TRAINING &
TRAVEL RETREAT
MAY 2027
JAPAN | MAY 2027
10 days of embodied learning, travel, culture, connection, and self-discovery.
This retreat is an invitation to immerse yourself in the beauty, stillness and rich culture of Japan - a journey that blends Yin Yoga Teacher Training, meaningful travel and unforgettable cultural experiences.
Each day begins and ends with yoga, meditation, and/or guided journalling as we connect, reflect, regulate the nervous system, and integrate everything you’re experiencing on and off the mat.
Daily yoga, movement & mindfulness
From wandering through ancient temples and hidden alleyways to experiencing the energy of Tokyo and the beauty of Japan’s changing landscapes, this journey is designed to awaken curiosity, connection and a sense of adventure.
Adventure & Exploration
Experience the richness of Japanese culture through traditional rituals, local experiences, sacred spaces and meaningful moments that allow you to connect deeply with the heart and spirit of Japan.
Immersive Cultural Experiences
Enjoy incredible Japanese cuisine - from hands-on cooking classes, nourishing local meals and fresh sushi to hidden restaurants and unforgettable culinary experiences unique to each destination.
Delicious Food
Together we will move between the ancient traditions of Kyoto, the vibrant energy of Osaka and the electric rhythm of Tokyo, exploring both the outer world and the inner self along the way.
This experience is about slowing down, deepening your practice, expanding your knowledge and allowing yourself to be transformed through connection, culture, movement and presence.
Set amongst the ancient temples, vibrant cities and rich cultural landscapes of Japan, our Japan Yin Teacher Training & Travel Retreat blends immersive Yin Yoga studies with unforgettable travel and cultural experiences across Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo.
Each day of our retreat involves mindful movement, cultural exploration and meaningful connection.
This journey offers the opportunity to deepen your practice while experiencing the beauty, tradition and energy of Japan in a transformative way.
This is more than a teacher training or travel experience - it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, expand your perspective and return home feeling inspired, grounded and deeply enriched.

A deeply immersive experience of travel, culture and personal growth
Our Japan Yin Teacher Training & Travel Retreat begins in the beautiful cultural heart of Japan - Kyoto.
You are warmly invited to join us the evening before the retreat officially begins for a special welcome dinner in Kyoto. This is an opportunity to settle into the experience, connect with the group, share beautiful food and begin immersing yourself in the magic of Japan together.
We will spend 4 nights in Kyoto, where we will complete our 30-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training amongst ancient temples, peaceful gardens and the quiet beauty of traditional Japan. Alongside our training, we’ll explore the city’s hidden laneways, discover incredible local restaurants tucked down alleyways, experience Japanese culture and allow ourselves to fully slow down and absorb the atmosphere of Kyoto.
From there, we will travel to Osaka for 3 nights - experiencing the vibrant energy, nightlife, food culture and modern rhythm of the city.
We will then complete our journey with 2 nights in Tokyo, exploring the electric contrast of tradition and innovation that makes this city so unforgettable.
This retreat has been designed to blend meaningful learning, cultural immersion, adventure, connection and personal growth in a way that allows you to experience Japan beyond the surface.
To make your travel experience seamless, we also work closely with a wonderful travel agent who can assist you with choosing and booking your flights and answering any travel-related questions you may have.
Here, adventure and reflection exist side by side, allowing connection, rest, and self-discovery to unfold.
