Kum Nye Yoga
Introduced by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche to the West in the 1970s, Kum Nye is an advanced mind-body discipline that is open to all. It uses the physical body, breath, and senses, yet works exclusively with energy, with life living in the body and senses. The practice of Kum Nye aims high and deep, fostering the ‘experience of being well’. It starts with being effective for stress reduction. It calms the mind, energizes the body, and restores a calm rhythmic breath. Kum Nye goes further as it refreshes the senses and ignites inner knowing. With Kum Nye, we can contact the reality of the nature of our being, of life as it lives in the body. Thus, we recapture a sense of freedom to make the most of life.
Kum Nye is presented in a variety of ways, suitable to each and every one. You may like to start with an audio download or receiving ten lessons from our eKum Nye self-study program that consists of eleven levels. Or, you may enjoy studying the three Kum Nye books guided by our line-by-line readings plus commentary. The Academy offers audios and videos per each Kum Nye book plus video training programs, also suitable for becoming a Kum Nye teacher. You can learn more about Kum Nye here.
