About Ayano
Ayano is passionate about facilitating space for people to explore their inner wisdom and truth through embodied awareness. Her own story of such experience can be found PRYT's official website.
Ayano is a yoga therapist certified through International Association of Yoga Therapy (C-IAYT) and by Phoenix Rising School of Yoga Therapy (PRYT). She is also a yoga teacher trained through Kripalu and Phoenix Rising with experience of Yin Yoga. In 2020, Ayano has been certified as a practitioner of Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Ayano was born in Japan, grew up in multiple places in the world and currently lives in Manitou Springs, Colorado, right by majestic Pikes Peak. Through the practice of embodied awareness of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, yoga, meditation and rock climbing, she became fascinated by deeper wisdom and truths our bodies carry.
When your life is busy and overwhelming, it is hard to recognize what's actually happening inside of you: your body, mind and spirit. As you start reconnecting with yourself and begin to notice what's happening, you can start accepting any changes that you may encounter, allowing yourself to make necessary decisions based on your own "truth". Being aware of what's happening "now" is such an empowering experience, it let you connect to your deeper self, leads to a fuller life.
