Tucked away in a quiet alley just a 2-minute walk from the bustling Sangenjaya Station in Tokyo, Aruima Yoga offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere for yoga practitioners for all walks of life to come together.

The studio has a casual, no-nonsense neighborly feel to it. Classes are conducted in small groups so practitioners can benefit from personal attention from the teachers, as well as the space to explore yoga at their own pace and according to their own abilities. The wide windows offering a view of the sky contribute to creating an open environment where exploration is welcome, and the walnut hardwood flooring enhances the warm and relaxing vibe by adding an earthy element to ground on – you’re home now.

Wide views of the sky and walnut hardwood flooring enhance the cozy atmosphere of the studio.
