“WabiYoga is a self-management technique that focuses on the mind and body in a holistic way, eliminating waste in the body and mind, refining intuition, and enhancing perspective.
Wabi” refers to the spirit of wabi, which means “no waste, humility, and naturalness,” and “yoga” means “connecting” with your inner self, nature, the earth, and the universe.
WabiYoga was developed by extracting essences from the movements underlying Japanese ways such as Zen, budo, tea ceremony, and dance, as well as tai chi, runner’s martial arts, yoga, and other physical arts from around the world that I experienced while traveling.
As a solution to the challenges of the digital society, WabiYoga provides an opportunity to reset the fatigue of the brain and body, to develop a flexible body and mind to survive in the age of change, to experience comfort and a sense of being alive, to acquire spiritual beauty, and to manage one’s own wellness.
