Interview on Inner Strength by Tyler Ryan

By studying with Lama Tantrapa for more than a decade, Tyler Ryan learned a great deal about Inner Strength Training - the dynamic mind-body practice he now leads our community members through. This practice, also known as Harmonious Strength Training, uses opposing forces within the body: pressing and pulling the left and right sides against one another as well as engaging muscles antagonists by creating intentional resistance through movement to awaken greater strength, awareness, and vitality from within.

Rather than simply going through a series of repetitive exercises, you will learn to explore how to actively engage more of the muscle fibers you already have, while bringing awareness and circulation into areas that may feel numb, dormant, tight, or disconnected. After sufficient strength training, you will also enjoy releasing accumulated tension, which will increase your mobility and flexibility, improve coordination, and cultivate a deeper sense of embodied strength and flow.

Each class empowers the entire body through a combination of dynamic and fluid movements as well as seated and reclining exercises, allowing you to experience strength and mobility from many different angles. At the end of each practice session, you will gradually transitions from energizing resistance work to softer movements and self-massage techniques, helping your body unwind, integrate, and settle into a state of greater ease.

Inner Strength Training is ultimately about learning to work with your body, discovering how opposing forces can become complementary, how tension can transform into strength, and how conscious movement can create greater freedom.
