We are excited to announce that respected and in-demand London yoga teacher Aram Raffy will be in Niseko running an unmissable yoga retreat this coming August 18th through 24th.
Each day will be divided between morning and afternoon/evening classes. Morning classes will range between 90 - 120 minutes and afternoon/evening classes will run between 75 - 90 minutes for 6.5 days.
Morning yoga classes will be dynamic Yogasana practice. Ashtanga based vinyasa. Strong, fast, sweaty fun! Evening classes will be more gentle restorative sessions with an emphasis on helping students in developing a personal seated meditation practice.
The event is being hosted by Ki Niseko, but the retreat is open to any guests or locals wishing to participate. Classes will take place in Hirafu 188's fifth floor conference room. Registration ahead of time is recommended as availability is limited and package registration must be confirmed one day in advance.
As a well-known yoga instructor in London, Aram Raffy teaches classes at some of the city's top studios. Having traveled extensively to study and further his practice, he has taught and learned from people of all walks of life.
As a student of both Eastern and Western philosophies, Aram Raffy seeks to pass on the spiritual essence of Yoga through a powerful physical practice, deep conscious breath-work and active meditation. His most well-known classes are an uplifting style of Ashtanga vinyasa-krama and when set to an eclectic soundtrack, his original sense of humour, and a gentle guiding hand it is a real experience to be a part of.
Raffy's plan for the retreat is to run dynamic, strong, fast and sweaty Yogasana practice in the morning and gentle, restorative sessions in the evening, with a focus on aiding students to develop a personal seated meditation practice.
