Details of this retreat

Tummo, or Inner Heat Yoga, is the foundation of all the advanced tantric yogas. It is called the foundation stone or pillar of the classic six yoga schema.

The practice of Tummo can enhance meditation, while transforming our energy and emotions, and refining mind and consciousness. The subtle body exercises and breath practices associated with Inner Heat Yoga can open one to the essence of mind and energy - our own natural awareness.

In this progressive study of practical training in the tantric yogas, we will explore the ‘windmind’ or the subtle interconnection between our mind and energy. In this retreat you will learn how to heal the mind and emotions through specific applications of tummo and silent meditation, as well as refine the art of meditation through the yogas of the breath.

In this retreat, Dr. James’ specialty in Tsalung trulkhor will be highlighted in terms of the applications of Tibetan Yoga for advanced meditation.

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.
