Today is International Yoga Day and I celebrated by leading two yoga classes.

At 7 am, my daily Zoom class practiced “Common Yoga Protocol” which is the Indian government’s programme for the event.

And at 9 am, I hosted a yoga session at overlooking the rice fields at Oyama Senmaida. It was glorious to be outside in the sunshine, taking in the view, listening to the birdsong, and feeling the breeze. I was delighted that some of the participants from last year’s session returned, along with old friends and familiar faces. I’m indebted to Mamiko for documenting the session.

I planned the Tanada Yoga sequence to combine seated and standing stretches with fun partner poses and ended with a relaxing meditation focussed on our senses.

Already looking forward to next year’s International Yoga Day. And until then, morning yoga continues on Zoom. Please join us any day at 7 am.
