With Ido Portal, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Alejandro Chaoul

What happens when a world-renowned movement teacher and a Tibetan meditation master meet to talk about the body, mind, and freedom? In this lively conversation hosted by Alejandro Chaoul, Ido Portal and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche explore how movement can unlock “the issues in the tissues,” awaken joy, and support emotional and spiritual healing, while stillness deepens clarity, presence, and inner freedom. Drawing from martial arts, capoeira, Bön Buddhist practice, and real-life stories of pain, aging, and burnout, they share practical insights on making everyday life a 24-hour practice—whether you are walking, hanging from a bar, or sitting on a cushion. This dialogue is an invitation to rethink what it means to “practice,” and to discover how befriending both movement and stillness can transform your relationship to your body, your emotions, and your life.
