About The Instructor
How it Started
Hiromi Kiritani is a self-taught yoga instructor whose practice and teachings have earned high praise from Indian yoga masters and spiritual leaders, many of whom encouraged her to begin teaching yoga herself. Her journey began at the age of fifteen, during a music summer festival in the United States, where she participated as a violinist and first discovered the transformative potential of Hatha yoga. Alongside her musical career, which took her from New York to Boston, then the UK, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands, and now back in her hometown of Tokyo, she continued to deepen her yoga practice, blending her international experiences with her spiritual path.
Guided by profound spiritual experiences, Hiromi has cultivated a holistic approach to yoga that integrates physical practice with energy work and sacred rituals. She is a certified Reiki master and practices Qi Gong energy healing, weaving these modalities into her teachings to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. Her spiritual studies have been diverse and immersive, including Anthroposophy at the Goetheanum School of Spiritual Science, the Pathwork Lectures by Eva Pierrakos, Shingon Buddhism, and a 2011 pilgrimage to the 88 Shingon Buddhist temples across the Kanto region of Japan.
Hiromi’s personal lifestyle reflects her spiritual values. She has followed a vegetarian diet since 2012 and fully embraced a vegan lifestyle in 2020 as an expression of ahimsa, the principle of non-violence, and Bhakti yoga, cultivating compassion and devotion. Her teachings are rooted in these principles, inviting students to explore the inner self, awaken spiritual awareness, and embody harmony in every aspect of life.
Through her classes and guidance, Hiromi offers more than instruction — she offers a shared journey. With warmth and authenticity, she invites students to grow alongside her, expand awareness, and embrace transformation, discovering yoga as both a practice and a way of living in harmony with the deeper truth of existence.
