During the yoga practice, our concentration moves from “outside to inside”, therefore we shift our senses from the outside world to inside our bodies. We learn to feel ourselves, to listen to ourselves and to find the source of inexhaustible strength and our center.

The 5 basic exercises to open the 5 elements of LU JONG are particularly effective in the prevention of health problems, above all in people that experience chronic stress. In Tibetan medicine, the disruption of the inner winds (lung) is spoken of as negatively affecting the balance of the 5 elements and the 3 juices or energies (wind, bile and phlegm). That manifests itself as a disruption of our internal powerhouse and is followed by physical and psychological disease (weak immune system, chronic back pain, digestive problems, insomnia, trouble concentrating etc). In the eyes of western medicine, stress is defined as a physical reaction to external or internal burdens. Musicians are often placed under enormous strain for extended periods of time, for example: Perfectionism, intense work and endurance pressures, exaggerated awareness of duty, noise, bullying and so on.

By total emotional exhaustion, the feeling of estrangement from one’s self and/or experiencing other adverse reactions and a diminishing capacity to function (or increasing dissatisfaction with performance) is how the so called ‘Burnout Syndrome’ is described.  

‘Burnout’ is a notion of core energy and means the burning out of fuel elements due to overheating or a decline in cooling.

In TibetanTantrayana burnout is understood as a closure of the energy channels whereby inhibiting the free flow of energy in the body. This impacts on physical, energy and mental levels.
