Experience a unique yoga class in Kyoto that combines seasonal aromas with floor yoga, inviting you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find balance in body and mind.

Enjoy the gentle and refreshing presence of seasonal aromas as you move through mindful yoga and comfortable breathing. Each scent is carefully selected to complement the atmosphere and energy of the season, creating a calming and immersive experience.

Integrate the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into your practice. In TCM, the human body is understood through the concept of the “Five Organs” — liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys — which are closely connected with the changing seasons.

Each season is associated with different organs and emotions: spring with the liver and irritability, summer with the heart and joy, autumn with the lungs and sadness, and winter with the kidneys and fear. Through yoga, mindful breathing, seasonal aromas, and awareness of the natural rhythm around us, we gently reconnect with ourselves and the season we are living in.

For example, in autumn, the lungs and large intestine are the focus. Autumn invites us to turn inward, breathe deeply, and create space for letting go. Yoga poses that gently open the chest and encourage conscious breathing can help us experience this seasonal quality more deeply.

The aroma used in the practice may also reflect the character of the season. For example, Sweet Orange has a bright, fresh, and uplifting scent that evokes warm sunlight and the feeling of summer. Its cheerful aroma can beautifully complement a practice during the cooler months.

This practice is also rooted in the Eastern philosophy of Tenjin Gōitsu — the unity of nature and human beings — the idea that we are not separate from nature, but part of it.

By moving, breathing, and experiencing the changing seasons through our senses, take a moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover the natural rhythm within you.
