# Institut Maurice Daubard ## Posts - [EN_Tradition](https://institutmauricedaubard.com/en/tradition-2/): TRADITION Tradition is one of the core strengths of Institut Maurice Daubard, a school dedicated to the transmission of Tummo Yoga and contemplative practices rooted in lineage and lived experience. In an age where spiritual and somatic disciplines are often fragmented, simplified, or commercialised, IMD remains grounded in a living tradition passed down through generations of practice, discipline, and transmission. In this reflection, Patrick, senior teacher at Institut Maurice Daubard, shares what “tradition” truly means within the context of IMD—where this tradition comes from, how it has been transmitted, and why it continues to shape the way we teach today.
