Although posture is important in the practice of Zen, there are many which are effective. Some members sit in full or half lotus, some use meditation benches, and some sit in chairs. The most important thing is to sit with a straight back and in a balanced manner, comfortable enough to sustain for a sitting period. Specifics on meditation practice will be offered in our introduction to zen class. Please call us or email the Director to schedule the class.
