Stretch Workshop Overview

Scenes from the day

Participants ranged from their 20s to 60s, with a diverse mix of ages and genders!
More than half attended alone, but even newcomers naturally struck up conversations, and the atmosphere quickly became warm and inviting 🌿😌

In the lesson, participants first chose their preferred mat design, and then gently worked on aligning their bodies.

The lesson was led by

Sayuri, an instructor who studied yoga in India and teaches yoga and stretching to a wide range of ages, from 5 to 90 years old.

Her natural and supportive style created an atmosphere where even beginners could feel at ease.

We received feedback such as, "My breathing was deeper than usual," and "My body felt lighter and my mind was reset," and the relaxed atmosphere that spread throughout the space was very comforting.

After the lesson, we displayed all 10 mat designs,
and talked about the meaning behind each design and the story of how 8ed Studio was founded.

Canvas Stretch Mats are thicker than typical yoga mats, making them comfortable even on concrete floors—kneeling doesn't hurt, and lying down doesn't feel cold.

"It was so comfortable, I almost fell asleep."
"It's non-slip, thick, and warm."
"The more I use it, the more I love it."
"I came with a specific pattern in mind, but seeing them all made me want them all, it was hard to choose."

We received a lot of wonderful feedback like these ✨

As staff members, participating in the lesson ourselves was a moment to reaffirm the importance of "time to reset oneself" amidst busy daily life.
