The system of Kum Nye Yoga presented in the West is drawn from the training and experience of Tarthang Tulku, a fully trained Tibetan lama. Kum Nye was introduced to the West with the publication of the books Kum Nye – Tibetan Yoga (Dharma Publishing, 1978) and Joy of being – Advanced Kum Nye practices for Relaxation, Integration & Concentration (Dharma Publishing, 2006)
The Buddha’s early disciples already used Kum Nye Yoga, and in later times Tibetan yogic practitioners continued its practice.
In Tibet, Kum Nye was not very common. The written Kum Nye tradition is contained in Tibetan medical texts as well as in ancient Vinaya texts of Buddhism. These texts deal with living according to physical and universal laws, and include extensive descriptions of healing practices.
As part of the lineage of spiritual and medical theories and practices that links Tibetan with the Indian and Chinese medicines, Kum Nye was brought to the West in 1969 by Tarthang Tulku.

I have began practicing yoga in 2002 as part of my massage training; I continued practicing various styles of Hatha, Iyengar and Vinyasa yoga mostly by going to classes at yoga studios. In 2006, I went to my first Kum Nye- Tibetan Yoga class and my life changed forever. After I year of going to two classes a week at the Yoga studio in Whitefish Montana, I moved to Ratna Ling Retreat Center in Northern California that is directly connected to lineage of Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche. Since,I have become an instructor and torch bearer of Kum Nye.
