Nalandabodhi Seattle invites you to join us on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to ease into the practice of sitting meditation by gently waking the body and warming up the muscles. Through mindful movement and basic yoga, we will train in the suppleness required to sit comfortably so that our meditation can accomplish the goal of completely taming our minds. - https://mailchi.mp/nalandawest/nalanda-news-march-29-2025
