Yes! Seated meditation requires stillness, but our bodies need regular movement throughout the day as well. We start our day with a simple 90 minute guided asana practice. During lunchtime, you can swim laps or do you own workout. You’ll have regular opportunities to move around and stretch between lectures. There is a second asana session in the late afternoon before our final evening meditation.
