My name is Mami, and I am a passionate Yoga and Meditation instructor based in Shelford, Victoria. Born in Japan and later migrating to Australia, I have had the privilege of experiencing the best of both cultures and languages.
Teaching Journey:
My teaching journey started as an English teacher in Japan, where I had the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion for language. After moving to Australia, I followed my calling to become a primary school teacher, specialising in teaching Japanese to young students. It brings me great joy to connect children with the language and culture of my homeland.
Love for Yoga and Meditation:
Yoga and Meditation have been an integral part of my life for well over a decade. It began as a personal practice, but during the COVID outbreak, I took the opportunity to deepen my understanding and study Yoga more comprehensively. This dedication led me to become a qualified Yoga Instructor. Now, I have the privilege of sharing my love of Yoga and Meditation with others.
The Power of Connection:
I firmly believe that “connection” is a vital aspect of modern life. By fostering connections with nature, people, and most importantly, with oneself, we can cultivate a deeper sense of fulfillment and balance. This belief is reflected in all my Yoga classes, which are conducted live, rather than pre-recorded. I value the connection and interaction between myself and my students, creating an environment where we can grow and learn together.
The Gift of Balance:
Yoga and Meditation have been transformative for me, providing me with invaluable tools to navigate the joys and challenges of life. Through the practice, I have learned to manage stress, release tension, and cultivate a greater sense of joy and peace. It is my mission to share these benefits with others, guiding them towards a more balanced and harmonious existence.
Join Me:
I invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and well-being through the practice of Yoga and Meditation. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, I welcome you to join my live classes, where we can explore the transformative power of these ancient practices together.
Let’s connect, find our inner peace, and create a harmonious bond with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
