About Yuri

Yuri was born in Tokyo, Japan, enjoying body boarding every weekend as her stress relief.

Arriving in Australia in 1996 Yuri worked as a dental hygienist, before moving to Cairns in 2012.

Yuri has always been interested in a healthy lifestyle, and started practising yoga in 2013. Yuri noticed how yoga was a very effective method to keep the entire body healthy. So in 2014 she took her first teacher training course. Yuri continues to learn for both personal growth and teaching.

Yuri believes yoga is not only about flexibility, but also union. Yoga teaches us to use breathing to connect our body and mind to discover ourselves. It is Yuri’s strong belief that yoga is for everyone, and is optimal for both mind and body health. Yuri is excited to share her experience and great knowledge from ancient times.

When she’s not teaching yoga Yuri likes to spend time in nature. She is extremely grateful to live in tropical FNQ.
