Nalandabodhi Seattle invites you to join us to ease into the practice of sitting meditation by gently waking the body and warming up the muscles. Through mindful movement and basic yoga, we will train in the suppleness required to sit comfortably so that our meditation can accomplish the goal of completely taming our minds.
Sit & Stretch will happen Tuesday and Thursday mornings the first week of every month. If there are more than 2 people registered at the beginning of each month, the session will continue for Tuesdays and Thursdays for the rest of the month according to registered participant interest.

Wednesdays, 6:00 to 7:00 pm
