Relaxing from Within: SLIDING SCALE

Join this special offering by Ratna Ling Resident Teacher, Karmyn Ojeda, for a weekend of relaxation techniques from Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga, as taught by Tarthang Tulku.

This winter, use the season for what itʻs designed for: rest, slowness, and introspection.  If you are needing to slow down the pace, this weekend was designed for you. Step away for three days to simply soften and breathe.

This retreat, devoted to relaxation, invites a new way of being—one of deep listening, embodiment, and gently returning to yourself. Guided by a resident teacher of Ratna Ling, these sessions are based on the subtle yet powerful practices of Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga, as taught by Tarthang Tulku. Through mindful movement, breath, and deep relaxation, you’ll begin to unwind layers of tension held in the body and nervous system. As your edges soften, a natural sense of ease and presence can emerge—one that doesn’t need to be forced or achieved, but simply allowed.

Held within the quiet beauty of Ratna Ling’s forest sanctuary, this immersive weekend offers space to slow down and reconnect with your innate capacity for awareness and calm. You’ll explore how to meet life’s challenges with more openness and fluidity, shifting from habitual patterns of rigidity into a calm and clear way of being. Whether you are new to Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga or returning to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a nurturing environment to rest, restore, and experience the quiet strength of a relaxed being.

This retreat includes:

Tibetan Relaxation Exercises (Kum Nye)
Mindfulness Practices
Self-Massage Techniques
Sound Bowl Meditation
Time and space to reflect and explore
