Hakone, Japan/ Five Elements Forest Yoga Retreat
July 13-16, 2026
Aligning the Five Elements of Ayurveda Within
Step into the sacred landscape of Hakone, where forest, lake, mountain, and sky come together to restore balance within. This yoga retreat is inspired by Ayurveda’s Five Elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space — and guided by the natural forces that surround us in Hakone’s pristine environment.
Through daily yoga, mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, and nature immersion, you will reconnect with your body and the rhythms of nature, allowing deep balance and renewal to unfold.
This yoga retreat is a journey of learning, practice, and direct experience. We begin with a gentle introduction to Ayurveda’s Five Elements, offering simple teachings to understand how Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space exist in both nature and within ourselves.
Each day is dedicated to one element, with yoga, breathwork, and meditation designed around its qualities. Practices range from grounding and slow movements to flowing sequences, energizing sessions, and deep stillness—supporting balance in body, mind, and nervous system.
Beyond the mat, we visit natural spaces in Hakone—forest paths, Ashi Lake, volcanic landscapes, open skies, and mountain views. Through mindful walking, quiet observation, and reflection, we connect each element in nature to its expression within us.
By combining learning, daily themed practice, and nature immersion, this retreat helps restore harmony, clarity, and a deep sense of connection—leaving you balanced, renewed, and aligned with the rhythms of nature.
