The Inner Harvest: Tibetan Yoga for the Autumn Equinox

Liz Sung was raised in New York City and now based in Los Angeles, California. She is a practitioner of the Yuthok Nyingthig—a Vajrayana lineage of the Medicine Buddha—under the guidance of her main teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, with whom she also studied Tibetan yoga and Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan Medicine). Influenced by her Korean heritage and the Mahayana Buddhist traditions of her upbringing, Liz began her dharma education under her first teacher in the Gelug lineage.

As the main yoga teacher for the Sowa Rigpa Institute, Liz helped to develop the institute’s Sowa Rigpa Yoga curriculum integrating Tibetan medicine with Tibetan yoga. She holds certifications in Sowa Rigpa, Hatha yoga, trauma-informed yoga, and meditation. Beyond this work, Liz has an extensive and diverse background in design and branding with over 18 years of experience in New York City and Los Angeles. Raised in a family of artists and entrepreneurs, she focuses on creativity, practical application, and integration. In 2015, she founded SAMAYA, a meditation lifestyle brand based in Los Angeles, honoring ancient practices with a contemporary perspective.
