People change; thoughts change; feelings change; priorities change; life still goes on. We can either be miserable or motivate ourselves. Whatever has to be done, it is always our choice.
Happy Mother’s Day and hope you all had a relaxing Golden Week! May is such a beautiful month and it would be really wonderful to take the whole month off and spend time freely in nature or just enjoy being ourselves. May is also the month of Mental Health Awareness and it is really important to have conversations with family, friends, and our loved ones. Particularly, the last few years have been tough for all of us and it is no surprise that many people feel tired or even burn out sometimes. For some people, it may not be easy to reach out or share thoughts with others, then journaling or having a special date with ourselves is also highly recommended as part of self-therapy and self-love. What do you think?

5) 本＆雑貨コーナーＮｅｗｓ 今月おすすめの一冊は “I am here now” by The Mindfulness Project。 マインドフルネスに興味ある方におすすめです。この本の中にあるエクササイズはとても実践的で、Journalingをしている人にとっても、本の中に書かれている練習を参考にしながら、とてもヒントになります。リラックスできる楽しいアクティビティも満載です。Amazonでもわりと高い評価を得ているようです。ちなみに、大人のセルフケアセッションではこの本にあるエクササイズを使う予定です。
Greetings from the studio! How are you? April is a new start for many things in Japan, and it certainly marks a special milestone. It is kind of nice to have the “new year” feeling all over again and think of this time as an opportunity to revisit the goals we set at the start of the year. At the studio, we have two new teachers joining us in April, a warm welcome to new additions to the team and we will do our best to keep you encouraged, and motivated and continue to provide you with valuable and inspiring programs. With so much love,
Free your mind and color your time…. Always cheering for you, Ani’s Place

Spring is
just around the corner! It’s getting warmer everyday and I’m really looking
forward to the refreshing feeling in the spring. How about you? Do you have any
new plans that you want to do in the spring? As for me, the university’s new
semester will be starting soon so I’m preparing myself to be ready for meeting
new students. Oh yes, another 350~400 students in the new academic year,
feeling a bit nervous. It’s not easy to remember all of their names but it’s
really exciting to see many new and of course some familiar faces in April.
Please find the April schedule and information attached. We have changed the
schedule format a bit and hopefully it would be easier for you to check and
schedule your sessions with us. If you have any questions, please do feel free
to contact us. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Cheers, Anita

A big
hello from the studio! Hope you are all doing well. My German friends visited
Tokyo early this month and it was my pleasure to show them a bit of the Tokyo I
know and it was really nice to have lunch together and share each other’s life
stories. What I have found is that we all get caught in a funk sometimes, but
they are great opportunities to come back to our inner groove. We need to let
it go in order to have our inner peace. Not easy but necessary.
We have
some special programs coming up in March and April, if you are interested in
any of the followings, please let us know earlier and feel free to ask any
questions. See you soon!
Cheers,
Anita
