A special relaxing moment...many Nanzan students enjoyed this moment with Asuka. I attended this event, yoga lesson and lecture, to do camera work. Surprisingly, even as a camera man I definitely enjoyed being in the gorgeous atmosphere. To start, we were provided with a little knowledge of yoga and went into a pleasant silence with a small amount of light. Within a fresh and attractive aroma of oil handmade by our special guest, everyone in the comfortable room was completely enchanted with the shared moment. Not only the silence in the room but also Asuka's gentle remarks during the meditation helped us to be deeply relaxed. Asuka's words helped me rethink my daily life and realizethat I was sometimes not in an ideal life. "Stresses could kill us..." very true... Every word from this woman, a woman who is very experienced and dynamic, sunk deep inside of me and I have promised myself that I will sometimes stop myself and take time to reflect on myself... for a better and best life.
