This is the third volume in the Kum Nye series, following Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga and The Joy of Being.
These movements, postures and dance sequences are invigorating rather than soothing, designed to energize the body and to wake up consciousness. Related to the Tibetan tradition of ritual meditative dance, the practices are dynamic and expressive: they emphasize the transformative power of yoga, helping us make meaningful changes in our energy levels, patience, tolerance, and physical and mental flexibility.
Kum Nye is the art of making friends with all experience: practicing these gestures we become familiar with the body's subtle flows of energy. Through movement, energy expresses meaning and liberates the mind.
Step- by-step color photographs of the 75 exercises complement the accessible text.
