Press Release
September 15, 2024, Yamanakako, Yamanashi: We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Yoga & Tennis camp with BBQ on September 14th and 15th, 2024. The 2-day camp, designed exclusively for regular yogis and International Day of Yoga team members, was a resounding success, commencing on September 14, 2024 at Communication Plaza Kirara in Yamanakako.
The whole program was conducted as planned, and participants joined the different events as per their interests.
Day 1: An Energetic Start with Tennis and Yoga (September 14th)
On Day 1, we gathered at Communication Plaza Kirara. Our professional coach, Mitamura san, provided excellent guidance in Tennis, making it accessible even to beginners. The 2 hour session with the coach was a valuable experience for all, as we learned basic tennis techniques.
Relaxation Yoga in Nature
Following the Tennis game, we transitioned to a unique setting for a short relaxation yoga session. Under the shade of trees, on the grass, we immersed ourselves in the natural environment. This special yoga session focused on controlling our breathing through pranayama practice and achieving a state of Dhyana (how to do meditation).
Evening Special BBQ at Patanjali Japan Foundation Headquarters
In the evening, a BBQ was conducted at the DEN (the headquarters of the Patanjali Japan Foundation), where many members joined and enjoyed an excellent BBQ time with many friends. Members from various fields came together and shared their lives, work, hobbies, and how yoga connects to all types of people working in different sectors and industries.
Day 2: Refining Tennis Skills and Finding Inner Balance (September 15th)
On day 2, due to rain at 6 AM morning yoga was not conducted, and we gathered at the tennis court at 8:45 AM as planned. Mitamura sensei conducted the second round of tennis coaching, and we learned how to serve in Tennis. The 1-hour game this time gave good experience and better learning. We thought of creating a Tennis club in PJF for regular members who can visit Yamanakako and play Tennis.
Special Yoga Session by Ashutosh Sensei
Again, after the tennis game, everyone enjoyed the relaxation special yoga session by Ashutosh sensei and enjoyed the state of Dhyana. We practised the silver triangle to reset our minds.
After the yoga session, we had lunch at Da Vinci cafe and dispersed. Our members joined from Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Nagano, Mie, and Yamanakako! Everyone was delighted and enjoyed the yoga and tennis camp.
Conclusion: A Memorable Weekend of Yoga and Tennis
We look forward to the yoga sessions, which will include something special for our regular Adiyogis/Sewayogis.
This camp is part of Vihar (Relaxation), one of the main pillars of a healthy lifestyle.
