Nejang Yoga
An Ancient Tibetan Practice for Body, Energy & Mind
taught by Joseph Bailey
ABOUT THE CLASS
Nejang Yoga is an 800-year-old self-healing practice rooted in Tibetan Medicine — a tradition that understands the body not as a collection of separate parts, but as a vast, living network of channels through which energy moves, nourishes, and restores.
These exercises weave together breath, body, and awareness. Nejang works directly on the internal organs and the mental-emotional patterns that shape our wellbeing. These practices were designed to be accessible to almost anyone, and can be woven into your everyday life.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
- Simple movements that support organ health and emotional balance
- How breath and subtle energy work together
- The body-mind-energy continuum as a path to wholeness
- How to adapt specific exercises to your own unique needs
ABOUT THIS PRACTICE
Traditionally held within the inner circles of Tibetan Medicine, Nejang Yoga was brought to the West by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang — a renowned Tibetan medicine physician — so that its benefits could reach all people, regardless of background or belief. Your facilitator, Joseph Bailey, was trained and certified by Dr. Nida and his senior students, following a year of dedicated study in the Tibetan medicine tradition that grounds this practice.

- Are curious about Tibetan healing traditions

About the Teacher
Joseph Bailey's
. . . wisdom traditions inquiry spans over 50 years. It began in the early 1960’s as a child living in Japan as a secular Christian within a military culture. Retreats in India in the early 80’s deepened his practice. The last 30 years’ primary focus has been in the Buddhist tantric and dozoghcen traditions (Tibetan and Indian). He completed a variety of foundational practices and long individual retreats within the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma and Dzogchen paths.
Somatically his path includes a variety of hatha yoga, pranayama and other Indian and contemporary movement practices. The mid-80s found him teaching hatha yoga in the Iyengar and Ashtanga traditions. He has been a student of a variety of somatic practices and lately with Continuum and Imaginal and Ecstatic Movement. Through the 80s and 90s he was a mountain, river, and wilderness guide.
Over the last 5 years he has studied nada yoga (sound practice within the Tibetan and Indian traditions).
Currently he is interested in the tantric and dzogchen wisdom traditions, ancient and contemporary somatic and sounding practices, and mythopoetic inquiries that help people thrive in concert with the more-than-human-world.
