Kiyomi Takahashi

With over 17 years of experience, I integrate Japanese spirituality and yoga to create a transformative practice. My teachings blend Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, meditation, and breathwork to help you reduce stress and reconnect with your true self.

Join Kiyomi Takahashi (E-RYT 500) for a six-day retreat in Ise-Shima, a region known for its sacred history, natural beauty, and living traditions. Through daily yoga and meditation, meaningful cultural experiences, visits to sacred sites, and time in nature, you will have the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the deeper spirit of Japan. More than a vacation, this retreat offers a chance to step away from the noise of daily life, reconnect with the wisdom of your body and breath, and rediscover a quieter, more grounded way of being.

Reviews

Kiyomi is an excellent teacher. Her classes combine attention to proper form in the yoga poses with a sort of spirituality. The classes can be challenging physically if you wish them to be, or not. I leave each class feeling stronger and also calm and refreshed. Kiyomi’s website is a valuable resource with multiple classes of various types, challenging and restorative, and meditation options as well. Kiyomi brings a tremendous amount of light and kindness into the world through her teaching. Enjoy!
