Second Global Kum Nye Festival | Live & Online | Oct 12-13

Healing and Transformation through Kum Nye

We are happy to announce the second annual Global Kum Nye Festival, an annual gathering to celebrate our love of Kum Nye Relaxation together. For over 50 years Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga has been a gateway into Nyingma teachings, bringing ease and joy into the lives of many people. The Global Kum Nye Festival will take place in the second weekend of October, from various locations around the world.

The Global Kum Nye Festival consists of four online practice sessions hosted by experienced Kum Nye teachers from all over the world. Together we will explore the roots of Kum Nye and the joys of its many applications – through short presentations, practices and shared reflections on the potential of Kum Nye.
