YOGA smile 2009
Just the name of this yearly event gives me calm soothing. I missed the one last year, but somehow my deeply internal spiritual goddess hasn't forgotten she wants to go. Held at Ryosokuin in the Kyoto temple complex of Kenninji Temple in the Gion area, and heralded as the biggest YOGA event in Kansai, there are so many reasons to make a pilgrimage to Kyoto for the weekend of October 17 and 18. Doing sun salutations in an old Japanese temple in Kyoto is certainly something to feel doki doki (beating heart loud and powerful) and waku waku (internal glee bubbling) about. The flyer snapshots alone of the yoga teachers attending, give me feel-good tingles with their eyes of wisdom and chakra points aglow in complete alignment.
Classes vary in price, length, type and level so there will surely be something that feeds your physical and emotional needs. A combination of both international and Japanese teachers gives you variety in choice of language, and the four different locations for classes also adds to the excitement of the event.
With original class names like Gentle Slow Flow, Tibet Heart Yoga, Love Yoga, Vinyasa Wave Flow and Body Make Yoga, to the more traditional Hatha, Ashtanga and Sivananda Yoga classes.
There are also Ayurveda, Pranayama (breathing techniques), Chakra and Deep Theuruputic Restructuring workshops to name only a few of the class options available.
Explore the YOGA smile 2009 website (in Japanese) for more specific information.

It is about a 7 minute walk from Gion Shijo station on the Keihan line.

I hope you all find some new blends of healing, harmony and happiness.
