Yoga Retreat

Music & Meditation Space: Find relaxation and healing in this monthly event open to everyone. After a simple guided meditation, participants are invited to find a relaxing posture and soak in the music. Much of the music will be inspired on the spot and played impromptu on an acoustic piano or sung. Some of the songs are from the mindfulness Buddhist community Plum Village. Usually hosted at a studio right by Negishi station from 5:00-5:45pm on a Saturday, this event is by donation.

Overnight Yoga Retreat: Step away from your daily life to be rejuvenated. These retreats are hosted at Goen No Mori, a wonderful onsen ryokan (Japanese style hotel with a hot spring) that serves nourishing vegan food. Multiple yoga and meditation sessions allow you to deepen your practice, as well as find like-minded people. English retreats are offered twice a year, usually in spring and fall.
