Due to the change in lifestyle in this era, the lack of exercise for the whole body has become a problem. Therefore, we have added a new content that enhances the physical movement function.

With the support of HOSHINOYA Karuizawa staff who have mastered the proper deep breathing method and walking style, you will prepare your body in a way that suits you.

In the With Corona era, speaking from the abdomen, speaking clearly, and being conscious of facial expressions are decreasing, and the strength of facial muscles and vocal cords is decreasing along with respiratory muscles.
