SUMMARY:Energy and Concentration in Zen and Yoga\, Online 4/4–6/20
DESCRIPTION:The Zoom link to participate in this event will be provided at least 24 hours before it begins. Please call 415-354-0360 if you have any questions. \n\nTwelve Sundays\, April 4–June 20\, 9:30–11:00 am PT \nThis 12-week online course will focus on the fourth and fifth paramitas (transcendent practices) of virya (energy) and dhyana (meditative concentration). \nBeginning with a brief study of the first three paramitas—dana (generosity)\, sila (uprightness)\, and kshanti (acceptance)—the class will then take up the practice of virya in vinyasa\, an asana practice that simultaneously coordinates breath and movement.* \nTo study dhyana\, we will begin with the practice of mindfulness of breath in the seated posture taught by Shakyamuni Buddha in the Anapanasati Sutta. Readings will be provided for those who are interested in studying various commentaries on the paramitas. \nThis class will require the ability to practice active yoga and some experience with yoga and meditation practice. The 12-week online format allows for an extended group yoga practice\, with time for individualized instruction in the postures. \nThe following basic props will be helpful: \n\n1 yoga mat\n2 blankets\n2 yoga blocks\n1 bolster (thick cushion)\nMeditation support (cushion\, seiza bench\, or chair)\n\nRecordings of each class will be available to support home practice\, and Shokuchi will be available for individual online meetings. \n*Developed by the great South Indian Master Krishnamacharya (teacher of well-known Yoga Masters BKS Iyengar\, Pattabi Jois\, and Desikachar)\, vinyasa is a practice central to the transformative process of yoga. See Yoga Journal\, 11/2012. \nRecordings:\nAll course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
