BEYOND THE ASANA

with Emil Wendel & Anouk Aoun

In the delightful environment of Kuon-ji and Mount Minobu, this unique retreat with Emil and Anouk is designed to introduce you to both a stimulating postural practice and the magic that lies beyond the physical aspect of yoga.​​

About our Retreats at
Kunon-ji Minobusan

The home of Nichiren Buddhism, Kuon-ji sits at the foot of Mt. Minobu. For our retreats, we arrange accommodations at temple inns and the meals are shojin-ryori. Yoga classes are held at temples and we participate in some of Kuon-ji's Buddhist services. Weather depending, we hike up the mountain and may conduct classes at the temple facilities near the peak. Note that hiking is optional; a cable tramway is available. On the final day we visit nearby Shimobe Onsen.
