Movement Instructor

Tom grew up in Japan, where structure, achievement, and external expectations shaped much of his early life. He became an architect — a career that taught him how to design beautiful, functional spaces. But for a long time, he wasn’t listening to the space within himself. In 2020, facing two major health challenges, he began a simple nightly stretching routine. That small act of care became the doorway to something bigger. He discovered yoga — not just as exercise, but as a way to rebuild the architecture of his own life from the inside out. In the winter of 2023, he traveled to India to deepen his studies and became a certified yoga teacher. Since then, he's been teaching yoga in senior housing communities and local classes in Portland, Oregon, while continuing his studies in Yoga Therapy. His teaching blends the clarity of his Japanese roots, the structure of design, and the quiet strength of healing. He draws inspiration from Kizuki — moments of inner realization — and aims to create space for others to experience their own. He believes healing isn’t a destination — it’s a relationship with yourself. And he is here to walk with you on that journey, one breath at a time.
