Ashtanga Yoga / Show Us Your Yoga Wear — Hanako, Aug 2005 (JA)
Publication: Hanako (ハナコ) — 青山/ゆかた (Aoyama/Yukata) summer special edition; same recurring Hanako series as the June 2005 issue (J18) Issue: 2005/8 (August 2005) Article type: Two articles — (1) studio listing under 発汗デトックス section featuring a named non-Patrick instructor; (2) yoga fashion photo spread shot at YogaJayā Language: Japanese (confirmed) People named: キャメロン・ハリスさん (Cameron Harris) — featured instructor; Patrick NOT named in either article YogaJaya logo: Present (top right — standard placement)
Duplicate note: J26 (hanako/hanako_08_05.pdf, 2.2MB) contains the same two articles without the cover label page; J25 is the primary (4MB, cover + two article pages).
Article 1: アシュタンガヨガ
Section titled “Article 1: アシュタンガヨガ”Section heading: 発汗デトックス (Sweating Detox) Headline: アシュタンガヨガ Studio: ヨガジャヤ / YogaJayā / ☎03·5766·3414
Tagline (green banner): 充実のメニューはどれも予約いらず。 Translation: “The extensive menu — all classes require no reservation.”
Opening note (top right, small text beside exterior photo)
Section titled “Opening note (top right, small text beside exterior photo)”←昨年5月に、ビジョンネットワーク内に誕生。インストラクターは現在10名。
Translation: “Born within Vision Network last year in May. Currently 10 instructors.”
DATE NOTE — possible discrepancy: “Last year in May” from August 2005 = May 2004. This contradicts:
- Hanako June 2005 (J18): “半年ちょっと前” (just over half a year ago) → ~October–November 2004
- M Magazine October 2004 (J01): studio already open and receiving press
Possible interpretations: (a) Vision Network involvement/administrative setup began May 2004 while formal studio opening was October 2004; (b) a printing error in this caption; (c) “誕生” refers to a different milestone (e.g., lease, legal registration). The May 2004 reference is flagged here as unresolved; October–November 2004 remains the best-supported opening date across the full press archive.
10 instructors as of August 2005 — substantial growth; no earlier article gives a faculty count.
Featured instructor
Section titled “Featured instructor”●インストラクター キャメロン・ハリスさん

Body text
Section titled “Body text”Original:
アシュタンガ以外にも、ハタ、ヴィンヤーサ、シバナンダ、ほか各種スタイルが豊富。しかも朝7時から始まり、多い日には1日8クラスも用意されている大充実のスケジュール。どれも予約不要、好きな時間に好きなレッスンが受けられるという、気軽な感覚が何よりの魅力だ。緑に囲まれ心地よい風が通り抜けるスタジオは、まるで自然の中にいるかのよう。日曜日は場所を代々木公園に移し、野外ヨガも開催（雨天はスタジオで）。ほかにもイベントやワークショップなどを通じて、ヨガの魅力を発信している。
Translation:
“Beyond Ashtanga, there are abundant styles including Hatha, Vinyasa, Sivananda, and others. Classes start from 7am, with as many as 8 classes available in a single day — a very full schedule. All classes require no reservation, and the relaxed feeling of being able to take any lesson at any time you like is the greatest attraction. The studio, surrounded by greenery with a pleasant breeze flowing through, feels as if you are surrounded by nature. On Sundays, the location moves to Yoyogi Park for outdoor yoga (in the studio when raining). Through events and workshops and more, they spread the appeal of yoga.”

Article 2: 「自慣のヨガウェア見せてください」
Section titled “Article 2: 「自慣のヨガウェア見せてください」”Feature heading: おしゃれヨガスタジオでスナップ！ Headline: 「自慣のヨガウェア見せてください」 Translation: “Snaps at a Stylish Yoga Studio! ‘Show us your favorite yoga wear!’”
Location: @YogaJayā ●青山 Sub-head: 高機能＆ハイセンスなヨガウェアでそのまま街へ。 Translation: “High-function & high-sense yoga wear you can wear straight to the street.”
Intro:
「あのウェア、どこのかしら……」。レッスンでついつい気になる”隣の人のヨガウェア”。ヨガ大好き！ 気持ちよくヨガをしたい！ そんな熱いハートのヨギーたちには、当然ウェア選びにもこだわりがありました。
Translation: “I wonder where that outfit is from…” The yoga wear of the person next to you that you can’t help but notice in class. “I love yoga! I want to do yoga comfortably!” Such passionate yogis naturally had strong opinions about choosing their wear.
Students photographed (name, yoga history, brands, style, takeaway):
| Name | History | Key items | Style | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Yukako さん | Beginner | Lululemon (T&B) | Ashtanga, Hata | Met 3 people through yoga |
| Yasué さん | 4–5 years | Nike / Lululemon | Power Yoga | ”I’ve started to see what I should be doing” |
| 濱奈津代さん | 1 year 3 months | A.F. Vandevoort / Adidas | Hot Yoga, Ashtanga | ”I love the people I’ve met through yoga” |

- Toe ring: Bare-foot yoga accessory, chosen by mood
- Henna Tattoo: Decorative, worn with yoga clothes
Questions column (bottom right): The Hanako editors note that students answered five questions: yoga history, today’s outfit (T/B), favorite yoga wear shop, favorite style/pose, best thing about doing yoga.
Key details
Section titled “Key details”- Cameron Harris — first named non-Patrick instructor in the press archive: All prior articles either named Patrick specifically or featured him unnamed in photos. This is the first article where a different instructor is the named subject. Cameron Harris is Australian, trained in NZ and through IYC, meditation-focused and spiritual in approach — a distinct pedagogy from Patrick’s. By August 2005, YogaJaya is presenting itself through multiple instructor voices
- Patrick absent from both articles: Neither the studio listing nor the fashion spread names or photographs Patrick. The studio brand is carrying independently of Patrick’s personal presence — a notable shift from the January–June 2005 coverage where Patrick was the consistent face
- “昨年5月” (last year in May) opening date: See note above — flagged as unresolved discrepancy. Best-supported opening remains October–November 2004
- 10 instructors: First faculty count in the press archive; by August 2005, the team had grown substantially from the early “various styles, various instructors” framing of January 2005
- Sunday outdoor yoga at Yoyogi Park: First press mention of outdoor practice outside the studio. Yoyogi Park is Tokyo’s most prominent outdoor public space for recreation — this extends YogaJaya’s presence into the public sphere and signals a community-outreach dimension beyond the studio
- “どれも予約不要” (all classes require no reservation): The no-reservation policy is prominently featured in the tagline — positioned as a key differentiator. No other article to this point foregrounds this operationally
- No rental mat: First explicit confirmation that students must bring their own mat
- Class hours 7:00–22:00: Long operating window; “多い日には1日8クラス” (up to 8 classes per day) — by August 2005 the program density is considerably higher than the single-class/day format implied in early 2005 coverage
- YogaJayā original T-shirt (branded merchandise): Weny is wearing “YogaJayā original T-shirt” and it’s referenced with a cross-page pointer (→P.25), suggesting a feature or advertisement for YogaJaya products elsewhere in this issue. Branded merchandise confirmed by August 2005
- “→P.25” reference: Points to additional YogaJaya content in the same Hanako August 2005 issue — likely a separate listing or ad not captured in the NAS press archive
- Suzuki Wakako — 10 months yoga history: Published August 2005, 10 months back = ~October 2004 — aligns precisely with the studio opening, making her likely a very early student
Relevance notes
Section titled “Relevance notes”- August 2005 — the press presence continues post the dense June 2005 cluster; by this point the studio is being covered through its instructor community, not just through Patrick
- The Cameron Harris profile signals that YogaJaya had built a diverse faculty with distinct personal backgrounds; the meditation/spiritual dimension of Harris’s approach complements Patrick’s more physically integrated framing
- The fashion spread is the first article to document YogaJaya’s student community as a social body — it names specific participants, shows branded merchandise, and frames the studio as a community social hub, not just a class venue
- The Yoyogi Park outdoor yoga is significant for Baseworks context: the community practice outdoors in public space has continuity with Baseworks’ emphasis on integration of practice and environment
- The no-reservation policy, early morning schedule, and outdoor practice together paint a picture of an accessible, operationally open studio in August 2005 — not a boutique appointment-only model
Press page relevance
Section titled “Press page relevance”yogajaya-history·scene-context·press-page-lineage- Tier 2 (strong supporting): Two-article Hanako feature documenting YogaJaya through a named non-Patrick instructor for the first time; Yoyogi Park outdoor yoga first mention; 10-instructor faculty count; no-reservation policy foregrounded; branded merchandise documented; student community shown as a named social group. Patrick’s absence makes this a useful record of the studio’s public brand identity operating independently of its director
- Not Tier 1 — no new philosophical or biographical depth; Patrick absent
Connections
Section titled “Connections”- J18-hanako-2005-06 — same Hanako series, two months earlier; the June issue features Patrick prominently as the studio face; August shifts to Cameron Harris
- J16-biteki-2005-06 — June 2005; pricing comparison: Biteki lists member enrollment + class passes; this article lists non-member rates and duration range (90–120 min)
- J01-m-magazine-2004-10 — M Magazine Oct 2004; earliest press article; “昨年5月” claim vs. M Magazine’s October 2004 coverage is the key timeline discrepancy
- J23-spa-asia-2005-07 — same month (Jul/Aug 2005); Spa Asia gives David Swenson October 2005 workshop schedule; this article shows the studio’s day-to-day operational picture in the same period
- Index: press-archive-index (J25)
- Chronology: yogajaya-press-chronology — 2005 section
