Join SKYTREE® YOGA to keep your body and mind healthy at this “Sacred Place of Yoga”
On the International Day of Yoga in 2021 (June 21), The Yoga Organization of Japan recognized TOKYO
SKYTREE as a “Sacred Place of Yoga!”
The practice of yoga enhances health and well-being through breathing, meditation, and poses that balance
the mind and body. Doing yoga on the observation deck of TOKYO SKYTREE and gazing far out over the city
holds great potential to settle the mind and harmonize the energies in the body.
With its recognition as a “Sacred Place of Yoga,” TOKYO SKYTREE aims to attract many people to practice
yoga on its observation deck. Since September 2021, Special SKYTREE YOGA lessons have been held in the
Tembo Galleria (Galleria deck), marked with an original yoga pose developed and named "SKYTREE Pose."
Why not join in and do some healthy yoga at TOKYO SKYTREE?
*All are the morning lesson.
*Scheduled Date：May 18, 2024 (Sat.), July 20 (Sat.), October 19 (Sat.), December 14 (Sat.), February 15, 2025 (Sat.)
*Tickets go on sale 30 days before each session. Please check this page for further information.
In collaboration with the Yoga Association of Japan, SKYTREE YOGA has been held irregularly at TOKYO SKYTREE in the extraordinary Galleria hall space 450 meters above the ground.
The yoga lesson focuses on basic poses so that even first-timers will not struggle, and those more
advanced in yoga can relax and enjoy the experience.
The first poses will relieve the body’s stiffness and promote blood circulation. Next, deep breathing
will relieve stress and fatigue in your mind and heart.
After aligning mind, body, and spirit, the panoramic view from the SKYTREE will restore your natural
kindness and gentleness.
Spectacular View Yoga is an experience unique to TOKYO SKYTREE—enjoy yoga on the Galleria deck with no other
visitors present!

This original pose that represents TOKYO SKYTREE is based on the tree pose (vrksasana), which
symbolizes an elegant tree with firm roots and a trunk that extends up to the sky.
The tree, as part of the name of the pose, is a symbol of community, a place where people gather
together.
Also a part of the TOKYO SKYTREE name, the tree also symbolizes gathering under the tree-like tower which
stretches into the sky, creating a community space that is friendly to people and the environment—a place
where people from around the world can get together and create new culture.
The SKYTREE POSE was created with such ideas in mind.
In 2014, India’s prime minister Narendra Modi gave a speech at the United Nations in which he
explained how yoga is the ideal means of bringing peace to the world. A proposal to establish an
“International Day of Yoga” to be observed on June 21st every year was then adopted with the broad
support of the 177 member states, including Japan.
Since 2014, events have been held in countries around the world on or around June 21st, creating a
huge International Day of Yoga movement.
The Yoga Organization of Japan has recognized TOKYO SKYTREE as a place where the practice of yoga can
have great effects because it takes place in natural scenery or in a structure that inspires human
wisdom or a beautiful environment that harmonizes people. TOKYO SKYTREE meets the organization’s
criteria for a “sacred place” in these four ways:
・It offers a quiet environment or place with beautiful scenery that brings mental and physical
calm
・Events are held that uphold the intrinsic values of yoga
・It offers an open space where a large-scale yoga event can be held
・Notable universal values are held within historical, traditional, cultural and artistic perspectives
▲Recognition awarded as “Sacred Place of Yoga”
The objectives of the organization are to maintain a proper understanding of the essence of yoga—a
part of the traditional culture of India—and to contribute to people’s health through the practice of
yoga, spread the philosophy of yoga and a correct understanding of Indian culture, and promote peace.
The organization promotes professional yoga certification based on a memorandum of understanding (MoU)
with the government of India.
