In 2000, at the age of 20, through a sudden transformation of consciousness, he awakened to breathing exercises and
meditation, and strongly recognized the importance of breathing exercises.
His perception of the world changed drastically, and his way of being and living itself changed fundamentally. Since then, she has made yoga and breathing techniques her life's work, and has been studying and teaching yoga in earnest since 2005. In 2005, she began to study and teach yoga in earnest, systematically learning yoga and breathing techniques at Kaivalyadharma, a yoga school in India.

In 2000, at the age of 20, I experienced a sudden shift in consciousness that awakened me to breathing techniques and
meditation, leading me to deeply recognize the importance of breathing.
My previous perception of the world changed completely, and my very way of being and living transformed from the ground up.
Since then, I have dedicated my life’s work to yoga and breathing techniques.
In 2005, I began studying and teaching yoga in earnest.
I systematically mastered yoga and breathing techniques at the yoga school Kaivalyadhama in India.
In 2013, I launched Union Yoga Japan and began my activities. In 2019, I moved to Awaji Island,
and founded Awaji Sun Ashram as a place to study yoga and discover my true self.
To advocate for a better way of life, I immerse myself in nature and teach yoga and breathing techniques.
With the goal of helping everyone breathe correctly and lead healthier lives, I conduct breathing classes at elementary schools and universities.
My wish is for everyone to breathe comfortably, fully enjoy the benefits of breathing, and lead healthy lives.
I believe that if each person’s breathing changes, a sense of comfort and ease will spread, ultimately leading the world to change for the better.
