- How did you come to incorporate yoga into your life?
At first, I would often just say, "It feels good to do yoga," and never do it again. One day, when I wanted to learn more about the flow of energy for my acting studies, a friend invited me to try yoga. I went to a yoga class with a friend, and the moment when my breathing and body movements combined was a feeling I had never felt before. I thought, "What was that all about? That is how I became interested in yoga. I think it was also a big part of my enjoyment of feeling the circulation of energy and how I could use that energy in my performance.
- Have you noticed any changes in your body or mind since you started yoga?
I am now able to be conscious of my body in my daily life! . Even if it is only for 5 seconds, I can feel my body for a moment. Having learned to link my breathing with my body, I am now more conscious of my breathing in my daily activities.
- More and more people are incorporating yoga into their lives, what do you think are the reasons?
I myself am like that, but if I am not conscious of it, I tend to focus on external things, like my cell phone and so on. When I do notice it, my mind is often in a hurry. Yoga, on the other hand, is a time to stop and slowly feel and talk with your body, and I feel that the feeling of bringing yourself back to the place where you are fits the times we live in. I feel that this is a good fit for the current times.
- Are there any yoga events you would like to attend in the future?
I would like to go to an event where I can just concentrate on yoga in the great outdoors and in a place with no sound. . I would like to experience firsthand what kind of space that would be like.

. This is a traditional Tibetan incense for meditation that I learned about when a friend gave it to me. I burn the incense almost every day to bring awareness to my breathing."

I bought this tingsha at a store that sells traditional Tibetan goods. I played all the tingsha in the store and decided on the one that I felt comfortable with (laughs). (Laughs) I use it when I want to listen to the spreading sound and increase my awareness.
