About Yuko     

My journey to wellness began in 2003 when I first encountered Hatha yoga in Spain. 

I moved to Canada, worked in a high-tech company for 10 years.

I worked for long hours sitting stationary at a desk in the modern corporate world. 

My work had a yoga instructor come in once a week, and was conviniently located very close to a yoga studio. I continued regular yoga practice.  

I loved it so much that I even took a Yoga Teacher Training at Astanga Yoga Ottawa without any intention to teach.

However, during my career I realized I needed to move more, people need to move more.

Did you know sitting for long hours is actually shortening our healthy life span?

So after I got certified I started teaching to my colleagues and to my friends.

As I taught it became more apparent that regular exercize is super important.

In order to keep the regular exercize it's so helpful and encouraging to be guided by someone.

That's when I decided to become a full time yoga instructor.

​

I learned Tai Chi a little later and got more curious about how we can move our body and train our mind through moderate and meditational movement.

I am also deepening my understanding on  physical and other aspect of aging.

It is so fascinating to learn about body-mind-soul connection and longevity.

​

In my class I share bite size philosophy, mentality, and physical practices that will help us live a long healthy life.
