Additional Information
I studied journalism at University, but after a few years working in an advertisement company, I finally embarked on the path of learning and practicing yoga due to my congenital disease. That is my barrier both in working and living, but during the process of healing myself, I gained not only skills and experiences, but also a deep understanding of pain, and the fear and anxiety when people experience that. In my past work as a yoga therapist, I also found beyond the simple presence or absence of disease, wellness is the optimal health for all people, which refers to varieties of dimensions in life. I have a passion for helping and caring for others, because it turns my past experiences into treasures.
