Okinawa Satsang 2015 invites people interested in yoga and meditation

NO DATA

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.

This is the second year that Satsang takes place on Okinawa. This year’s location is Murasaki Mura theme park in Yomitan. The event features top-class Yoga instructors, musicians and dancers from Japan and overseas on all three days.

A variety of yoga classes, including Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine practiced in India, and Zen meditation are held from in the morning through the evening, both out in the nature and indoors. A fee to participate is charged for some of the classes while some are free. Check the details of each class, instructors and schedule at the Satsang official English language website at http://yogasatsang.jp/en/. The fee for classes ranges between ¥2,000 yen and ¥15,000. Tickets can be purchased on the website.

Each day after the sunset, it is live music time when rave parties and live collaboration performances of yoga and music are scheduled to take place.

The events on Friday, Oct. 16th start at 10:00, while Saturday and Sunday programs begin at 06:00, and run until 23:00 on all three days.
