I have gone to several classes run by both Haruna Asakawa and James Uriu and I have found the classes to be reflective, healing, and energizing. This is now my favorite yoga system because it focuses on gradual growth and stretching, meditation, breath, and working with your body to improve health and flexibility - not overworking like in so many other yoga systems. This isn't the typical "cardio-workout" yoga with so many "downward dogs," Haruna and James both use original sanskrit to name the poses and each exercise is a natural progression of the last one. It gives me the moment to slow the world down and become more in-tune with myself. I highly recommend the Original Yoga System and Haruna and James as thoughtful and patient instructors!

Haruna is an amazing yoga trainer! Even if you never tried yoga before, she will make you feel like making yoga a part of your daily schedule! Yoga helps you relax and refresh your mind, and Haruna shares the best kind (Original Yoga System). Whether you are a stressed student or just looking to find some peace and mental clarity in your daily life, the best decision you can make is to learn some ancient yoga techniques to breathe out all of your worries. It definitely helped me get through the stress of Medical School so I am very lucky to have found yoga through Haruna!! She is also a kind and gentle person who will listen to everything you have to say without judgment and her knowledge of psychology makes her a great person to confide in or get advice from. It is truly therapeutic for both the body and the mind. Overall, you will learn how to connect with the present moment and to find balance in every day of your life. You can achieve anything if you can access your mind's hidden potentials, and Original Yoga System helps you do this and so much more!! My life has changed in all the best ways thanks to yoga, beyond anything I had ever imagined. Yours can too, with The Original Yoga System (taught by Haruna!!!) :)

I have enjoyed so many benefits from the last 2 years of taking Yoga Academy classes. I never imagined how healthy and strong in body, mind, and spirit I am now.
