BILINGUAL YOGA
BY HIKARU

Hikaru was born in Japan and is a native speaker of Japanese. She has been practicing yoga since 2008 and after years of studying yoga, she found Iyengar yoga. Iyengar yoga has changed her very inspiration for life and Hikaru had developed a deeper connection to yoga ever since then. She has been under the mentor of Lisa Walford and has had the opportunity to study twice with BKS Iyengar’s daughter, Geeta, in Pune, India. At the moment she is also receiving meditation training from Bhikkkhu Dhammaananda.
Grateful for her fortune to have learned from such outstanding teachers, she had eventually developed the aspiration to teach. Hikaru hopes to spread their teachings and knowledge as well as her own to future students.
