Pronounced “Koom Nyay,” this unique healing system based on Tibetan medicine and body-mind disciplines of Buddhism, provides a doorway to insight and meditation. The Kum Nye system was developed by Tarthang Rinpoche specifically to help Westerners overcome problems with stress or difficulties in entering meditation. The massage and movement exercises of Kum Nye shape a path of physical ease and meditative calm that stimulates mental and physical energy. Kum Nye exercises heal the separation between body and mind and promote a relaxed, natural awareness that easily deepens toward meditative concentration.
No prior experience in yoga or Tibetan yoga is required. Participants are invited to adjust the movements and postures according to their individual capacity and will be offered guidance and adjustments as needed. Participants are also encouraged to discuss any relevant health concerns with the instructor. A waiver will be provided to complete at the time of class sign-up.
