I am trying to add the Six Yogas of Naropa to my dictionary.

according to this page
http://members.tripod.com/~Kalachakra/naropa.htm
l
Tumo - the Yoga of Psychic Heat
Karmamudra - the Yoga of the four Mudras
Jangwa, Gyurwa, Pelwa - the Yoga of Dream Time
Osel, the Yoga of the Clear Light Mind
Gyulu - the Yoga of the Illusory Body
Powa - the Yoga of transference of consciousness

I guess that it is really bothers me to see the format is the Yoga of...

Say, if I translate a paragraph about Six Yogas, then, do I say
"I practice the Yoga of Dream Time, the Yoga of the Illusory Body, the Yoga of transference of consciousness..." is the sentence too long?

is it better to convert it to

Dream Yoga, Illusory Body Yoga, Consciusness Transfererence Yoga...

isnt that more neat and clean? Please advise!

Yes, that is more neat and clean.

Alternatively, you could ...

"I practice the Yogas of Dream Time, Illusory Body, transference of consciousness...

This avoids repeating "yoga" each time.
