About Charity Park Yoga

Nami Yoga Studio will hold Charity Park Yoga with various NPOs during the fall and spring seasons! This time, we will be collaboarating with two ladies from Ukraine, Daria and Oksana and all the proceeds will be gifted to KRAIANY, an NPO and the largest Ukrainian community in Japan.

Beyond the practice of yoga, which is not limited to one's own physical and mental health, it is about "giving back" to those who have given to us and having a compassionate attitude toward others and society. This "giving back" can start with our family, friends, co-workers, living things, and our everyday surroundings! As a studio, we will be starting our activities together with you.

About Kraiany and the Two Ladies

We will conduct a Charity Park Yoga event for the war-torn Ukraine. During this session, we will have a "storytelling" time from two Ukrainian women, who have been supporting their homeland from Japan. 

Daria from Donetsk, Ukraine, who has been suffering from this war since 2014, will speak about what is currently happening in Ukraine, her past support and future activities. She has personally not only been collecting daily necessities and sending aid to Ukraine, but also providing assistance toward the Ukrainian refugees in Japan.

Oksana, who has been working as a translator and teacher will speak about the activity of KRAIANY, a non-profit organization and the largest Ukrainian community in Japan, especially about their Sunday school "Dzhereltse". She will also explain how donations they are collecting are used by the volunteers and NPOs in Ukraine.

All the proceeds from this event will be given to KRAIANY  (https://www.kraiany.org/ja/).
