▶︎ What it was like on the day

On the day, participants ranged in age from their 20s to their 60s, and included people of all ages and genders!
More than half of the participants were alone, but even those who had never met before naturally started talking to each other, and the atmosphere was immediately warm and welcoming.

The lesson began with choosing your preferred mat design, and then we slowly adjusted our bodies.

The lesson was taught by

Sayuri is an instructor who actually traveled to India to study yoga and now teaches yoga and stretching to a wide range of ages, from 5-year-olds to people in their 90s.

Her natural and caring style was appealing, and she created an atmosphere where even beginners could participate with confidence.

We received comments such as, "I'm breathing deeper than usual," and "My body feels lighter and my mind is reset," and it was very pleasant to feel that relaxed atmosphere spreading throughout the space.

After the lesson, we spread out all 10 mats.
We also talked about the meaning behind each design and the story behind how 8ed Studio was founded.

The Canvas Stretch Mat is thicker than a typical yoga mat, so it is less likely to hurt your knees when you kneel on a concrete floor, and you won't feel cold when you lie down on it .

" It was so comfortable that I actually fell asleep."
"Non-slip, thick and warm"
"The more you use it, the more you'll love it."
"I've decided on a pattern, but when I see them in person, I want them all and can't decide."

We received many happy comments, such as:

We, the staff, also participated in the lessons,
It was a time when I was reminded of the importance of taking time to "get myself in order" in the midst of my busy daily life.
