In this edition of Yogis Uncovered, we sat down with Akane, a Japanese Mexican creative and yoga teacher based in LA. She shares how a blistering first hot yoga class ignited a 12-year practice, why she teaches for the mental reset, and how Muay Thai and mindful movement keep her grounded. We also touch on culture, joy-driven living, and life between Tokyo memories and California sunshine. Catch the full conversation in her interview!
