Discovering Ashtanga Yoga

Yoooo!

When I was back in my home land of Japan 7 years ago, i took my first yoga class!

It was an Ashtanga Yoga class. It helped me open and release stress from my heart. I couldn't stop crying at the end of class when we where in Savasana (relaxation pose).

From this experience I recognized what I was feel during the day, and how it affected me. Because of this, I decided to take a yoga class once a week at least...

...so I research what Tokyo, Japan had to offer; what kind of yoga classes were available, what was the cost, schedu1ling, and so fourth.

I found an Ashtanga Yoga class in Ogikubo, Japan. Class fees were reasonable and there were many students, it was packed! The instruction was bilingual - both in English and Japanese.

I think, all students felt, "We are one, we are here, we are getting along together, all at same time." It was awesome, two thumbs up!

I sometimes forget to "Breath" naturally but yoga reminds me that breathing is basic, and can help us see, ask and explore ourselves.

Yes, it is a simple thought, "Just Breath." It is also very important. Yoga like scuba diving (also one of my favorite thing) teaches one how important the breath is.

Lots of yoga love to you,
