[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Follow up/resources for 'Upright Sitting & Beginner's Mind'

Dear Friends, 

Thanks to all of you who joined me last night for the Sunday meditation class on Upright Sitting & Beginner's Mind. It was a pleasure to be in practice with you!

Below, I'm sharing some resources related to the class, along with some upcoming offerings of mine if you'd like to connect again.

I'm also wondering whether there would be enough interest to fill a class series to go into greater depth about upright sitting posture sometime this summer?

This class would include somatic movement explorations, guided meditation and group discussion. I'm thinking of a 4-class series to begin which could possibly be extended if there is motivation to do so. If you would be interested in such a class, please take 2 minutes to respond to this questionnaire. 

Resources: 

Below you'll find some videos with guidance for finding comfortable sitting posture. I'm also happy to receive any questions you have about posture. For an overview of what I do, please check out: my website, YouTube channel, Substack
