The Elemental Body Yin Yoga Teacher Training
May 18th-23rd, Azumino Nagano SOLD OUT
The Elemental Body is a Yin Yoga Teacher Training and Retreat, held beneath the embrace of the Japanese Alps during late spring, the peak of rose season and bright, lush green in Japan. Over five days together, we will journey through the five elements of taoism, practicing yin yoga, meditation and pranayama, eating local, seasonal macrobiotic meals, bathing in mineral rich natural onsen baths in the evenings and rising to the sound of the river.
The Elemental Body Online Immersion

Online
A three month online immersion into yin yoga as a medicinal healing modality and a creative practice. The more we embody the essence of yin through practice, the more we find ourselves naturally attuning to the seasons, noticing and balancing the small shifts and details within, and all around us.
A Solstice Japanese Dream
June 18th - 23rd, 2026
Kurokawa Onsen, Kumamoto
In a secluded forest along a mountain stream exists a hidden sanctuary in the form of a traditional japanese inn - it’s an image straight out of a dream.
Early Summer in Kurokawa onsen is a special and potent time. it is season of celebration, abundance and creativity. The fertility of the natural world pours in through every window, covering the outdoor onsen baths in a gently waving ceiling of bright green leaves.
