Movement, Meditation and Deep Relaxation  

Why did the Buddha emphasize mindfulness of the body as the primary foundation of practice?

The body lives only in the here and now. As we train our attention to rest in the senses we learn how to be present to whatever arises.

Come and explore relaxation as a doorway to presence.
