In 2025, Andrei will be running workshops in four Japanese cities. These will be before the temple retreat in Koyasan. The aim is to introduce Japanese yoga practitioners to essential yoga practices in different regions of Japan.
International students are welcome in Kyoto and Kobe. In these two regions, Andrei has been running workshops every year for the last few years. It is expected that advanced practitioners will attend. If you would like to experience a workshop in one of these regions, we recommend the Kyoto and Kobe workshops.
Please note that the regional yoga studios, not Andrei Ram Japan, will be responsible for the workshops. The designated contact person will announce the details and opening of applications in early June, so please wait until then to contact the yoga studios or the contact person. We will announce the details on this website and Instagram as soon as they are finalized.

* Please make all your own accommodation and transportation arrangements.
Especially at Koyasan has been difficult to book for the past few years, and the price increases at the last minute. There will be even more congestion this year because the EXPO is being held in Japan. If you would like to stay at Koyasan in advance, please make your arrangements as soon as possible.
* This is just one example. We hope you enjoy Japan according to your travel goals and preferences!
