Tibetan Buddhist and Taoist Master Chufei Tsai presides over Zen Village, a multifaith spiritual center. Eastern philosophy is the root for ancient practices—such as yoga and mindful meditation—which can foster physical and spiritual well-being in the modern world. This two-pronged approach to wellness reflects Tsai’s background: A trained nurse, she also has traveled the world studying centuries-old philosophies and has taught more than six thousand students.

Zen Village’s courses cover yoga styles ranging from Vinyasa, a flowing style that synchronizes breathing with poses, to Tibetan healing yoga, which aims to balance the seven chakras. The eclectic catalog also includes introductions to the tenets of Buddhism, the basics of Zen living, and the art of brewing tea from Asia. The courses allow students to intake prosperity and evolve with a healthy lifestyle.
