"yoga perishes by these six: overeating, overexertion, talking too much, performing needless austerities, socializing, and restlessness - hatha yoga pradipika 1.15"
Nowadays rather than a deep immersion into solitude for self-discovery and personal growth, yoga and meditation retreats have increasingly become synonymous with socializing and entertainment in overcrowded groups.
With our yoga and meditation retreats in Japan, we redefine the retreat experience by returning to yoga’s true essence, by putting the teachings and students first, providing a learning and practical experience that goes beyond superficial pleasures to foster inner peace and stillness of the mind.
With Shakaizen, we aim to offer a sanctuary, focusing on authentic yoga and meditation practices that honor the ancient teachings. You won’t eat, pray, love but instead fast, think and practice.
