The ancient traditions of yoga and Zen together form an effective path to achieving a deep sense of clarity, stability, and relaxation, allowing you to enjoy the natural radiance of your body and mind. Long-time practitioners of yoga and Zen Buddhism, Samantha and Robert will support and guide the group through sessions of active and restorative yoga, sitting meditation, and lively group discussion. The yoga practice, based in the Iyengar style, will prepare our minds and bodies for meditation and will be for all levels. The schedule will include a session addressing physical challenges in the seated meditation posture.

A review of the Zen Mind, Yoga Body retreat:

"My experience of the weekend retreat Zen Mind, Yoga Body was very positive. Samantha and Robert provided the group with an inspiring blend of yoga practice and zen meditation that was warm, non-judgemental and fun. They took great care to address everyone's needs, and encouraged each person to stretch their own comfort zone. At the end of the three days I returned home rejuvenated, muscles stretched and peaceful inside. Overall the retreat was a wonderful experience, and I thank you both for your mindful presence, good humor, commitment and wisdom." -BR
