Japanese Yoga

At Zen Om Yoga Studio we practice Japanese Yoga. Japanese Yoga has been described as “the sport of stretching”. The art of Japanese Yoga utilises a variety of poses to tap into the patterns and influences of our everyday life.

Japanese yoga combines traditional yoga postures with movements intended to activate certain meridians within the body and thus to alter or rebalance the structural body. It makes you feel great and promotes life force and other health benefits. Regular practice will improve the blood flow and circulation within the body so you can experience a true sense of well being. It also helps to keep you young, healthy and in great shape.

You will leave our morning yoga classes to feel energised and fresh to start the day. Sydney is often referred to as fast-moving and busy, so for many Sydneysiders, our days are hectic. Our evening yoga classes recognise this by providing the perfect stress release, preparing you for a restful sleep. Best of all you will never feel that our yoga classes are repetitive and boring.

Japanese Yoga can make your body work more efficiently in your daily life and even in other areas of physical training. Even if you are suffering an existing injury, the gentle movements of Japanese Yoga can speed healing and aid the rehabilitation process.

THE BENEFITS OF JAPANESE YOGA

  •  Increase flexibility making everyday movements easier
  •  Rebalance major muscle groups
  •  Improve blood flow
