Favorite prop? Block
Primary practice? Asana practice
Teaching style? Find a comfortable body by adjusting small parts of body such as bone, skin and muscle. I've been practicing ashtanga based yoga and Iyenger based yoga. But also lot of other body conditioning staffs. Luckily I could take Maty Ezraty's final training in Tokyo, so her passion is always my inspiration.
What poses do you always teach? Tadasana and downward facing dog
Favorite pose? Trikonasana
Least favorite pose? Marichyasana D, don’t have enough arm length to rap around lol
Favorite Tokyo neighborhood? Where they have park and good coffee!
Favorite fruit? Japanese peach is the best.
Favorite tunes for yoga? For the savasana I tend to use “Atlas Song” by Jonsi & Alex. I often don't use the music during asana practice.
What do you always do when you ride the train? Checking my emails
Most embarrassing yoga moment? When I put on my lululemon pants inside out. There is a black small triangle at the crotch…I couldn’t open my legs.
Interests outside of yoga? Gyrotonic, Feldenkrais method, pilates.... movemet nerd!
Special talent? Won’t give up once I have decided to do something.
Hunter or gatherer? Hunter-ish
What word do you always say or spell wrong? Region and religion.
