At Blingo English School in Jōtō-ku, Osaka, we love seeing our students grow—not just in English, but in life. One of our wonderful students, Shizuka-san, is the inspiring owner and teacher at Shakti Yoga Japan. Her yoga school in Osaka offers a calm, healing space where students can discover balance, mindfulness, and strength through yoga.
At Blingo Japan, we help students like Shizuka-san learn practical, natural English they can use in daily life and business. For Shizuka-san, learning English helps her connect with yoga students from around the world and share the philosophy of Shakti Yoga with an international audience.
“Yoga teaches balance and awareness. English gives us the words to share it.”— Marz, Blingo English School
What kind of yoga Shakti Yoga Japan teaches
At Shakti Yoga Japan, led by Shizuka Furutani (often “Shizuka-san”), the focus is on mindful, embodied practice that integrates posture (asana), breathwork (pranayama) and inner awareness. The studio offers classes for various levels — from beginners to those with more experience — and emphasizes balance, alignment and flow rather than purely athletic competition.
Teaching approach and philosophy
Shizuka-san emphasizes a safe, supportive space: students are encouraged to honor their own bodies, move at their own pace, and deepen awareness rather than force perfect poses.
The classes often weave breathing techniques with movement, helping practitioners build strength and calm.
According to her Instagram and studio info, she lectures on “alignment” and “body awareness” in her trainings. (For example: Alignment YOGA Training 50h in Shakti Yoga Studio). Instagram
The studio’s vibe: inclusive, welcoming, centered on growth—not just “get flexible” but “become aware”.
Why this matters & what you’ll get
Choosing Shakti Yoga Japan means you’ll:
Learn with an instructor who values mind‐body connection, not just physical challenge.
Have options whether you’re a newbie or already comfortable in yoga — the environment adapts to you.
Develop posture, breath-control, balance and calm — tools you can use in daily life, not just during class.
Be part of a class where the intention is clear: support growth and self–understanding, not show off.
Location & fit
Shakti Yoga Japan is based in Osaka, making it convenient if you’re in the Kansai / Osaka region. This local access means you can drop in regularly, build community, and keep a steady practice. Why English and Yoga Work So Well Together
Yoga is more than just exercise—it’s about focus, breath, and communication. When you practice English and yoga together, you strengthen both the mind and the body. At Blingo English School Osaka, we believe that learning English should feel natural, just like flowing through a yoga sequence. Our lessons use conversation, real-life examples, and personal interests to make English learning fun and effective.
Shizuka-san’s yoga philosophy—centered on co
mpassion, awareness, and self-understanding—matches our approach to language learning. We believe language grows best through curiosity, patience, and joy.
