Haruka has been teaching yoga since receiving her 200 hour certification in 2011. She has taught in various locations over the last seven years including Okinawa and Tokyo, Japan and San Antonio, Texas. She has taught a variety of students including military, spouses, Japanese locals, and civilians. Haruka's experience has taught her to cater to each person as an individual while still serving the whole class with an all level yoga class.

 

The style of yoga Haruka teaches is Vinyasa, which is syncing breath work with the movement of yoga poses. It focuses on the flow and rhythm of breathing deeply while stretching, balancing, and strengthening.

 

In the last two  years Haruka's focus has shifted towards teaching yoga to cater to women during their pregnancy & postpartum. Along with being a yoga instructor, Haruka is a mother to two boys, a natural birth educator, a postpartum doula, and am becoming a holistic health coach. Her passion is to educate, encourage, and empower women through a holistic lifestyle.
