Instructor

Megumi Chaki

After completing yoga teacher training in South India,
she has been teaching beach yoga, temple yoga, and
studio classes in her hometown of Aichi for 10 years, and continues to study yoga, Indian philosophy and Buddhism.
Guided by karma, she moved to Zenbo Seineiin April 2022. Moved to Awaji Island.

Whenever I get tired, I can come back, reset, and start from here.
We welcome everyone who is working hard every day as a "place to come back to".

We invite you to experience "letting go of purpose, time to actively do nothing,"
and realize what you already have, rather than what you can gain.
We want you to spend your time here
valuing yourself above all others.
