Introduction to sKu-mNyé of Aro gTér

1.We start in the kitchen to describe the priciple and function of sKu-mNyé from the Aro Tradition for any new participants.

2.We quickly repeat the 7 exercises from part one:

Reclining Lion, Seated Lion, Preening Vulture, Stalking Tiger, Eagle Soaring over the mountain and Hovering Garuda.

3.We go through new excercises.

sKu-mNyé (Kum Nye) is a system of 111 physical exercises. These ‘massage’ the ‘spatial nerves’ of the energetic body – giving rise to extraordinary sensations. In these nyams it is possible to find the presence of non-dual awareness—rigpa—momentary enlightenment.

The exercises are entirely unlike any other system of movement or exercise. They do not resemble yoga, dance, T’ai Ch’i, or martial arts. They range from gentle to exceedingly difficult. Some can be performed by almost everyone. Others are used by boxers and other athletes in an exercise regimen requiring extreme strength, flexibility, coordination, and aerobic exertion.

The Aro sKu-mNyé is a térma of Aro Lingma and belongs to Dzogchen long-dé. The exercises are divided into six series: the movements of the lion, the vulture, the tiger, the eagle, the garuda, and the dragon. Each exercise is practiced three times interspersed with meditation in a supine meditation posture.

Cost: 500kr/participants, this is just to split the rent, in other words the cost is just the rent of the excelent location.

Location: Mindful Yoga is at Chapmans Torg, with entrance from Karl Johansgatan 84. Tram 3 or 9. The place is on the second floor.
