Atsuko was born and brought up in Japan. She studied yoga extensively in London in 1990's. Her teachers include John Scott, Godfrey Devereux, Kisen and David Swenson.
She mainly studied Ashtanga yoga and Iyenger yoga, but she also studied with other teachers with different backgrounds.
She started teaching in 1995 in London in health clubs and adult education. She moved to Bideford, North Devon in 1996 and began teaching in many settings and to private students.
Her lessons are broadly based on the Ashtanga yoga format but they combine different Hatha yoga styles. Their emphases are on correct alignments, correct breathing and breath/movement coordination leading to deep relaxation. They are suitable for any age and ability.
Atsuko also runs Ashtanga yoga workshops, curerntly twice a month at Alwington Village Hall, Fairy Cross near Bideford.
