‘We commonly think of balance as our bodily equilibrium or stability. This understanding of balance is limited, however, and can be expanded by certain exercises and movements which show us how to bring breath, senses, and awareness into balance with our bodies and minds. We can make our whole system balanced, for balance is a natural condition of flowing feeling and energy which pervades the entire body and mind. This balance is the objective of Kum Nye.’
– Tarthang Tulku, Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga
This course will introduce the basic theory and develop the foundational practices of Kum Nye Relaxation, as presented by Tarthang Tulku in the text Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga. The practice of Kum Nye includes stillness and movement, breath, and self-massage.
Each term, through Late Spring of 2025, will highlight a different area of practice. This term will place a special focus on practices in the section Balancing and Integrating Body, Mind, and Senses. We will sample practices from all three stages of this part of the book.
This course is appropriate for those new to Kum Nye Relaxation, as well as those wishing to continue to deepen their understanding and embodiment of Kum Nye.
Instructor: Donna Morton.
