Students practice Sheng Zhen outdoors in Santa Barbara, CA

Welcome to Sheng Zhen of the Americas

Strengthen your body,

Open your heart,

Elevate your spirit,

with Sheng Zhen.

The basis of Sheng Zhen practice is recognizing and experiencing our deep connection with nature and all of humanity. Through the practices, you naturally quiet and open your heart, calm the mind, and experience inner stillness, even in the midst of moving. This becomes a habit, and later, a natural state that is carried into daily life.

Sheng Zhen is a system of moving and non-moving meditation practices. They are simple, relaxing, graceful, and fun to do in groups or on your own.

The Sheng Zhen Society of the Americas is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to providing practices that promote harmony, health, and inner peace.
