ABOUT
About Norie
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 and spiritually. Food I cook, yoga I practice, and share are "East-Meets-West" Norie style.
Looking forward to practicing together!
Welcome
Welcome to NORIEYOGA
I offer online yoga classes as well as in person classes. I offer; Mindful Hatha Flow, Slow Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Cancer, Gentle Chair Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.
I am based in Saxmundham, Suffolk. It is close to the coast and beautiful wonders of nature. I am so grateful for being in Suffolk and love the coast.
Nature heals us when we hurt, nature talks to us when we feel lonely, nature calms us when we feel chaos inside, to remind us to slow down.
YOGA ISN'T ABOUT ASANAS/POSTURES
YOGA IS MORE THAN ASANA
You don't need to be flexible or not able to do a "perfect" pose. Because there's no "perfect" pose/posture. All you need to do is to show up. Taking care of yourself, looking after yourself, then magic happens. Our body is ever-changing landscape, we move according to how our body feels, exploring, perhaps using yoga props; Props are very versatile equipments, they support our body to make a posture challenging. A bit like herbs and spices in cooking. And experience of you being on your mat, is more important than "creating a perfect posture". As Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.2 says " Yoga is calming the mind" Bringing peace into our mind and life, connecting with our Pure Consciousness.
UPDATE: I am currently away, classes are back on 21/01/Tuesday. No Wednesday class on 22/01. Chair yoga at Waterloo Centre is covered by Marcus " Mindful Movement"
