Zen Meditation & Building a Sustainable Pranayama Practice
Advertisement
An evening dedicated to grounding, breath, and restorative awareness.
Hart will begin with seated Zen meditation instruction, offering practical guidance for posture, breath, attention, and cultivating a steady meditative presence. Drawing from decades of study in Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, this session creates an accessible foundation for both new and experienced practitioners.
The practice will continue with restorative postures integrated with pranayama techniques designed to calm the nervous system, deepen sensitivity to breath, and support a sustainable home practice. Through careful sequencing and supported poses, participants will explore how breathwork and stillness can become powerful tools for clarity, balance, and renewal.
