“Wa -yo” is a Japanese word meaning Japanese and English. So when something is “wa- yo setchu” is it a fusion of East and West.
My name is Leanne and I am a yoga teacher in the West but part of my soul resides in the East – more specifically Japan. I teach a form of yoga known as Anusara and I am a Anusara Inspired teacher- which means I am still working my way up to full certification. ( It’s a long process….) I have been practicing for 6 years and teaching for almost 4. Yoga has been one of the funnest, richest, and most challenging experiences of my life…besides raising two children.
As well as teaching yoga, I am also a flight attendant. So I usually feel more like a “yo-yo” than “wa-yo” but you get the drift. I have a crazy life- but I love it. I hope you will enjoy traveling the world with me and doing yoga. Ikimashou! (Let’s go!)

Hello,
My name is Scott (52yrs) I just started an Anusara 200 hr Teacher Training in Chapel Hill North Carolina.
I found your site by Googleing “Anusara Themes” (Part of my homework!)
I am also somewhat connected to Japan in a way…I have a Japanese Zen Teacher…Eido Shimano
Enjoy your class!!!!
Cheers,
Scott
Thanks Scott! Stay in touch and let me knowing how your training goes.
