Takako Willden

As a mother of five, Takako started her yoga practice in 2008 when her youngest was old enough to attend school. She loved it so much that she completed the 200-hour teacher training with Meg and Ali at YogaOne Studio in 2017. She earned the additional 300-hour teacher training certification with therapeutic concentration from Tias and Surya Little of Prajna Yoga in 2022. She also has SATYA (Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) certification from Tias, and Relax and Renew® Restorative Yoga certification from Judith Hanson Lasater. She guides students to sense and settle into their bodies through a slower yet powerful practice and connect their minds to Yoga Sutra 1.2: “Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.”
