Yoga at temple

When my best friend from Belgium visited me, we did yoga at temple.

I'm personally not a big fan of yoga but I did enjoyed this yoga. You practice in tatami room of temple with a corridor, we call it Engawa, facing a Japanese garden.

It was a hot summer day when we did it but still feel a bit fresh inside because it's a temple. I would love to try in winter with a view of a snow garden.

One of the things I miss in Japan is the peace in nature. Japan is often considered as a very busy place with many people with lots of stress and too much work, which is true… but not everywhere. We still have a lot of nature and keep it as it is. There are places where time goes by slowly.

Kyoto is one of the places you could feel the nature while you are still in a big city.
