Zen Mindfulness is the practice of quiet, open awareness: releasing the noise of the day, and returning to the clarity of the present moment. Together, they form a complete practice that restores both body and mind. Its preliminary yoga draws from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, tracing the body's energy pathways—called meridians—through gentle, intentional movement. 

What to Expect: Each week's program is freshly crafted by Zen master Rebecca D. Nie to meet you where you are. You'll move through restorative postures designed to open the body's energy channels, then settle into guided Zen meditation to quiet the mind. The session is gentle, grounding, and unhurried—a true midday pause designed to leave you refreshed and clear-headed for the afternoon ahead.

Who Is It For? This practice is for anyone navigating the pace of urban life. Whether you're new to yoga and meditation or returning to a practice you love, no prior experience…
