Yes. So this is Kayako Mitsumatsu. I'm based in Los Angeles, California, USA. I was born in Japan, in Tokyo, and I grew up there until I graduated from high school. I went to Australia for a year, and then I went to Brazil for, two and a half years, because of my father's business. And then, I became a documentary filmmaker for the Japanese National Public Television for 7 years, and I've been to London as a culture attache for the Japanese embassy. And then I moved to Los Angeles in early nineties, and I I've been I I have worked as a independent documentary television producer for Japanese public television for the for almost 25 years. And during that time, I started yoga, and that's the the rest is history.

Wow. So you've you've had a a a lived life even before you started in yoga.

Mhmm. Yeah. I have been fortunate. I've been many different places in the world and within Japan too.

So when you start what was the reason you began starting yoga?

Yoga gives back. Oh, yoga practice.

Yoga. Let's let's start at the the the the the crust of the, the moment. Like in 2007, you started yoga. Was there a reason you wanted to start yoga or was it just, you heard of the benefits of yoga? Because nowadays, we hear about how amazing yoga is. So

Yeah. That's a good question. I just love physical exercise always. So I actually did, Taekwondo here in Los Angeles, then I got black belt. So, like, I everything I do, I just focus. So my girlfriend just asked me to join her and to just take yoga class, and I you know, it wasn't that popular 15 years ago. But there were you know, I'm very fortunate. Los Angeles, there were so many great teachers, great studios, so I started going.
