I just completed another 100 hours of training with Tedd this Fall 2023: "Core Power" and "Yoga Oneness," also fulfilling the requirements to receive my 500 level teacher certification through Yoga Awareness (YAT300) and Yoga Alliance (RYS 500).

I have studied yoga with Tedd and Masumi since 2018, and they both teach with such excellence...

A sister science of yoga

I've felt drawn to Ayurveda for a quite awhile but until I began studying yoga with Tedd, I had been unsure of any training program.
I felt inspired to dive into the world of Ayurveda health with Yoga Awareness because of how clear and knowledgeable Tedd is as a teacher, and because of the demonstrable care and passion both he and Masumi have for their students' learning.
This...

Yoga Awareness grows with you.

Over the past year I have taken trainings for both Yoga and Ayurveda as well as regular weekly classes, and I have seen an enormous change in my health and my life.
I started the training just wanting to get a better understanding of how to practice yoga, and my work with Tedd and Masumi has become so much more than that. The things I have learned and started to practice with Yoga and...

【ヨガ ティーチャーYAT300&ヨガコアパワーYAT100トレーニングからの学び】

看護師とフィットネストレーナーとして活動する中で、Medical&Physicalを統合したアプローチの大切さを実感し、Diet / Body Makeだけではなく、心身のコンディショニングをより深める為、yogaの資格を取得しました。  

数多くの流派や場所がある中で、Yoga Awarenessに決めたのは、2014年頃から友人の誘いで数回Tedd先生のセミナーを日本で受けたことがあり、今まで体験していたyogaの感覚とは違う心地好さ、呼吸と動きで心と身体の調整がされていく…。不思議な感覚があったこともあり自分の目指すyogaが学べると感じたからです。
