There’s a quiet comfort in moving alone—
stretching, breathing, returning to your own rhythm.
For many, yoga is a way to settle,
to listen inward, and to expand our awareness within our own bodies.
With mindfulness and gratitude,
we embrace the shape of our physical being—
its challenges and its joys.
But what if that same gentle attention
could reach beyond the self?
What if the way we notice our breath,
our limits, our weight—
could also become a way of sensing,
and just a little, understanding another person?
We each carry rich inner experiences—
moments of struggle, moments of jubilation.
By imagining and empathizing with the person beside us,
we begin to become mindful of their experience, too.
Just like a simple game becomes something more when someone joins,
or moving freely to music shifts
when your gaze meets another’s and you move as one—
this happens without words.
Just presence.
Just timing.
Just shared space.
There is no pressure to join in any exercise before you’re ready.
You can begin simply by being alongside others,
in a space where touch is optional but welcomed,
and always gentle.
In daily life, we carry many quiet burdens.
But in these small moments of shared movement,
a different feeling can quietly return—
a gentle ease,
a breath matched,
a weight received.
Something soft and light,
a gentle contrast to the usual heaviness of daily life.
Sasae-au Yoga begins here.
Not with performance or poses,
but with a gentle invitation:
to notice,
to support,
to be supported.
We start slowly.
Side by side.
And from there,
something new begins to unfold.
