Kyoto Yoga Retreat
April 10-12, 2026
3-day retreat
With Namita, Miri, Miya, Sayo and Juliana
Join us in the cultural heart of Kyoto this April, during the breathtaking peak of sakura (cherry blossom) season. Our weekend retreat is designed to nurture body and mind through yoga, meditation, guided workshops, and quiet reflection, all set against the pastel colors of Kyoto’s spring season. Surrounded by temples, gardens, and the beauty of nature, this retreat offers adults the chance to slow down, restore, and reconnect with themselves.
PRACTICE yoga asanas and meditation not only in our new Kyoto studio, but also in the beautiful neighborhood of Gojo. Feel the balance of modern and ancient Kyoto as you move and breathe, grounding yourself in spaces where mindfulness has been cultivated for centuries.
EAT nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meals each day, crafted to support both wellness and enjoyment. From Japanese-inspired dishes to international flavors, every meal is designed to replenish your body and bring comfort, allowing you to savor the retreat experience fully.
MEDITATE through immersive sound baths and mindful walks in temple gardens, surrounded by the beauty of spring. As the soft cherry blossoms sprinkle around you, meditation becomes not just a practice, but a way of experiencing the season with your whole being.
EXPLORE Kyoto’s timeless charm—its cuisine, temples, gardens, and flowing streams—during the brilliant peak of spring sakura. Let the city itself become your teacher, offering moments of awe, reflection, and inspiration as you journey through its historic and natural beauty.
