Instructor: Shinobu Ogiura

As a young person Shinobu recalls a book where she read “There are two kinds of people: one who can visit India in their lifetime and one who can not.” Shinobu took this book and spent months in India, where she began asking the question of “who I am” or “what I am”. She still is on the quest to answer this question, and she continues to ask herself this everyday during her own personal yoga practice. She completed Yoga Haven’s 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2008. For over 10 years she has been studying yoga throughout the New York area, introducing herself to many styles and teachers. As a student, trainee and teacher at Yoga Haven she has been blessed to have amazing support from all the teachers, students and friends in this yoga community. With the introduction of this class on the schedule at Yoga Haven, she feels an honor to be able to be the first to teach other Japanese students the love she has for yoga.
