Maiko YOGA
ABOUT
Thank you for visiting my website.
I am happy to speak out about myself honestly. I was born and raised in Japan and somehow I was always interested in knowing the "truth" of what was going on in the world, especially how those children could survive under such serious conditions like wars, HIV/AIDS and poverty. I hardly believed what medias told us, so I always wished to go to the third countries to find out the truth by seeing through my eyes, talking to those children in person to hear their true voice.
​
After being patient for the chance to come to me, graduating from High School, I left for the States to go to the college. But my passion with young energy did not stop me anything. I took a year break from the college and at the age of 19 I left for Vietnam to follow my dream.
​
That unthinkable reality shocked me and changed my life perspective completely when I could get a chance to see the real poverty there.
I suffered and struggled a lot as I thought myself was so helpless, also I was disappointed and felt pain to see the society of 2 sides, the rich and the poor which same human beings have created.
​
During that time, what helped me was the practice of YOGA based on its ancient philosophy. I carried inner conflicts with what I was seeing in the reality and what I wanted and what I could. I tried to focus on the deep breathings to listen to my inner voice from my body, mind and spirit to let my mind attachments go and accept the facts, just following the comfortable flow and bring back to the true self "who I am".
​
It has been about 2 decades since I started practicing Yoga and I am honored to share the methods of its practice with many people in many different countries, especially those who have faced difficulties like cancer, HIV/AIDS issues, sexual abuse, mental problems, relationship conflicts etc.... We all have opportunities to learn the positive ways of living and being the true self who we are.
​
I am always ready to share my unique personal experience and the spiritual energy, which brings lots of joy to me( :
I hope to see you soon in person and for sure I will also learn a lot from you, too!
Om Om Om and Shanti.....
