Gather in community and learn about the Japanese way of Ikigai - living with passion and purpose. Refine your yoga practice with a workshop and ritual led by two yoga educators who’ve dedicated their life to the art of intention and heart-based integrity. Asami and Kimiko are excited to share their Japanese heritage and guide you through a flowing practice that combines their favorite styles of yoga: Hatha Vinyasa, Kundalini and Yin Yoga. Together they’ll craft a ritual that embodies technique, reflections, and herbal infusions to help you feel a sense of belonging to oneself, nature, and the community around you.
"Ikigai gives individuals a sense of a life worth living. It is not necessarily related to economic status. Ikigai is personal; it reflects the inner self of an individual and expresses that faithfully. It establishes a unique mental world in which the individual can feel at ease."
- Noriyuki Nakanishi of Osaka University
