This yoga program is performed while listening to the sound of crystal bowls, which are said to have healing effects, and each participant finds "just right" in various physical elements, such as breathing and posture, in the process of taking poses.

The class began with an explanation of yoga and crystal bowls. The quiet main hall of Daneiji Temple is filled with the sound of crystal bowls and the instructor's words, and the first thing to do is to regulate your breathing.

The project attracted participants from various locations in and outside of the prefecture.

Each participant will hold a pose while respecting his or her own breath, which is prepared by each participant.

The instructor's voice, together with breathing, large and slow movements, and the instructor's voice, shake not only the body but also the mind and relieve tension in the body and mind.

Some of the participants were smiling, perhaps because of the relaxation of their hearts.

The class ends with "Shavasana," a pose in which you lie on your back. Warm up with a blanket and place an eye pillow over your eyes. The instructor presses your shoulders, and you relax on the yoga mat, body and soul, surrounded by the sounds of crystal bowls.

After the class, participants were also able to touch the crystal bowls to make sounds and hear about the charm of crystal bowls from Ms. AIKO.

The morning after being exposed to the sound of crystal bowls, everyone seemed to feel the effect of relaxing their bodies, and everyone was looking forward to it!

When asked for their impressions after the experience, we heard comments such as, "It was a special experience to do yoga amidst the sounds of the rain, the river, and the crystal bowls," "I felt relaxed and relaxed when your hands pressed my shoulders at the end," and "I visited Nagato City with the purpose of this yoga trip.
