Imagine opening your eyes to greet your day in the beloved cultural mecca and ancient capital of Kyoto, Japan. This beautiful city has been the home of Buddhism for more than 1200 years.
We’ll begin our days with gentle yoga stretching, fluid Qigong and guided meditation in a tranquil Zen temple uniting our group energy to prepare us for a day full of exploration. Japanese temples have been a community gathering place that supports the spiritual and cultural life of the Japanese. They are home to an aesthetic and spirit that reflects lived experiences of the ancestors and their religious beliefs. These temples, precious repositories of nearly 1200 years of history, still stand open today to welcome any and all.
After our 4 day immersion in Miyoshin-ji “The Temple of Enlightened Mind” we will journey
Our retreat is custom designed to inspire and nurture you through beauty, gardens, temples, freshly prepared delicious meals, and authentic experiences that touch deeply into our inner landscapes.
This immersion retreat to Japan is a pilgrimage to the center of our hearts with the purpose of revitalizing our lives and invigorating our souls. Bring an open and curious heart and allow Japan to flow in and expand your horizons!

The more we awaken to our bodies, the more we can care for them well~ and the better they will take care of us. In this workshop, we will learn, through Qigong, to move into our yoga postures with ease. As we take time to experience our poses and posture we will become more aware, feeling into our joints and movements. We will learn to relax even as we work in a practice. We will study the nuts and bolts of good alignment and expand our consciousness in the body through embodied inquiry. Come find the joy in getting to know yourself better through all eight limbs of yoga.
