By interspersing meditation sessions with body movement practices, you can connect with your body-mind deeply and gently. Inspired by Zazen, the Zen-Buddhist meditation, and the Japanese body technique seita-ho, it is an invitation to slow down and be able to listen to nature outside and inside us. Through subtle touches and simple and spontaneous movements, we slowly wake up the awareness of our body, bringing our mind to the present moment.
