Gentle maternity yoga that eases the “language worries” of expecting mothers living in Japan
For many international moms-to-be, pregnancy in Japan can feel exciting—but also a little overwhelming.
Some may wonder:
- “Will I understand everything in a Japanese-only class?”
- “I want clear explanations in English so I can move safely for my baby.”
At éclat STUDIO, we offer private maternity yoga sessions with English support, so you can practice comfortably and confidently—without worrying about language barriers.
Even if you’re new to yoga or not used to exercising, we guide you at a slow, comfortable pace.
Why Many Expecting Mothers Choose éclat STUDIO
① Clear guidance in English from a specialized instructor
Your instructor explains each posture and movement carefully in English (or Japanese if you prefer).
Understanding the instructions in your own language helps reduce anxiety and allows you to fully relax during your session.
② Safe and gentle movements tailored to your pregnancy stage
All sessions are customized according to your week of pregnancy and how you feel on the day.
We avoid intense movements and focus instead on gentle breathing, ease of movement, and comfortable posture work.
③ A completely private and calming space
In our private room, there is no need to compare yourself with others.
You can ask questions anytime and move at your own pace.
If you’re feeling tired or have areas of tension, we adjust the session immediately.
What to Expect in Your First Session
STEP 1: Consultation
We start by discussing your pregnancy week, physical condition, and any concerns—in English.
If there are movements you want to avoid, you can let us know at any time.
STEP 2: Gentle maternity-focused session
We guide you through:
- Relaxing and steady breathing
- Soft movements to ease areas that tend to become tight
- Light posture work to help you feel more aligned
All at a pace that feels comfortable for your body.
STEP 3: After-session advice
We share simple posture tips and gentle movements you can safely try at home, supporting you both inside and outside the studio.

Instructor Introduction
English Yoga Instructor – Hana
Message from Hana
There was a time when I struggled with stiffness and had no exercise habits.
Through yoga, I gradually felt my body change—and my mindset became more positive as well.
I experienced firsthand how improving posture can shift daily comfort and even emotional wellbeing.
This inspired me to become an instructor and share this sense of ease with others.
In my sessions, I value moving gently, safely, and without pushing beyond your limits.
I would be honored to support you during this special period and guide you through a calm, comfortable practice.
Please feel free to relax and leave everything to me.
