Free your mind, body and spirit by connecting with the natural forces. Let your mind and body rest in the bosom of nature,
feel the universe within and sharpen your five senses. These are the principles that this program considers important as the ultimate Zen state. We would like to recommend this tour especially to those who live a city life and for those who would like to take a break to listen to your body while travelling.
Our meeting place will be Shiga station, a 40 minute train ride from Kyoto station by JR Kosei-line. Relax and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Biwa during your train ride over.
Our Zen Pilates session will be held at Jyuge Shrine, which is located in a small forest overlooking Lake Biwa. It is said that a female goddess is enshrined here. The locals have looked after the shrine since long ago. This unique Zen Pilates session will leave you feeling totally relaxed and refreshed. It will also try to guide you to look within yourself for a deeper experience. You are sure to feel the beneficial mental and physical results after the session.
The Pilates method is a safe, gentle and highly effective way to strengthen, stretch and shape up your body. Relax and work with your body and mind at the place full of natural and animistic force, with deep and slow breathing. The breathing method is a very important component of the Pilates method. A proper breathing method will significantly lessen stress. The most effective way to guarantee one’s future health is to appreciate good health now while taking care of oneself. This Pilates aims to help people ‘Return to who you are by freeing your mind and spirit while working with your body.'
Note: The location may be held indoors due to inclement weather. In this case, you will still have a short outdoor session to receive the natural energy.
