Okinawa Satsang 2015 invites people interested in yoga and meditation

Okinawa is famous for being an island with strong spiritual aura and strong connections to its great nature. That is a natural reason for organizers of the biggest yoga event in the western Japan, Satsang 2015, to pick up Okinawa as the location for the three-day festival of yoga, meditation and music. The event is aimed at everyone who’s interested from beginners to advanced practitioners.

At Satsang 2015 those who are interested can study real yoga while others can just enjoy the healthy food, music and just relax.
