A little bit more about me

Miné kawamura chambers - 河村美根

I am a bilingual (J/E) certified Yoga Instructor & Wellness Coach based in Japan, who is passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness.

I started practicing yoga in 2005 and became a certified yoga instructor in 2014. In 2016, I left my corporate job in Real Estate, to join lululemon and help them launch their Japan business. By joining lululemon I aligned my career with my passion - yoga, fitness, and self development.

In 2019, after I became pregnant with my first child, my priority shifted to prenatal/postnatal health. After a smooth pregnancy and postpartum, which I credit to yoga, I am even more passionate about sharing the practice of yoga, breath work, and mindfulness with other women to provide them with the tools for a smooth pregnancy. 

Now, I teach yoga at private residences, corporations, schools, and occasionally at events and local studios. I am also active in the Tokyo wellness community through my Brand & Community job at lululemon Japan spreading yoga and mindfulness, and as a yoga coach for COFIT connection fitness.
