✨ Mindful Monday ✨

Tomorrow in Japan is 秋分の日 (Shūbun no Hi), the Autumn Equinox. 🌗
A moment when day and night stand in perfect balance before the gentle slide into longer nights.

Traditionally, it’s a time to honour the changing seasons, give thanks, and pause to reflect on what we carry forward and what we can let go.

In yoga, balance isn’t just about standing on one leg - it’s about how we meet change with steadiness, how we listen to both our energy and our need for rest.

This week, let’s take inspiration from the equinox to notice where we can bring a little more ease, calm, and harmony into daily life.

Join us on the mat to nurture your balance:

🍂Tuesdays & Fridays – Gentle Hatha & Yin Yoga with Mayumi

🍂Thursdays & Saturdays – Move More Easily Yoga with Sam

Let’s step into the season together with gratitude, compassion, and balance. 🍁✨

🧘‍♀️ Feeling stiff from sitting all day?

The Cat-Cow flow is like a little wake-up call for your spine - gentle, soothing, and surprisingly energising. Perfect if you spend long hours at a desk or in front of a screen.

💡 Helpful tips for a comfortable flow:
• Protect your lower back: If you feel discomfort in Cow, keep your lower back flat. Instead of letting your belly drop, gently pull back through your tailbone for length.
• Move with your breath: try breathing in both directions for each pose, then choose the one your body enjoys more. Let your breath guide the movement - it helps relax your spine.
• Ease tension in your neck: Don’t force your head up or down. Keep it soft and moveing comfortably.
• Engage your core lightly: A gentle activation of your core can help protect your lower back as you move.

Even a few rounds of this flow can release tension, restore mobility, and leave you feeling lighter.
Take this moment for your spine today... you deserve it💛

Do you notice a difference when you move your spine slowly versus rushing through?

✨ Mindful Monday ✨

“The more I practice, the less I scroll.”

It’s so easy to reach for our phones when we’re tired, restless, or just needing a little distraction. But have you noticed that scrolling rarely gives the true reset we’re hoping for? Often, it leaves us feeling a little more scattered than before.

Your mat, on the other hand, has a way of giving you exactly what you need. A stretch to release tension, a breath to calm your mind, a pause that feels real instead of fleeting. Social media isn’t the reset button we think it is - but movement and stillness are.

So here’s a gentle challenge for the week: swap just 10 minutes of scrolling for 10 minutes on your mat. It doesn’t have to be fancy - simply moving your body, taking deeper breaths, feeling how you connect with your mat or your seat - just giving your attention back to yourself. You’ll be surprised how different the day feels when your reset comes from within.

Classes this week to support your mindful reset:

🍂 availability on Tuesday & Friday – Gentle Hatha & Yin Yoga with Mayumi
🍂 availability on Saturday – Move More Easily Yoga with Sam

All classes are beginner-friendly 💛

📅 Reserve your spot via the link in comments or message us with any questions.

Let’s make this week less about scrolling, and more about moving, breathing, and being. Your mat is waiting. 🌸

Moments of quiet can be surprisingly full.
Pause for a breath, notice what lingers, and let your movement be guided by this gentle awareness.

How does stillness feel to you today?

✨ Extended Puppy Pose: Gentle Stretch for Your Back & Shoulders ✨

Extended Puppy Pose is a soothing stretch that helps lengthen the spine while gently stretching the shoulders. It’s a wonderful way to release tension, especially if you spend long hours at a desk, driving, or looking at a screen.

🧘‍♀️ Gentle cues for your practice:

* Keep your hips stacked above your knees, rather than sitting back toward your heels.
* Walk your hands forward and let your forehead or chin rest on the mat (choose whichever feels most comfortable).
* Allow your chest to lower gradually, stretching the muscles across your chest.
* Place a cushion or folded blanket under your forehead if your shoulders or back feel tight.
* let your elbows touch the floor if your shoulders are uncomfortable
* Breathe slowly and steadily, noticing the gentle stretch with each breath.

💛 Reminder:

Keep your elbows soft and shoulders relaxed, rather than rolling inward, to prevent tension in your neck and shoulders.

💛 Take a moment to check in with your body, how does your back feel today? Try settling into the pose and notice what shifts as you breathe.

Start your week with a pause for yourself, a moment to breathe, stretch, and reconnect with your body and mind ✨

Picture yourself moving gently, breathing deeply, and giving your body and mind the space to recharge.

🍂Tuesdays & Fridays – Gentle Hatha & Yin Yoga with Mayumi
🍂Thursdays & Saturdays – Move More Easily Yoga with Sam

All classes are beginner-friendly, so if you’re curious, this is your sign to try. 💛

✨ Sound & Stretch ✨
Step into a sanctuary where your only job is to relax.

Together with the incredible Human Stretch team, we’ve created an experience that blends gentle, guided stretch therapy with the soothing resonance of a crystal bowl sound bath - a pairing designed to release tension and restore balance.

💆‍♀️ Your body is supported through slow, restorative stretches.
🔔 Crystal tones ripple through every cell, quieting the mind.
🏡 All of this unfolds in serene Kyoto spaces - our studio or one of three elegant machiya townhouses (each with its own quiet charm).

Come solo for a deep reset, or bring a loved one to share the calm.
Sessions are available for 1–3 people, from ¥22,500 for 60 mins of stretch and sound bath.

📩 check the link in comments or message us to book your moment of luxurious rest.

Because sometimes the greatest gift you can give yourself… is slowing down.

Our Story

Classes for EVERY body. Classes to keep you well, mobile, balanced and enjoying life. Yoga, Pilates, Meditation, Japanese home-style cooking.

Classes you are comfortable in. Or comfortably uncomfortable in, as Sam likes to say. Taking yourself a little beyond your comfort zone, but always pain-free (or no new pain for those with existing pain) and safe for you.

Find space for you to relax, reconnect with your body and mind, and some other, like-minded people. Take time to stop to allow your mind and body to relax, reboot and reenergise, as stopping gives the brain and body time to repair, nourish itself and clear up any cellular waste.

The yoga comes from a Hatha base but includes bits of yin and restorative. All yoga and pilates classes are suitable for beginner - even pre-beginners - we would like the people who would love to try yoga but don’t think they can, to find out they can do yoga.
