Sairinji temple in Fukuoka’s Yoshizuka neighborhood lists an evening Tera YOGA session for Friday, November 20, beginning at 8 p.m. A November 9 Konohen notice points readers to the temple’s original announcement.

The setting comes with ordinary details

The temple names Yurino Kawamura as the teacher and limits attendance to twenty people. It asks participants to bring a mat, or a blanket if they do not have one, because mats are not available to borrow. No membership fee is required, and primary-school-age children and younger can attend free.

The announcement also lists an earlier November 6 session. These are scheduled events, rather than evidence of attendance or a report of what happened in the room.

A temple calendar can make practice part of neighborhood life without requiring a dedicated studio. The practical information still matters: the teacher, the group limit, what to bring and the current arrangements for joining. The source does not establish that the setting produces a particular benefit.
