Soto Zen
Five-day residential retreat at Tassajara combining daily zazen with yoga practice rooted in self-exploration. Students work with attention to subtle bodily sensations through guided practice and reflection.
About this retreat
This retreat brings together two contemplative practices — zazen (seated Zen meditation) and yoga — framed around listening to the body's own intelligence. Rather than treating yoga as flexibility training, the retreat uses it as a method of self-exploration: paying attention to subtle sensations, working with emotions and aspirations through the body, and letting that awareness inform your sitting practice.
The retreat takes place at Tassajara, San Francisco Zen Center's residential monastery in the Los Padres National Forest. The center has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher name, or details about meals and lodging, so contact SFZC directly for those specifics.
