After graduating from university, while working as a company employee, held yoga classes regularly in Atami, Chigasaki, and Hiratsuka on holidays When I was 20, I visited a yoga studio in Fujisawa for the first time on my way home from school. My yoga life started from there, I met many wonderful yoga teachers, and I am deeply moved to be able to return as a teacher after 15 years. After that, I experienced a healthy maternity life and a wonderful birth, and devoted myself to childcare while going back and forth between Japan and India. Yoga has always been a gentle companion to my life, always giving me a new and positive perspective. I would like to tell women who have the same troubles as me and those who are entering a new life stage through yoga.

She started learning yoga in 2012 while working as a company employee, and was drawn to the charm of yoga that not only prepares the body but also the mind.
From 2016, when I started working as an instructor, I started going to Raj's class.
I continue to practice while realizing the effects of asanas that can be obtained by practicing with correct alignment using props, and the strength of the body and mind through traditional yoga practice methods.

When I became an adult, I started doing ballet, which I longed for. While learning ballet, I began to face my stiff body and pursue a functional body that does not get injured, and ended up in yoga.
No matter how much I stretched, my muscles that didn't open up began to move, and at the same time, I was shocked to find that my stress had been eliminated. I wanted to tell you about the beginning of my yoga. Currently, I am studying the philosophy of bhakti yoga, and I hope to convey the care and love of mind and body to many people through yoga.
