Zazen

Self-Shiatsu

Yoga Iyengar

Kesa sewing

Zazen

The purpose of this site is to give you the possibility to practice Zazen regularly, with the Kosen sangha, at a distance  via Zoom.

Self-Shiatsu

(Schedule: see table of Latin American Kosen sangha)

ShiatZoom : the power of your hands within you. In these times of “distancing”, I offer you a space to get closer to your body, a time to reduce your stress level. Awakening body awareness, paying attention to accumulated tensions and finding ways to release them, increasing the well-being through contact with oneself.

Yoga Iyengar

(Not in use at the moment)

Yoga is a practice with the body that will allow you to rediscover health and well-being through simple, accessible, and millenary postures, thanks to the use of supports. IYENGAR yoga transmits dynamism in the practice, and the necessary precision to find physical and mental balance. It is a personalized teaching that allows you to progress according to your possibilities.

Kesa sewing

We carry on with the samu in line sewing the kesa and the rakusu. This activity set up last year has been a great success, not only with beginners who started to sew a rakusu, but also with the nuns and monks who were able to complete their 7 and 9 bands kesa. So welcome if you wish to join us for this marvellous Gyoji: the samu of zen sewing.

Announcements

The online dojo, Latin American times, continues during the summer with four zazens:Tuesday 7.00am, Wednesday 7.00am, Saturday 11.00am and Sunday 11.00am.
