A little about the experience.
Every person comes to yoga for a different reason. Here are some words from people who have shared their practice with me.
ヨガを始めるきっかけは、人それぞれ。ここでは、私と一緒にヨガの時間を過ごしてくださった方々からいただいた言葉をご紹介します。
I joined Hazuki’s yoga classes twice a week during my three-month stay in Fukuoka, and it became one of the best parts of my time there.
Of course, I could feel my body gradually becoming more flexible, but what stayed with me the most was the atmosphere of the class. The space felt calm, warm, and welcoming. Hazuki has a very peaceful and trustworthy presence, and she made it easy to relax and simply be present.
Every class left me feeling lighter, both physically and mentally. It was not just exercise for me — it was a time to reconnect with myself.
I would definitely recommend her class to anyone who wants not only to move their body, but also to feel more grounded and peaceful.
Your class is always a balance between movements and relaxation. And the balance is alwas perfect to make my body feels recharged. The flow pace was also perfect, not too fast for a beginner, but not too slow for a regular yoga practitioner. I also love your adjustments during poses which help me build awareness of my body. I always find my savasana deeper after your classes which is AMAZING!
That’s why I love doing it on day-offs or weekends because afterwards I just wanna relax the whole day.
I enjoyed how clearly knowledgeable you were about yoga, and how you took into account your students and where we were at in our day, in our life. Your voice and pacing and hands on adjustments were all so excellent and encouraging and calming, not to mention the space you’ve cultivated. It was so special to be welcomed into someone’s home, and life, and share time and energy and get to know strangers and connect over this practice.
I felt really connected with myself after, since it’s really unique to take a class while traveling, in a brand new environment with strangers. You felt really attuned to us and it made it easy to drop into the practice I’ve come back to over and over throughout the years.
I’m so happy I prioritized my practice like this, and met new people, and learned from someone who clearly has a solid yoga foundation.
The yoga we shared in Fukuoka has stayed with me as such a peaceful and happy memory.
I’m also so grateful for how considerate you were of us as Korean visitors, taking the time to explain everything slowly in English. I still remember the time we spent chatting over tea after class, too.
Thanks to those memories, my boyfriend and I still talk about you from time to time and often say, “We want to go back again!”
I was staying in Fukuoka for some weeks. As I don’t speak Japanese, I was looking for a yoga studio with an English speaking teacher because everybody who experienced a Yoga class in a foreign language knows that it’s everything but no relaxation and no fun. I was lucky that I found Hazukis newly launched website and sent her an email. She invited me promptly to join her friends class the other day. From that on I went weekly and apart from wonderful stretches and easing of mind and body I unexpectedly also found a teacher who fit to me the best so far (I’m practicing Yoga for 10 years) and a friend. Her calm way of guiding through the practice, the support and corrections, the whole environment was really amazing. The Yoga Nidra & Sankalpa at the end of the practice helped me a lot to sort my spinning head and the chats with a hot tea after practice got longer every week. I really hope many people will find their way to Hazuki – as a single drop inn or longterm – it has been wonderful for me and I’m sure it will be for you as well. I wish I could take her and the classes back to my home.
わたしはいつも週末の朝に参加することがほとんどですが、葉月先生のクラスは、空間も先生の声もヨガのシークエンスもいつも心地よくて、お陰さまで、平日に疲弊した心を癒し、週末の朝を気持ち良くスタートさせていただいています
ヨガのクラスは割と合う合わないがあると思いますが、葉月先生のクラスは本当に自身の呼吸や感覚に集中することができて、最後のシャバーサナではいつも2回くらいは意識が飛んでしまいますw また、参加される他の生徒さんもとても優しくフレンドリーな方が多くて、人との繋がりが少なくなりがちは現代社会ですが、普段はお会いしないような方とご一緒してお話できるのも何だか心の癒しに繋がっている気がします。
ちなみに私は福岡に引っ越す前にヨガ教室を調べてて、お、Yoga space Fukuoka素敵!絶対行くと決めていました笑
私はヨガに心の平和の拠り所を求めているタイプですが、葉月先生のクラスは確実に私の心の支えの一部になっております。ありがとうごさいます。
玄関で『はじめまして』と出迎えていただいた時から、葉月さんの雰囲気やクラス前後のお話、そしてヨガの練習を通して《また来たい!》と思える温かい先生/空間です。
私自身ヨガのインストラクターで、自分の練習と勉強も兼ねて、休日の時に何度か参加していました!言葉選びから、参加されている方との交流、声かけ全て優しく、包み込んでくれるような包容力があって、毎度沢山吸収することがある大好きな先生です。クラス後のお茶時間も参加した人達と話せたり、先生と話せたり、まったり出来る大好きな時間です。ご自宅以外のイベントも時折あります!ヨガで誰かと繋がれる場を設けられているので、友達もそこで出来ると思いました。また日本語と英語でヨガを教えているという所にも最初は興味があり、ドキドキした気持ちとワクワクした気持ちで初日伺ったのを覚えています。海外の人は日本(福岡)で言葉の壁がなくヨガ出来るので、ぜひ参加してみてください!
子育て中の息抜きとして、なにか習い事を始めたいなと思って通い始めたHazuki先生のヨガ教室。子育て中はどうしても自分のことは後回しになってしまうので、Hazuki先生のレッスンは、自分の内面に向き合い、自分自身を大切にする時間を定期的に作れる良い機会となっています。 教室には、たくさんの植物が飾ってあり、レッスン中は心地の良い音を聞きながら、アロマやお香の香りに包まれて、リラックスできる空間でアーサナの練習をすることができます。先生の丁寧で落ち着く誘導の声や、心地の良い教室の雰囲気から、レッスンに来た人を想う温かい気持ちが伝わってきて、いつも癒されています。また、少人数制のクラスなので、初めての方でもあまり緊張することなく、リラックスしてヨガに集中することができると思います。
