Zen Yoga Shugyo Course – 1yr Immersion
Event Navigation

Join senior Zenways teacher Mark for a year-long, immersive journey into the practice of Zen Yoga
Designed for those who:
- want to deepen their yoga practice by studying Zen Yoga movement and theory with an experienced teacher
- connect and work with like-minded others
- have at least 1 year of yoga experience (in any tradition)
One full-day workshop per season: Winter, Spring, Summer, Late Summer & Autumn/Fall.
Shorter workshops every month to cover the whole year.
All sessions will be online via zoom.
In this course you will gain a foundation in zen yoga practice and theory.
This is not a teacher training (but if you are a teacher there’ll be plenty in the course that’ll hopefully inspire your classes).
修業 (shūgyō): to acquire knowledge in an academic or technical discipline
修行 (shugyō): to refine your character while acquiring knowledge in something like a practice or discipline
Overview of the course
Start or develop your regular yoga practice with adaptable sequences that connect to the seasons and energy meridian channels (of traditional Chinese medicine).
Learn how to weave yoga and all of its health, wellbeing and wisdom aspects into your everyday life.
If you’re a teacher, learn to modify, adjust and build on these sequences in your ongoing classes
Study the traditional Chinese/Japanese energy systems of the meridian channels and organs in depth, with perspectives from the traditional/esoteric and modern/scientific.
Learn basic Zen meditation practices.
Become part of a friendly, supportive sangha/community all sharing the journey together, with regular workshops and check-ins through the year.
Learn under the guidance of senior Zenways yoga teacher Mark and other experienced Zenways yoga teachers.
