Yoga: MORNING & SUNSET

Friday (in yoga studio):

We will kick off our retreat with an 65-75 Min. evening, Arrival Flow, clear our minds, set our intentions, connect our focus to the present. The practice will release all of the worries, stresses and life holdings of our busy but, beautiful Tokyo lives, so you can connect to YOU and completely enjoy this fabulous weekend away.

Saturday we will have two practices  (in studio and on Beach):

In the morning (in yoga studio) we will have a glorious 2-Hour practice, Very Vigorous Flow, heat building and enlivening, ending with a seated meditation. I plan to poll the group prior to arrival and breakdown the postures or vinyasa transitions you request. This will be very playful and set the blissed -out tone for the day! Saturday evening, (on Beach) after our spa day, we will have a 60-Min. Happy Hour Sunset restorative stretch, tapping into full release, relax and renewal.

​

Sunday (on Beach):

We will have a powerful 2-Hour morning Farwell Vinyasa. If the group is up for more workshop style, we can jump back into that or a deeply meditative seamless non-stop beach vinyasa (I only teach that style in this type of small and connected group setting). 

​

WeBase provides all props, mats and yoga goodies! Feel free to bring your own mat ( I will), but leave any other props at home!

​

*weather conditions will dicated final yoga space, if too windy or cold all yoga will be in the beautiful private studio
