A thorough knowledge of Kumbhaka is essential for the practice of the Seventh Lojong, part of this retreat. We invite the participants to study and practice it independently, since it is not possible to acquire this knowledge in a short time. During the retreat it will be possible to give only some hints. We particularly recommend the recording of the training with Fabio Andrico that you found here. Also this video is in the section reserved for practitioners, so to order it you must first log in or create an account on the Shang Shung Publication website.
