NORIEYOGA

Hi, my name is Norie (She/Her), thanks for popping by to my website and take time to read about me. I am from Japan, I grew up in busy, hustle-and-bustle city, Tokyo.
 
I always enjoyed visiting local Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples for some peace and quiet moment. Although Tokyo is a very busy city, finding a little oasis, or hiking in mountains in Tokyo ( or near Tokyo) for forest bathing to reconnect our old traditions made me feel calm and peace inside.
 
I remember once I went to my local temple with a friend for paying respect to the temple in hot summer day, a monk in the temple saw us and invited us in to the"Hondo"( main temple) and showed us around, I felt like I was at home. The old statues and paintings there were amazing. Felt like I was reconnecting to my roots. Still this day, when I go back to Japan, I always visit old temples and Shinto shrines.
 
I love the seasons in Japan. Cherry blossoms in spring, light pink petals float away with wind, in autumn, colours on trees are very intense.
 
When I moved to U.K, I enjoyed weaving and adapting  my culture and western culture both way of living, mentally, and spiritually. Food I cook, yoga I practice, and share are "East-Meets-West" Norie style. 

Looking forward to practicing together!
