Ignite Yoga returns to Shibuya Sky this month with a series of open-air yoga classes where you can elevate yourself – literally and figuratively – at the rooftop observation area of Shibuya Scramble Square. The classes will kick off on Thursday September 15 and occur every weekend until Sunday October 9.
Ignite Yoga had a successful stint at the rooftop observation area of Shibuya Scramble Square last May with a similar morning yoga programme. However, it's shaking things up this time by incorporating meditation into each session. If you’re looking for ways to uplift your mind and body as we ease into autumn, these morning sessions may be just the thing to put you on the right track.
Be ready for an early start – every class begins at 7.40am runs until 8.40am, so don’t attempt a late-night pub crawl the night before. The upside to this is that you’ll be able to exercise outdoors during the cooler part of the day and beat the long queues for a weekend brunch after the class ends.
The classes will be led by different guest instructors each day, including Ignite Yoga founder Juri Edwards, May Liana, Eri Sasaki and Kenji Kureyama. Check the schedule for the full programme here.
Each hour-long session is ¥3,850 per person and can be booked online. For more information, see Ignite Yoga’s website.
Too early for you? Head up to Shibuya Sky in the evening instead to check out the building's limited-time rooftop theatre.
