Breathing is living. Silver Week, when the crisp autumn air feels so refreshing.
Are you aware of your breath, which is always by your side?
Breathing has become quick and shallow due to summer fatigue and daily stress.
Step away from your hectic daily life—where it sometimes feels like you can’t catch your breath—and, accompanied by the cool autumn breeze,
return to deep, calm breaths that bring relaxation and a sense of happiness.
Your breath is always with your heart.
During this long weekend, as you feel the changing seasons,
Unlock the true power of your breath—something you can change right now.
A special retreat journey to explore the unknown possibilities of breathing techniques as autumn deepens.

Silver Week, when the crisp autumn air feels so refreshing.
That breath that’s always by your side—
Are you aware of it?
Due to summer fatigue and daily stress,
your breathing has become shallow and rapid.
Step away from your hectic daily life—where it sometimes feels as if you’ve momentarily stopped breathing—
and, accompanied by the cool autumn breeze,
return to deep, calm breaths that bring relaxation and a sense of happiness.
Your breath is always with your heart.
During this long weekend, as you feel the changing seasons,
unlock the true power of your breath—something you can change right now.

Instructor
Toshihiko Kodama
Toshihiko Kodama
Representative of Union Yoga Japan; Founder of Union Breath;
; TriYoga Instructor and Breathing Technique Instructor
In 2000, at the age of 20, I experienced a sudden shift in consciousness that awakened me to breathing techniques and
meditation, leading me to deeply recognize the importance of breathing.
My previous perception of the world changed completely, and my very way of being and living transformed from the ground up.
Since then, I have dedicated my life’s work to yoga and breathing techniques.
In 2005, I began studying and teaching yoga in earnest.
I systematically mastered yoga and breathing techniques at the yoga school Kaivalyadhama in India.
In 2013, I launched Union Yoga Japan and began my activities. In 2019, I moved to Awaji Island,
and founded Awaji Sun Ashram as a place to study yoga and discover my true self.
To advocate for a better way of life, I immerse myself in nature and teach yoga and breathing techniques.
With the goal of helping everyone breathe correctly and lead healthier lives, I conduct breathing classes at elementary schools and universities.
My wish is for everyone to breathe comfortably, fully enjoy the benefits of breathing, and lead healthy lives.
I believe that if each person’s breathing changes, a sense of comfort and ease will spread, ultimately leading the world to change for the better.
