Join me in Nozawa, Nagano, in the mountains of Japan for seven nights and six days  of yoga asana practice and study designed to infuse your practice with all aspects of the classic Eight Limbs of Yoga.  Not only will you experience the beauty and tranquility of Nagano and Japanese culture but in this unique setting you will explore the philosophies and practice of yoga that will deepen both your understanding and your joy in this amazing practice.

Plan on arriving on June 5th, 2022.  All accommodations are at Villa Nozawa in traditional Japanese tatami rooms with shared bathroom and include access to the village onsen (hot springs) as well as a daily breakfast.  There will be both a welcoming and farewell group dinner for all attendees of the retreat.  There are many options for lunches and dinners on your own in between!  

There will be two daily yoga practices, incorporating instructor James Wesson's eclectic mix of yoga styles that is suitable for all ages and experience levels as well as discussion and readings of yoga texts both classical and modern.  You will be challenged at times (physically and mentally)and also find a calmness within that challenge.  

In between the yoga sessions there will be a tour of Nozawa as well as a cooking class and a calligraphy class; other days you are free to explore the many offerings of Nozawa which include hiking, mountain biking, day trips via train to Nagano or just soak away your cares in the many onsen in and around the villa.  

$1050.00 USD for a shared room

$1185.00 USD for a single room
