Makiko Kambayashi

She completed 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, 20-hour Restorative Yoga Training, as well as 50-hour Yin Yoga Immersion & Teacher Training. Her specialties include Gentle Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Yoga for beginners. She started practicing yoga in 2000 and since then, yoga has been an integral part of Makiko’s life, allowing her to stay centered and overcome many challenges in her life both personally and professionally. Her personal experience with scoliosis has made her keenly aware of the importance of honoring one’s body. In her classes, she takes the time to understand the unique condition of each student and help them to modify their poses to achieve maximum benefit. She sincerely hopes to share with the community the many benefits of yoga through her teaching. She is also interested in making yoga accessible to all, in particular, those with physical limitations, and hopes to help her students incorporate yoga in their daily lives as an opportunity for stress reduction and self-care. Outside of her classes, Makiko is a fundraising consultant, and enjoys spending time with her family in Fremont, California.
