Mountain Stream Practice
Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga and Meditation – Suitable for Beginners
In this retreat we will experience how through movement we can discover a greater stillness – and how in that stillness we come alive.
Based on traditional Tibetan healing practices, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind.
Through presentations, reflections and guided practice we will explore what it means – and feels like – to “find your flow” both in meditation and in everyday life.
What Mountain Stream Practice is
- A very effective gateway to meditation for beginners, while for more seasoned practitioners it will be an opportunity to deepen their practice
- By calming the restless flow of thoughts and opening our senses we can fully appreciate the natural environment – what better place to be than Dzogchen Beara!
- Practising ways to integrate meditative awareness in our everyday life.
