About this retreat...
We hope you’ll join us for our second annual Kyoto yoga retreat. After an incredible experience last year, we couldn’t resist doing it again!
Visualize good food, matcha, temples, shopping, new friendships and (oh ya) YOGA too! If you enjoy any one or all of these things then this trip is for YOU.
A trip where you will be guided to some of the local spots and do a couple of touristy things too, but also have the space and freedom to enjoy Kyoto your way!
A little about our nine year friendship - Naoko and I met in Los Gatos, CA during our Yoga Teacher Training. We spent every weekend together for months becoming teachers… learning, practicing, walking to Whole Foods for lunch breaks and developing a friendship that would eventually transcend all distance! She moved back to Japan in 2021 and we’ve kept in touch via WhatsApp and Zoom. I know you’ll love her bright, loving spirit just as much as I do and hope you can travel with me to meet her!
“The hotel was lovely, the location and amenities made it ideal. The exclusive yoga and monk led meditation experience at a nearby temple was unforgettable. Visiting the Bamboo Forest and Fushimi Inari were not only awesome photo ops but spiritual in nature. The retreat had the perfect combination of yoga, excursions, traditional meals as well as free time to explore on our own. Ashley’s partnership with Naoko was icing on the cake. They worked so well together to provide a very memorable experience down to the smallest details. I would highly recommend joining Ashley on any of her future yoga retreats.” Kyoto Retreat, November 2024
