Japan:

Soak. See. Shift.

Tokyo + Hakone, Japan

Peak Cherry Blossom Season 🌸

This is not just a trip. It’s a complete reset.

Your Nervous System Called. It Wants Japan.

Tired of running on fumes? Waking up already exhausted? Saying "I just need to get through this week" every week?

This Japan retreat is for you if you’ve been putting everyone else first—and you're ready to press pause, breathe deep, and remember who you are.

We’ll begin in Tokyo for a weekend of curated adventures—think cherry blossoms in full bloom, a taste of the fast-paced thrill (with just the right amount of grounding). Then we’ll retreat to the serene foothills of Mount Fuji, where you’ll stay in a traditional ryokan inn with in-room hot springs (yes, really) in Hakone.

This isn’t about escaping life. It’s about finally feeling like you’re living it.

An All-Inclusive Escape

This isn’t just a yoga retreat—it’s a full-body, soul-deep reset designed for anyone ready to hit pause on the grind, reconnect with what matters, and say yes to an unforgettable adventure. And the best part? We’ve taken care of everything.

Escape the grind and reconnect with yourself through mindful movement, breathtaking nature, cultural immersion, and community. Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

Sustainable energy – Gentle morning yoga, soul-soothing hot springs, and forested hikes help regulate your nervous system and leave you feeling grounded and recharged.

Mental clarity – Step away from the noise and into a new rhythm. Through daily practices, quiet mornings, and awe-inspiring landscapes, you’ll rediscover spaciousness in your mind and body.

True connection – Whether it’s a conversation under the cherry blossoms or a shared moment in the onsen, you’ll meet kindred spirits who are also done with burnout and craving something deeper.

Stories worth telling – From peaceful tea ceremonies to exploring Tokyo’s electric buzz, every experience is designed to awaken curiosity and spark wonder.

Fuel for the Soul

This retreat isn’t just about movement—it’s about nourishment, too. While group meals are included during excursions and at the retreat center, you'll also have the freedom to explore Tokyo’s world-famous food scene during your free time. Think steaming bowls of ramen, fresh sushi, and cozy neighborhood cafés that make dining an experience in itself.

FAQ

What if I'm not very good at yoga or a complete beginner?

Fear not! There is a wide spectrum of experience on my retreats, with many of the attendees at the beginning of their yoga journey. I offer poses that can be adopted to your comfort level. I provide a space where you are welcome to take whatever works for you and leave the rest.

Am I required to attend all the retreat events?

You are welcome to sit out any retreat events, no explanation needed. This retreat is for YOU - to stretch, rest, and unwind in the way that feels right in the moment.

What if I'm not very flexible?

It's a common misconception that yoga requires flexibility, but flexibility is absolutely not a prerequisite. These retreats will not be focused on achieving fancy postures or involve headstand contests. While we will dive into daily yoga classes, my main goal is for you to explore the beautiful locations and cultures that we are immersed in, create meaningful connections with the other participants, and to develop a stronger, more loving relationship with your body, mind and spirit. I will be there to support and assist you at whatever stage you are at. So forget the wild poses you see in the media - wherever you are at is perfect!

What will the yoga classes be like?

There will be 1-2 yoga classes a day. Both more active and restorative classes will be offered. I offer vinyasa (power and slow flow styles), yin and restorative yoga classes. The classes will be tailored to each group's unique interests, injuries and energy level.

What will we do besides yoga?

My intention is to explore some of the most beautiful corners of the world together with you. I have found breathtaking locations, with small intimate lodging for our groups. You will have ample opportunity to explore the local sights and cultures (and I will do the research to provide attractive options), or you can choose to stay on site in one of these gorgeous homes and deeply rest.

I will offer a variety of activities for self-exploration and healing - these are all optional, depending on how adventurous and reflective you are feeling. Options include meditation, breathwork, journaling, cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dance, essential oil play and more.

What will the food be like? (I have allergies)

Food will be fresh and delicious, prepared on site by Jenna Moffett, founder of Whimsical Wellness. Jenna strives to create vibrant meal times that bring the community together around the table, leaving everyone feeling nourished and nurtured. Ayurveda, lovingkindness, and locally sourced/foraged foods, in collaboration with farmers; are all key ingredients in the dishes she creates. Jenna is able to easily accomodate allergies in her cooking and I will collect allergy information in advance of our retreat to ensure everyone is taken care of.

Is there an age limit for your retreats?

No way! I encourage anyone from teen to elder to attend. there is a beauty in spaces were we learn from each other across generations (and not enough of them). I welcome all ages to come to share, learn and absorb from one another.
