Rooted in Awareness: Iyengar Yoga and Zen to Embody Your Life

This retreat pairs two distinct practices—Iyengar Yoga and Zen meditation—in a single schedule, asking how asana, pranayama, and zazen might inform each other. Rather than treating them as separate disciplines, the retreat investigates their common ground: steadiness, clarity, and how the body and mind work together.

San Francisco Zen Center runs the retreat at Tassajara, their residential practice monastery. The center has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher assignments, lodging details, or what prior experience in either yoga or Zen is expected. Contact SFZC directly for specifics on meal format, sitting periods, instruction style, and whether this retreat is open to newcomers or designed for experienced practitioners of both practices.
