With Tsubaki and Marina

Join our team for a yoga retreat: Refreshing escape to one of Japan’s most breathtaking destinations — Amami Island. This retreat is designed to help you reset and reconnect through meditation, gentle detox, and nature-based cleansing practices.

PRACTICE
Enjoy multiple asana sessions each day — from restorative yoga to dynamic flows. On sunny days, we’ll take our practice to the beach, letting nature guide the rhythm of your body.

EAT

Savor delicious, locally sourced island meals made with care and intention. Nourishing both body and soul, every bite is infused with love and island flavor.

MEDITATE

Experience meditation through unconventional paths — beach walks, snorkeling, and other mindful moments in motion. Our goal is to help you integrate mindfulness naturally into your daily life.

EXPLORE
Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Amami Island, with a range of enriching activities including indoor/outdoor yoga, beach cleanups, snorkeling, massage, and even traditional rice drink making.

Note: Outdoor activities in a yoga retreat may be adjusted depending on weather conditions.
