Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st batch (Mr. S.K)

Double breath, loving-kindness meditation, chair yoga, partner yoga, sun salutation, etc. are all useful not only for pregnant women, but also for those who do not exercise regularly and seniors, so I was grateful that I could immediately use them in my regular yoga class.

Hatha yoga is like this, this style of yoga is like this, and I was stubborn, but Kitty's words melted me away and allowed me to choose comfort instead of trying too hard.

It was also good that I received wonderful and easy-to-understand knowledge such as physiological knowledge and contraindications of pregnancy.

But more than that, I was deeply moved by the true beauty of Kitty-sensei's experience in teaching yoga and snuggling.

And the experiences and attitudes of the highly conscious people in sync were also very stimulating.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (Akiko Tsuru)　　

I reaffirmed the value of life. Being alive is a miracle.

I knew how to use yoga blocks and bolsters, and since many of my current classes are elderly with stiff hips and bad knees, I decided to use yoga blocks.

I was always trying to be close to people, but I really want to be close to them. That's what I learned.

The meditation and image training teacher's guidance was wonderful, and I was surprised at how easily I could enter into that deep worldview.

I have been a yoga instructor for about 6 years. I noticed that I was pressed for time in my daily lessons, so I decided to be aware of my mind even in the limited time, and to secure time for breathing exercises and meditation.

Aim for a therapeutic ego by studying at the Yoga Therapy Society. It is said, let's be a person who can be healed just by being by that person's side.

I felt that Miss Kitty was exactly that.

I would like to carefully nurture the seeds that my teacher sowed, and create a community that embraces people with kindness.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (Mr. Shuju Higuchi)

It made me think again about "cuddling up", not only in maternity and yoga.

Thank you very much for the three days. In these three days, I was able to look back on my starting point as an instructor, as a parent, as a human being, and many other things that made me think. It was a day where I could think about how I could make use of it for myself in the future, and how I could repay the kindness of those who had caused me trouble.

Continuing from maternity, I would like to learn restorative and hidden yoga in addition to postpartum yoga and kids yoga.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (Kumiko Kobe)

I learned about the changes in the mind and body during pregnancy, and learned safe and effective breathing techniques and poses. In addition, I learned that this method can be applied not only to pregnant women, but also to seniors and those who need a deeper relaxation, as a place to deepen interaction with people.

I learned that it is important to deepen the bond between the pregnant woman and the baby in her womb, to choose a comfortable place for herself, and to relax both physically and mentally through breathing.

In this course, I was healed in a deep place, and it was also time to face it. If I were a pregnant woman, I would love to take Kitty's warm and kind class every week. I also want to create a place where pregnant women and other participants can feel close to their hearts.

I also want to try loving-kindness meditation. I also want to deepen my pelvic floor muscle exercises and breathing.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st batch (Mr. Y.U)

By actually experiencing my belly growing, I got a little closer to the feelings of a pregnant woman.

Not only pregnant women, but also those who have various diseases, pains, and malfunctions.

It gave me an opportunity to think about how I can make the lessons more comfortable and how I can create lessons that make me want to participate again.

Kitty's knowledge, as well as her tolerance, were wonderful!

As a woman, as a mother, as a leader...

Respect to you.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again ♡

After this training, I also became interested in restorative yoga and baby massage.

If you have the chance, please do!

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (KiwaMr. Miss)

I was able to learn that it would be wonderful if pregnant women could have the opportunity to know and experience yoga in a relaxed way that leads to the joy of childbirth, while creating a space in their hearts with love.
I am truly grateful that I was able to learn even a little bit of Kitty's wisdom. I was able to learn what I should cherish in my life. I'm really thankful to you

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (Mr. K.N)

In this course, I found out that there are a lot of wonderful work that mothers work towards their babies with their hearts. Also, I think it's a comfortable learning experience to take care of yourself and treat yourself with self-love, while healing and relaxing your mind and body.

I felt that it was a yoga that made me feel full of happiness by thinking about myself, other pregnant women, and babies.

Looking at each person who came to the lecture, I could feel the feeling of being wrapped up. The feeling is refreshing, warm and comfortable...!

I thought the choice of words was very nice.

It wasn't greedy...it was slowly seeping into my heart.

I wanted to get closer.

I think kitty's own personality is oozing out.

It was a very nice course.

I'm really thankful to you.

I am grateful to have met you.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st class (R.K.)Mr. Miss)

heart...love from the heart.
true self within me.
From the difficulty of pregnant women, what kind of pose can you do even if your stomach is big?
What kind of words should I say, what kind of approach should I take, and how can I receive it with peace of mind?
Thank you very much, Miss Kitty.
Since then, the way I look at and treat each person has changed.
Would you say that you've become kinder...
Words can't explain it well, but...
My self-confidence feels lighter now.
In the yoga lesson, the tone of voice and the way of speaking are self-confident and strange.
I'm really thankful to you.
Also, I want to receive training.

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (A.T.)Mr. Miss)

It means that there are things that only women can do.
During the period until I gave birth to the life that was conceived by chance, I was taught many techniques that could help me.
Thank you for the wonderful time!
I was able to connect with everyone around me, and I gained confidence that there are still things I can do! I'm really thankful to you!
I will continue to do my best!

Luna Yoga Academy Maternity Instructor Training 1st Class (T.N)Mr. Miss)

During the training course, I was studying, but it was very relaxing. And I felt like I understood the feeling that my own heart was calm. By spending time in that state of mind, I also felt the impact on my surroundings. It is important to increase your knowledge, but it is also very important to prepare your own mind.As an instructor, I learned that not only do I teach yoga knowledge, but also my feelings of closeness and compassion, and the state of my own energy can be conveyed to others.

Thank you very much for your time during the training course. It's been a long time since I've had a wonderful influence in my life. I am really happy to have met Kitty-sensei, and I am also grateful to Yamano-sensei and Junko-sensei for preparing the course.

Also, if there is an opportunity for kitty-sensei to come to Fukuoka, I would definitely like to study with her.
