The Six Yogas of Naropa (also called Six Dharmas of Naropa) are a comprehensive compilation of advanced practices of Tibetan Tantrayana Buddhism intended to lead to Buddhahood in an accelerated manner. Sources of this collection of tantric practices are amongst others the Guhyasamaja Tantra, the Hevajra Tantra and the Chakrasamvara Tantra, which go back all the way to Buddha Shakyamuni. The Indian Mahasiddha Naropa, a student of Tilopa, put the practices into a systematically documented form and passed the Six Yogas on to his student Marpa, who then passed them on to his own student, the renowned Tibetan yogi Milarepa.

The Six Yogas work with the subtle body, particularly through the generation of the Tummo-Inner Fire, and form the basis of the inner yoga practices of Mahamudra. They are mainly practiced in the Kagyu school but are also important in the Gelug tradition, where they were introduced by Je Tsongkhapa.

The Six Yogas of Naropa are:

- Tummo: The Yoga of Inner Fire
- Gyulü: The Yoga of the Illusory Body
- Ösel: The Yoga of Clear Light
- Milam: The Yoga of the Dream State
- Bardo: The Yoga of the Intermediate State
- Phowa: The Yoga of the Transference of Consciousness at the time of death

Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche is planning on giving a small practice for each of the Six Yogas but the focus of this Retreat is on giving introductory teachings on each of the Six Yogas.
