Guidelines for a Comfortable Experience

• Join from a quiet and comfortable space.

• You may meditate seated on the floor or in a chair.

• If sitting on the floor, cross-legged (agura) is common. Placing a cushion or yoga block under your hips can help with stability.

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that keeps you at a comfortable temperature.

• If it’s chilly, have a blanket nearby for warmth.

Refunds cannot be provided for missed classes. Thank you for your understanding.

We look forward to meditating with you!
