TIBETAN RELAXATION - TARTHANG TULKU


RATING: B+

An interesting account of Tibetan Kum Nye style yoga. The book covers the meditative, massage, and movement sectors of Kum Nye. There are some interesting options in the physical section that I will be working with, although I have one problem preventing me from practicing this yoga in depth ~ I find it most difficult and uncomfortable to breathe through both my nose and mouth at the same time due to sinus problems.

The slow movements and much sitting add more to the relaxation sector than many forms of Yoga. One piece of advice I found extremely helpful was of focusing on the tense area and then going further into a pose. This advice has worked for all my Yoga practice.

I would recommend this book to those seeking a total form of relaxation, a beginners guide to Kum Nye yoga practice, or interested in picking up a few ideas to add to a current practice of relaxation, yoga, or Buddhism.
