Tibetan Yoga Workshop
Through physical exercises and breath practices, Buddhist yoga fosters the experience and embodiment of wisdom and compassion, built on a foundation that starts with sound (mantra), visualization, and meditation.
Physical practices are done in the context of the traditional five elements (earth, wind, fire, water, and space) and various body systems, and prepare the practitioner for more advanced application of subtle energy. The practices are accessible, regardless of one's physical type or disposition.
This retreat will clarify how the subtle breath practices can be skillfully engaged in relation to meditation and Buddhist practice as a whole.
Dr. Bae will draw from the compositions of his main teachers and discuss in detail many of the unique systems of Buddhist yoga. Participants will learn a comprehensive practice and also enrich their understanding of how Tibetan Yoga can enhance formal meditation and promote health and well-being.

Come To Your Senses
Although the name suggests this retreat is all about sensory experience, in reality, it is so much more than that. It’s a few days away from your daily life, immersed in a beautiful natural setting, where you can slow down and become aware of your existing patterns, try out a "buffet" of new possible habits, and then create a personal toolkit to take home and bring into your everyday life. It's also a great way to focus on your awareness and find out what it means to be truly present in the moment, without having to follow the rigors of a formal practice or wonder whether you're "doing it right."
​
We create a safe and encouraging space in which to make discoveries about your mind through fun, purposeful experiments, balanced with periods of intentional silence – giving you a clear, steady, and inquisitive view on life that lasts long beyond the end of the retreat. You will gain tools that are always available (and easy to remember) to help you shake loose from unhelpful patterns, gain empathy for yourself and others, and make choices that feel good in your gut.
​
By engaging with the physical senses with a willing and open mind, you can come home to an empowering truth: that what might at first seem like another new habit to establish is actually an innate ability that just needed to be recognized. You will make the best kind of discoveries: the ones that cannot be taught.
