Rise and shine in the stunning Japanese forest with yoga classes, spend the days absorbing new forms of dance and play with workshops from some of the world’s most vibrant instructors, then spin into the night with colors, costumes and creativity. Spin Matsuri promises to be a weekend to remember: swirling LED lights, fire play, ecstatic movement and positive connection.

Spin Matsuri 2009 will be held at Seimei no Mori Resort in Chiba, just 90 minutes from Tokyo. Surrounded by lush forest and grassy expanses, you’ll stay in cozy wooden cottages, fuel yourself with vegetarian-friendly buffet meals, and enjoy the athletic atmosphere of the Nihon Aerobics Center (NAC). The resort offers spa treatments and features a training gym, swimming pool, sauna, and other amenities for our use.

Instructors from Japan and around the world will join the Spin Matsuri to share their talents and love of flow arts.
