Lama Christie Mc Nally Summer Tour 2010
Lama Christie After 12 years at the feet of her guru and a three-year isolated meditation retreat, Lama Christie has emerged as one of the world's first female Lamas.
Lama Christie is a holder of a full and authentic lineage of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, one that has been passed down, unbroken, from teacher to student since the time of the Buddha in 500 B.C. She is also a highly-trained master of Yoga philosophy.
Adept in both the Sanskrit and Tibetan languages, Lama Christie teaches from original sources, translating them into English, often for the first time. She is author of a number of popular books including The Tibetan Book of Meditation, How Yoga Works and Two as One: A Journey to Yoga.
Lama Christie is co-founder of Diamond Mountain, an education center in the remote foothills of Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains, which specializes in advanced studies of Tibetan Buddhism and training in deep retreat. For more information, or to download Lama ChristieÅfs classes and meditations, go to diamondmountain.org or tibetanbookofmeditation.org.
Lama Christie has also co-founded the Yoga Studies Institute (YSI), a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing yoga wisdom to the world. YSI offers courses world-wide in both asana training and yoga philosophy. For more information about Lama ChristieÅfs tours or teachings, go to yogastudiesinstitute.org or twoasoneyoga.com.
In December of this year, Lama Christie will lead 50 people into solitary retreat, for three years, three months, and three days. Their goal is to change the world, by first delving deep within their own minds and hearts to change themselves.
Ian Thorson Ian Thorson, a graduate of Stanford University, has spent the greater part of his life learning how to master both the Tibetan and Indian traditions of yoga. He is emerging now as a popular teacher of yoga asana and philosophy. He and Lama Christie have enjoyed teaching this unique two-people-one-mat yoga throughout the world. He will also be undertaking the Great Retreat, his first, which begins at the end of December this year.
