Introductory classes
A comprehensive Introduction to Zen Practice is offered in consecutive 4-week sessions, meeting once a week on Sunday mornings, from 9:30am–10:30am. For details about the starting dates, contact the Yoga Barn at (425) 427-0038 or Info@YogaBarn.com or go to the Yoga Barn website at www.YogaBarn.com . In the introductory classes:

• an overview of the history and various traditions of Zen practice as they have developed in Asia and the West.
• the mechanics of meditation, including detailed guidance in breathing, positions and posture.
• how to deal with and maintain your practice through whatever arises in your mind.
• personal and individualized instruction suited to who you are.
  

Weekly Zen Practice

For those who have already had basic instruction in meditation technique and those who have completed the introductory class in Zen, we offer weekly group meditation. An essential element to Zen training is regular practice. We grow, mainly, by making a sincere and continuous effort to clear our minds and perceive the true nature of our world in which we live, moment by moment. Regular group practice helps to strengthen our efforts and the shared effort of the sangha (community of practitioners) is inspiring to everyone. Weekly practice includes sitting meditation, walking meditation and chanting. Practice sessions meet:

· Sunday mornings, 10:45am – 12noon.

· Thursday mornings, 9am – 10am.

The most important, and sometimes the most difficult thing to do is just to begin. The second most important thing is to keep trying. Tiger Mountain Zen is designed solely to help you in your efforts.

You don’t have to have any particular kind of body build to practice Zen. There are many sitting styles that can be used aside from assuming the lotus position! Standing, sitting in a chair, walking, even lying down Zen will work.

Zen is an ancient tradition of Buddhist practice that was developed in China thousands of years ago and continues to this day in an unbroken lineage of keen-eyed masters. You are welcome to join us.
