Yoga Studios
Posted: Tue April 20, 2004 04:01 AM UTC
Hello,

I've been searching for yoga studios in and around Tokyo City Center. I found 2 locations (one at the Museum Tokyo and one in Shibuya-ku).

But I'm looking for one that specifically focuses on Bikram practice. The ones I found didn't.

Can anyone local (or elsewhere) recommend any or point to a website that would list the studios in Tokyo?
Would it be pretty rare to find one there?

Thanks for your help!

And this one is out of the Yamanote Line Loop, but not far away.
http://www.bikramyoga.com/schools/japan2.htm

I read in a Japanse page that only in these two places they teach the Bikram. But you know , there are Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, etc..and all them have a market.

Now , I f you're REALLY interested I can teach you the
method BIG RUM, which I have already introduced in my Tsukuba's Sport tips. The VTL position is perhaps the most depurated one. VTL stands for : "Very Tired Lotus".

EUREKA!!!!!

Perfect !!!! Thanks Paisano!!

You should join me !!! (Yes, I've seen that "Tired Lotus" Pose in your Tsukuba page.....quite impressive!) ;-)

They call it "Hot" Yoga because you sweat like Pocari in those 90 minute sessions! But best way to detoxify your body from all that RUM and SAKE! ;-))

These locations sounds great, but which would be closest to Asakusa?

Come on, M!!! Become one with your inner core and join me !!

I'll show you my Supta Padangushtasana if you show me yours! ;-))

Ohhhhmmmmm

Shibuya is your spot. Ginza line takes you in aprox. 40 minutes from Asakusa to Shibuya and in aprox 39.5 minutes from Shibuya to Asakusa. No need to transfer to any other metro line. Ginza line is the orange line.

If both of us have a "Supta Padangushtasana " I won't be really interested....Because the good thing is when you have "something" that I don't have and viceversa, and both are complimentary and ... Oh!!! Wait!!! Yeah!
A "Supta Padangushtasana"!!!!! Hot Yoga indeed!!! (-;

I don't know what Manuel's "plans" are after my visit.....;-)) but I will be in Tokyo from 20 May until 23 May. So, basically just 3 nights there.

3 nights, no sleep. I think that's the plan, if I remember correctly !!! ;-) Sorry we'll miss you at the VT party Joanne! But, yes, enjoy Okinawa!
