Skillful Means is a contemporary body of knowledge drawn from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.  Introduced to the West in 1976 by Tarthang Tulku, it speaks directly to the Western mind and heart.   Skillful Means is the art of working well.  It allows individuals to get to the root of problems and conflicts, and create avenues for lasting improvements.  We discover that we create our own lives.  We learn to make peace with time, get results and enjoy our lives.

Welcome to Embodied Well-Being

Dear Friends, 
Welcome to Embodied Well-Being -  a blog to share resources for individuals, groups and organizations to be healthy, happy and productive - to find balance in our day to lives.   We are creating several exciting opportunities this Fall to help provide support in journey towards balance and health and I am so happy to have this blog to be able to share them with you.


Starting next week we will begin a 10 week Kum Nye Yoga class - The Art of Balance - Please join us!  Learn more below and at www.kumnyeyoga.com

When we feel alive, the world seems fresh and life is full of promise. There is a sense of vitality and harmony.  The body feels energetic and the mind clear and confident. There is a vibrant quality to everything and the usual border between inner and outer space becomes fluid.

There is intimacy with all of life and a sense of power that gives meaning to all we do. 

The essence of this experience is balance.

Kum Nye is the art of developing this balance, engendering a sense of wellness within and a sense of wholeness in our relationship to others and our environment.

Join us as we gently explore the art of creating balance within ourselves and in our relationship to others through movement, journaling, reading and daily practices.
