PADASA is a renovated building that was originally a pawn shop, built in 1841 and inherited from my family.
PADASA is a hidden salon surrounded by the Kumano River spreading out below, the scent of trees, and silence.
Through meditation, yoga, and art, we connect the mind and body to the “now” and provide a calm and peaceful time.
PADASA regularly holds mindfulness meditation and yoga & meditation classes.
We also host workshops and special classes by guest meditation and yoga teachers on an irregular basis.
We hold live performances, workshops, and solo exhibitions by professional artists from various fields.
For meditators and yogis traveling the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, we offer assistance in planning and arranging retreats, creating a space for practice.
PADASA is a small salon that connects mind, body, and the present moment through meditation, yoga, and art.
Grounded in Buddhism, this is a healthy and secure form of meditation, with instruction derived from internationally reputable sources.
With a maximum of 7 people per class, we offer a safe and enjoyable practice for everyone, from beginners to experienced participants.
From time to time, we hold music, art, and theater performances.
