Deep Rest in Zen and Yoga: Learning to Let Go

This retreat pairs Zen sitting practice with restorative yoga and breath work, all held at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. The focus on "letting go" shapes how the two practices meet — yoga postures and pranayama (breathing techniques) are offered as complementary ways to release tension and cultivate calm alongside zazen.

The retreat is residential, meaning five nights on the mountain. The center has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher names, or specifics about how the Zen and yoga sessions are structured or sequenced. Contact SFZC directly for details on sitting periods, meals, lodging arrangements, and what prior experience with either practice is expected or recommended.

Tassajara also offers time away from formal practice: walks on the grounds, swimming, and access to the hot springs are part of the retreat rhythm.
