KAMOCHI Full Moon Retreat, Oct 2019
We Are KAMOCHI.
KAMOCHI’s mission is to help sustain health and longevity for all people through the medium of yoga and dance, while providing a space to reconnect with a purposeful and blissful life. Established in 2016, Karine & Mochi fused their like-minded visions and created the KAMOCHIMETHOD. They have drawn from their unique lives in the professional performing arts world and yoga communities to create a methodology focused on inspiring and challenging individuals to center themselves and bridge them back to their authenticity. The conscious balance of this vision has inspired Karine & Mochi to offer yoga retreats, dance intensives, master classes and workshops to celebrate the yoga enthusiast, thriving artist and seeking spirit innate to all of us.
The KAMOCHIMETHOD is based upon 3 principles:
Breath
The first focus in our methodology integrates breathing techniques at the beginning and end of our sessions so that you can develop a more intimate relationship with your overall energy. Becoming more conscious about your breath gives you a tool to explore the subtler structures of your mental and emotional worlds. We understand that breath awareness can eliminate imbalances not only in the physical body but also in one’s overall well-being. We invite you to then practice the concept of “Being Breathed”: Surrender to the wisdom of your own breath.
Alignment
The second focus in our methodology nurtures and challenges the physical foundation of the body by disciplining and mastering its inner workings. We place great value on yoga asana and dance classes to hone techniques that you can depend on throughout your life. Equally as important, when you align your life with your unique vision, intentions become clearer and actions become more purposeful. From this powerful fusion, an inexhaustible sense of joy, hope and trust is released and all obstacles transform into sources of growth.
Vow
The intention behind our third method realigns you with your true nature. Making a vow usually includes another human being, such as a spouse, however KAMOCHI believes that this promise needs to be first towards oneself. In making a personal vow, you activate energy that inspires your innate creativity. How do we stay accountable to our promises while maintaining integrity as we face daily challenges? Discovering a personal vow is a very intimate journey, and in committing to this oath you declare and honor your lifetime mission from this moment on.
Through our methodology, KAMOCHI invites you into the heart of this journey together, where laughter abounds, discoveries unfold and life is gracefully transformed into purposeful action.
