"Jah9 x ZEN Stay - YOD New Moon Retreat Program" to be held November 1st
AWAJI CITY, HYOGO PREFECTURE, JAPAN, October 16, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Zen retreat facility Zenbo Seinei, located in Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, has announced that reggae artist and wellness advocate Jah9 will be hosting an overnight retreat event, "Jah9 x ZEN Stay - YOD New Moon Retreat Program" at Zenbo Seinei from November 1st (Friday) to November 2nd (Saturday), as part of her first ever Japan tour. This event marks the first such retreat in Japan for the musical artist and yoga teacher, who has previously held yoga retreats across the world.
The event invites guest instructor Jah9, a leading figure of the reggae revival movement which has been gaining momentum since the late 2010s, to share her message and spirituality from the perspective of a wellness advocate and cultural ambassador.
Based on the yoga instruction philosophy of "Yoga on Dub" practiced by Jah9, the event will include pranayama breathing exercises to calm the mind and deepen one's connection with the body, as well as "intention-setting sessions" using notes to reflect on one's intentions, promote spiritual growth and self-inquiry, and increase awareness of one's own goals, helping participants to harmonize the body and mind and promote self-confidence.
The "New Moon Yoga on Dub Session" will be held in the tranquil stillness of Awaji Island's nighttime, using the energy of the moon to calm the body and mind and promote inner tranquility, and will feature special yoga asanas and meditation to celebrate the new moon, accompanied by "dub music", a musical style born in Jamaica. The following morning, guests will cleanse the mind by wiping the 100-meter open-air wooden deck of Zenbo Seinei, followed by an "asana flow" yoga session with uplifting dub rhythms to prepare the energy for the day ahead.
The collaborative event between the zen retreat facility Zenbo Seinei and musical artist Jah9 promises a unique wellness experience filled with music in the heart of the vast nature of Awaji Island.
