensures that the training is authentic and of the highest quality – a training in which the power of Tibetan yoga is preserved, and which gives you a thorough grounding in the background of the practice through a comprehensive handbook.
During the training – ten days at Buddhas Weg monastery near Mannheim and two and a half weekends online – you will learn Lu Jong in both practice and theory, and receive comprehensive preparation for teaching it yourself. Over these two weeks we will immerse ourselves deeply in the movements and experience their power – on a physical and health level as well as a spiritual one. At the same time you will also receive training in the Tibetan Five Elements Practices!
What You Will Learn
You will gain not only deep insight into the 23 movements of Lu Jong, but also into breathing techniques, mindfulness meditation, relaxation exercises and much more. You will also receive an introduction to Tibetan medicine as well as the remarkable wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism – giving you a true understanding of the roots of Tibetan yoga.
And of course: after completing the training you will be ready to stand in front of a group yourself. You will be able to guide and teach both the Lu Jong movements and meditation.
“Lu Jong is a declaration of love to myself”

Masterclass
Tulku Lobsang himself will give you his blessing and transmission at the conclusion of the training in a three-day Masterclass. In the practice of Lu Jong as well as in the Tibetan Five Elements Practices – for both of which you will receive a certificate issued by Rinpoche’s organisation Nangten Menlang. After successful completion you can also register as a teacher on Rinpoche’s website www.tulkulobsang.org and gain access to the teacher area.
This training is suitable for everyone – whether you want to teach or simply go deeper. Lu Jong can be passed on in courses, but can also be integrated into therapeutic work or meditation practice.
Requirements
You don’t need to be flexible or have any experience with yoga. What matters is simply that you have a joy for Lu Jong, for the background of Tibetan Buddhism and its ancient wisdom. However, you should already be familiar with Lu Jong – and you can get to know Lu Jong at any time with me in a free trial session online.

When can I start teaching?
You can start teaching after passing all exams and completing the training with me. However, you will only receive your certificate after the Masterclass with Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche.
My goal: The most wonderful thing for me is to watch you grow – to experience how you become stronger and more radiant every day, finding more and more your own stillness and inner strength. My goal is to accompany you through this process of transformation – and to give you everything you need to teach Lu Jong successfully (or simply to practise it for yourself)!
Position, Movement and Breath
Lu Jong, the Tibetan healing yoga, is a unique, holistic practice. It is meditation in movement, it helps to find inner calm and peace, to heal emotional wounds and to bring the body into greater balance. Lu Jong works with our channels, our mind and our energy – and simply does good. Lu Jong has nothing to do with performance – it is simple and at the same time very intense. Lu Jong is a path to coming home to yourself, learning to like yourself more and more, while becoming both stronger and gentler.
With Lu Jong we combine position, movement and breath. Through this – together with mindfulness – we bring body and mind into complete harmony. Through position and movement we repeatedly apply pressure to specific points on the channels, opening blockages. We work gently with the spine, creating space around the vertebrae and touching secret points to release emotional blockages. We nourish the joints by dissolving blockages that would otherwise manifest as illness. Conscious breathing brings us to inner stillness. As mentioned: Lu Jong is meditation in movement.
10 days at the monastery – and three online weekend sessions.
A training can be intensive. If questions arise: I am here for you.
Free participation in the weekly online Lu Jong class.
At the concluding three-day Masterclass (online & in person) you will receive the blessing and transmission of Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche.
FAQ
Why in-person and online?
Completing a training in two weeks is not, in my experience, effective. Body movements like Lu Jong in particular need time to settle into the body. That is why I give part of the training in person – here you can step completely out of your daily life and focus on Lu Jong, on yourself and on all the processes set in motion by Lu Jong.
Afterwards you return to your daily life, practise regularly on your own – and we continue working together on the details, I answer your questions and doubts.
Meeting in person multiple times would mean a great deal of effort, cost and holiday days for each of us. The ten days at Buddhas Weg are the perfect start to the months that follow.
Who is this training suitable for?
This training is truly suitable for everyone – whether you want to teach or simply go deeper. Lu Jong can be passed on in courses, but can also be integrated into therapeutic work or meditation practice.
Do we really spend ten full days learning Lu Jong at Buddhas Weg?
Not quite. The evenings are intentionally free. Our bodies and minds also need downtime and the chance to relax. Learning non-stop is not helpful – what has been learned also needs time to settle. And the Odenwald is a perfect place for a walk. We will also take the occasional free afternoon – there is even a swimming pool in the neighbouring village…
I’m not so young anymore – can I still become a teacher?
But of course!
It is not about perfection, but about opening channels, health and transformation.
Lu Jong can even be done sitting on a chair. We adapt the movements to your body – what matters is simply that you know how they are in their “ideal” form.
How do the exams work?
Quite relaxed – it is not our goal for you to fail! 😊 The practical exam is taken with me during the training, in a familiar environment. It will consist of you explaining and demonstrating one or more movements, as if you were teaching them to us. And that is exactly what we practise a great deal during the course. The written exam is taken online – and you can even use the handbook.
Are there refresher courses for teachers?
Yes, there are two options.
I offer regular refresher courses for my students – in Barcelona and online.
And every year there is a Masterclass with Tulku Lobsang. Rinpoche wishes us all to refresh our knowledge regularly. This means: you can and are very welcome to come regularly, but you don’t have to! The goal of each Masterclass is to bring our knowledge and skills up to date, to identify errors that may have crept in, to learn from each other, share experiences, deepen the practice and above all renew the connection to Tulku Lobsang and the Lu Jong lineage – so that Lu Jong retains its power and spirituality into the future.
How did you come to Lu Jong yourself?
After a longer – not entirely conscious – search, I discovered Lu Jong 20 years ago. And from the very beginning it was clear: this is it! Even the very first movement went right to my core. I felt more present, clearer. The journey home after that first class – it was incredible. Everything seemed so simple. I wanted to learn all the movements as quickly as possible. Which I did, thanks to my teacher Nelly Porschet.
One day I then met Tulku Lobsang at a seminar. And again: it hit me almost like lightning – slowly at first, but all the more intensely for it. A year passed before I attended my first retreat: Tummo, the inner fire. And that changed my life even more profoundly. I have now been interpreting retreats, seminars and talks by Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche for many years – for a long time in Germany and now mainly online. And above all I teach Lu Jong, of course – since 2010 – and have the privilege of training teachers myself.
Where is Buddhas Weg monastery?
Buddhas Weg is in the German forest Odenwald, not far from Mannheim, Frankfurt or Heidelberg. It is a place of stillness. You can take wonderful walks, sit in the beautiful garden or make a trip to the neighbouring village. Or of course practise together outside in good weather.
The evenings are deliberately free – so that what has been learned can settle. We can practise on our own, relax, chat or simply explore the surroundings.
