My White Tigress Yoga system was developed between 2007 and 2017, when I was still a yoga teacher. I shared it with my students, and with readers from my blogs.
This small study guide is the original 2017 manuscript.
The name White Tigress was coined by Hsi Lai. A writer and spiritual seeker who wrote a book ÒThe Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress; Secrets of the Female Taoist MastersÓ, in 2001.
But there is no such thing as "the yoga of the White Tigress".
If you read the original book, you'll discover a series of physical exercises.
Some of them - that engage the pelvic floor, as well as the ones that would make you a qualified applicant for the Chinese State Circus - could pass as yoga. But you'd have to excavate this yoga from underneath breast massage, dances for a thin waistline and a bra that keeps your nipples free to breathe. So they're not easy to find.
The second book that inspired me is The Bible For All Women's Yoga; Hormone Yoga Therapy by Dinah Rodrigues. It's not on Amazon anymore, but you can buy it (as well as DVDs and other books on the topic) on her own website.
The third book that inspired me is Luna Yoga from Adelheid Olig.
Whose gentle exercises I will use especially in the first few schedules, but whose general idea of how to do it - namely to FEEL into them, instead of performing them mechanically - I recommend you use throughout all the schedules.
Learn to trust yourself.
I think an intuitive approach is exactly what people need this day and age.
So let's start.
