Moving Presence Center

Moving Presence Centre on Salt Spring Island is dedicated to deepening presence through Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga and embodied mindfulness practices. Offering classes, workshops, and retreats both online and in person, the centre provides support for individuals looking to develop or deepen their movement and meditation practices.

Don McGinnis, the founder of Moving Presence Centre, began offering body-centered practices after experiencing the profound impact they had on his own life. Through practices such as Kum Nye, he found a way to transmute dark emotions and cultivate joyfulness, confidence, calm, and lightness of being. Don advocates for a kinder, more loving world and shares his skills and knowledge with others to help them on their own transformative journey.

Students of Moving Presence Centre have shared glowing testimonials about their experiences with Don and the practices he teaches. From creating a sense of peace and calm to offering a safe and supportive environment for self-discovery and healing, Don is praised for his empathy, knowledge, and dedication to his students' well-being.

Kum Nye, the transformative yoga practice taught at Moving Presence Centre, offers a meditative approach to yoga. Through movement, massage, toning, breathwork, and awareness, students can release energy blocks, harmonize their energy, and cultivate a deep inner calm. Classes explore the four main energy centres with the intention of opening up the energy flow within the body.

Whether you are looking to support an existing meditation practice, deepen your embodied mindfulness practice, or cultivate a sense of peace and calm, Moving Presence Centre on Salt Spring Island offers a variety of classes and resources to support you on your journey towards greater presence and well-being.
