Miki

Born and raised in Okinawa, an uchinanchu (Okinawan). After university she worked in tourism, sharing what makes Okinawa special, but pushed herself too hard, lost her balance and had to take leave. That was when she met yoga. Moved by the teaching that caring for yourself is what fills those around you with love, she went deeper into yoga, and became an instructor wanting to pass that on. The word she holds to is santosha — contentment. Through yoga she conveys how much it matters to notice that you are already whole as you are, and to be grateful for the happiness in front of you. At Okinawa Beach Yoga she aims to give you an hour away from ordinary life, feeling the sea, the sky and the wind, letting body and mind open and returning to yourself.
