    Every Friday evening from 6.30-7.30pm starting 17th January 2025 at our London centre we will be guided on a “Touch Down” journey to land back in our bodies after a busy week. During this one-hour session, we will experience how Kum Nye can be both a very effective gateway to meditation, and a means to deepen our current practice.  Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s simple movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind.

    Martial Arts Enhancement

    Develops internal power (neijin) for martial artists, improving strength, stamina, and resilience by harnessing Qi.

    Mental Clarity and Focus

    Enhances concentration, discipline, and mental discipline through meditative practices and intentional movement.
