Details of this retreat

Tummo, or Inner Heat Yoga, is a quintessential method of tantric yoga of the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition. The practice of tummo includes various breathing, visualization and postural techniques, with a specific orientation toward the cultivation of joy, blissful awareness and compassion.

In this extended weekend retreat, we will explore different traditions to clarify the foundations necessary for skillful practice.

Participants will learn fundamental breath and postural practice and will get an overview of the theoretical and practical dimensions of Tummo.

Emphasis will be on clarifying foundations of this meditation practice as well as subtle energetic principles.

This retreat is suggested for participants with a pre-existing background in Vajrayana Buddhism.

Weekend retreat stay

The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.

Lovely

I had a fascinating and enlightening experience during an “Energy squared Reiki,” class at Menlo this past week. The grounds, rooms, facilities amenities and spa at Menla were all beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was delicious and nourishing. I can say only good things about both Menla and the program I attended, and would wholeheartedly recommend both.
