In this seven-day Buddhist Yoga Pilgrimage of Kathmandu Valley, we will visit several sites related to Vajrayogini and Vajravarahi and a curated tour of temples relevant to Nyingma and Kagyu tradition, including Dudjom and Shechen monastery, to pay honors to the lineages associated with the yoga practices we will engage in.



In this special Inner Yoga (anuyoga) retreat and pilgrimage we will connect with these sacred sites through a variety of yogic practices.



From Dec. 20-22 we have rented a gompa for a tsalung retreat, and eligible practitioners can participate in an intensive retreat focused on Inner yoga, including instructions that are not taught elsewhere.

During this trip, we will learn and practice various outer (lujong) and inner yoga (tsalung trukhor). Daily sessions of meditation and Tibetan Buddhist yoga, along with instructions on training with the elements, meditations on Guru Rinpoche and practices from the Dakini Heart Essence will be introduced.

No prior yoga experience is necessary (participants can learn many of these practices in our accompanying online course – Sept. thru Nov.)

- Boudha (including the Guru Rinpoche park, Dudjom monastery and Shechen)

- Patan (includes Guru Rinpoche monastery, Golden Temple, Mahaboudha/Vajrayogini)

- Purano Guhyeshvari/Swayambhu/Bijeshwori

Brooklyn reopening and Catskills satellite

Dear Community,
After almost two decades in Williamsburg, Brooklyn I decided on a sabbatical while finding our next location for Bae Acupuncture. I had the opportunity to visit about 10 countries in the last four months - including Tibet, China, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Sardinia, Greece, London and several U.S. locations.

I needed some time for self-care and rejuvenation, with loved ones and dear friends. It was one of the most rewarding choices of my life, and I felt touched by life in the deepest way. I am feling renewed and ready to re-engage with a passion.

I have to say, while in China and Tibet I glimpsed the roots of the medicine I practice - particularly in the land, food and climate - as well as the culture. Somehow, all the things I am deeply committed to - such as traditional healing, yoga and meditation - were deeply revolutionized by witnessing them in their cultures of origin.

My approach to all these areas - as well as a commitment to their more public-facing and institutional expressions - is transformed and I will live and practice them differently.

I write to you from California, and next week Vermont. Then I'll be back with a soft reopening in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Just a few days a week, and a few upstate at a Catskills satellite.

Strangely, I used Chinese medicine more on my daily travels than I could have ever imagined - from small emergencies, to distinct insights into how a life guided by traditional medical principles can be a game changer.

This is especially so with regard to preventative and longevity medicine.

I have to say, I missed sorely meeting with all of you and the lovely people and families around mental health, pregnancy and fertility. Email drjamesbae@gmail.com to set up an appointment
