About the Tour

The 10-day-Tour in Japan offers you the opportunity to deepen your Yoga practice, Meditation, Reiki and learn about Japanese culture with lots of fun and cherry blossoms! The whole tour will be led by the My Health Yoga teachers- Yumi, who is originally from Japan and Leon, who is in love with Japan and its culture. The tour will take you to a number of exciting and historical cities in Japan including Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagasaki. Being away from home, your family, and comfort zone to a somewhere completely new and of different culture, you may be surprized how much you learn about yourself through exploring yourself!!!

You wil be part of the group energy in classes, however, will not need to attend the teacher training workshops.

If you would like to attend certain workshops this is available. Please ring or email to arrange a tailor-made plan and price.
