ヨガ
Significado: Yoga — a hugely popular wellness exercise combining physical poses, breathing, and relaxation.
ヨガ is one of the most popular fitness activities in Japan, with studios on nearly every major shopping street. Hot yoga (ホットヨガ) in particular has been a massive trend, with chains like LAVA and CALDO expanding rapidly. While yoga is practiced by all genders, it is especially popular among women as both exercise and stress relief. Morning yoga (朝ヨガ), power yoga, and maternity yoga are common variations. The practice has become so mainstream that many Japanese gyms include yoga classes as standard.
