The Nei Jing Tu:

an online course

This December, Paul Grilley will be teaching an 8-hour course on the Nei Jing Tu. The course consists of four 2-hour classes via Zoom. Tuition is US$80.

The Nei Jing Tu is a Taoist image of the subtle energies of the brain and spine, including the chakras. We also believe it symbolizes specific breathing and meditation practices. In this course, Paul will explore these practices in detail, alongside parallels from the hatha and tantra yoga traditions of India.

We will study and explore in practice alongside the Nei Jing Tu:

• Pranayama, often translated as 'breathing exercises,' but its more accurate translation is 'control of prana.' Prana is the postulated 'life-force' of the body. It is the binding link between the soul and the physical form.
• Bandhas and Mudras — subtle contractions of the pelvis, abdomen, tongue, and trachea that stimulate and guide prana during pranayama.

Schedule: December 6, 7, 13, and 14, 2025 — 8:30 to 10:30 AM Pacific Time

Format: Online via Zoom (recordings available until the end of 2025)

Cost: US$80

Registration: If the exploration of pranayama, bandha, and mudra interests you, please register here.
