about Niseko Yoga Fest
Follow the trail, find your flow...
Surrounded by mount Yotei and Annupuri mountain range,
Niseko is the ideal location to practice yoga.
We have started this Yoga Fest to let the locals know about the different types of Yoga that is taught in Niseko. We also wanted to bring people together practicing yoga in various locations where they can appreciate the rich nature of this place.
Now we are aiming to make this event bigger and easier to access for people from all over Hokkaido and Japan so that everyone can come to Niseko to enjoy this amazing location to practice Yoga!

Hatha Yoga Basic
In this class Miwa will lead you to take Asana=poses thoroughly while breathing to stimulate the work of organs. The aim is to be conscious of movements of your muscle and the framework and to see how effective it is when you do this. Let’s concentrate on the mat for 60 minutes, feel your mind stop racing, and achieve the feeling of liberation right in the heart of Niseko’s natural surroundings.

Niseko Harmony Yoga
After being certified as Yoga teacher in Tokyo, Miwa Moved to Niseko in 2012, then launched Niseko Harmony Yoga in 2015 with hopes to spread Yoga in the area. She leads lessons that can be a good introduction to all beginners using her own experience of having "inflexible body" and keeping the class small to see everyone well. Her objection is to bring harmony to body and soul, like [Wa], the 2nd letter of her name, which means harmony.

Relax Ying Yoga
This class is good for all levels, and is designed to bring a good balance of Ying and Yang by practicing several standing poses(Yang) and stretching poses(Ying). We’ll pay attention to the breathing and deepening of the asana, to try to find “where you stand right now”. Happy to be there with all to experience this yoga class in this nature of Niseko.
