Zen is a practice of awakening to our life, to who we really are, with all of its joys and hardship. The heart of our practice is zazen, or seated meditation, through which we learn how to live mindfully, in each moment.  This class will cover posture, breathing, concentration, and shikantaza or “just sitting.”  In this five week class, we will explore how to get started, and what to do about obstacles to practice.  

The class is on Tuesday evening from February 25 - March 25, 2025, from 7:00 pm - 8:15pm. Register at Santosha Yoga.

Please join us from 5:00-6:30 pm on Monday evenings in April at Shakti Yoga for silent Zen meditation (zazen). There are two meditation periods, each 25 minutes long, with a short break in between, followed by a brief Dharma teaching or discussion. If you are new to Zen meditation, please arrive 15 minutes early for beginning instruction. Experienced practitioners are also welcome. If you have been on a Zen retreat, practiced at another Zen center, or done meditation in another tradition, you are very welcome to join us.
