Kelly’s testimonial
Section titled “Kelly’s testimonial”「ヨガを始めてから精神的にすごく落ち着いて、無理なダイエットをしなくても自然と体にいいものを食べるようになってきました。この場が人る教室はとても気持ちよくて先生もみんなフレンドリー。早朝のクラスでヨガをしてから仕事に行ったりしています」
Translation:
“Since I started yoga, I’ve become mentally very calm, and without forcing a diet I’ve naturally started eating things that are good for my body. The atmosphere of this classroom is very comfortable and the teachers are all friendly. I go to yoga in the early morning classes and then head to work.”

DATA box
Section titled “DATA box”難しいという場所所柄、先生も生徒も国際色豊かな。‘05年11月に代官山/恵比寿スタジオがオープン。初回体験クラスは¥1,500 住東京都渋谷区神宮前5-47-6 ☎03-5766-3414 レッスンどの詳細はhttp://www.yogajaya.com/にて。
Translation:
“Because of its unique character, both teachers and students are internationally diverse. In November ‘05, the Daikanyama/Ebisu studio opened. First experience class ¥1,500. Address: 東京都渋谷区神宮前5-47-6 ☎03-5766-3414. Details at http://www.yogajaya.com/“
Photography
Section titled “Photography”Large editorial photo (right half of page, full-height): Kelly (short hair, smiling, orange/coral fitted top, white pants) in a seated/kneeling pose — fashion-styled, not a strictly practice shot. Patrick is visible in the background, smiling, shaved head, tattoos on arms and chest, wearing a light grey/white t-shirt. This is a fashion editorial aesthetic — Patrick as backdrop rather than subject.
Three smaller photos (left side, stacked vertically): Kelly and Patrick practicing together in the studio — paired practice shots showing poses done side by side. These are the only photographs in the 2006 press archive showing Patrick physically paired with a student in a teaching/co-practice context.
Key details
Section titled “Key details””ディレクター兼先生” — informal combined title
Section titled “”ディレクター兼先生” — informal combined title”The photo caption labels Patrick as ディレクター兼先生 — “Director/Teacher.” This uses the 兼 (ken) conjunction, as in Sotokoto’s “ディレクター兼チーフインストラクター” (J45), but replaces “チーフインストラクター” with the informal “先生.” The editorial choice reflects Oggi’s accessible, student-friendly framing — “teacher” is more relatable to a non-specialist reader than “chief instructor.”
Title variants using 兼 to this point in the archive:
- J45 Sotokoto (Feb 2006): ディレクター兼チーフインストラクター
- J48 Oggi (Feb 2006): ディレクター兼先生
Student testimonial — yoga’s effect on eating and mind
Section titled “Student testimonial — yoga’s effect on eating and mind”Kelly’s quote documents three effects of yoga practice from a student’s perspective:
- Mental calm — “精神的にすごく落ち着いて” (became mentally very calm)
- Natural diet shift — “無理なダイエットをしなくても自然と体にいいものを食べるようになってきました” (without forcing a diet, naturally started eating what’s good for the body)
- Before-work practice — “早朝のクラスでヨガをしてから仕事に行ったりしています” (early morning yoga before work)
The diet-shift observation — yoga changing eating behavior naturally without forced restriction — is a student-voice articulation consistent with YogaJaya’s broader LOHAS/lifestyle positioning (Sotokoto J06, MISS J36). It is the most explicit statement of yoga affecting lifestyle beyond the body in any student testimonial in the press archive.
”続けていくうちに体がやわらかくなって” — progressive flexibility
Section titled “”続けていくうちに体がやわらかくなって” — progressive flexibility”The photo caption captures Kelly’s experience of progressive physical development: “As I continued, my body became flexible.” This is a simple but direct statement about the temporal dimension of practice — the studio offers progression, not just drop-in classes. The phrase “レベルに合ったレッスンが受けられるから安心” (reassuring because you can receive lessons suited to your level) echoes the leveled class structure visible in Spur (J47): Gentle Hatha / Ashtanga 1 / Hatha 2.
”先生もみんなフレンドリー” — faculty as community
Section titled “”先生もみんなフレンドリー” — faculty as community”Kelly’s plural “teachers are all friendly” confirms the multi-instructor experience from a student’s perspective. By February 2006, YogaJaya had documented instructors: Patrick, Cameron Harris, Iva Ortina-Hall, Hikaru Brundtland — and Kelly’s plural implies the friendly atmosphere extended across the faculty.
Kelly — Oggi model, two-year student
Section titled “Kelly — Oggi model, two-year student”Kelly is identified in Oggi’s credits as one of the five models in the feature spread. She is not identified as a yoga instructor or public figure beyond her modeling work. The two-year attendance claim (since approximately early 2004) makes her an early student, predating most of the press archive coverage. This is the first model-student feature in Oggi — the magazine’s fashion readership receives YogaJaya through a relatable fashion peer.
Oggi context — upmarket professional women’s audience
Section titled “Oggi context — upmarket professional women’s audience”Oggi targets professional working women — the “OL” (office lady) demographic and beyond. The before-work yoga framing (“早朝のクラスでヨガをしてから仕事に行ったりしています”) is precisely calibrated to this readership. The fitness feature format (“beauty spot”) positions yoga alongside capoeira, belly dance, and kickboxing as beauty-through-exercise options — a different context from LOHAS magazines (Sotokoto, Ecocolo) or yoga specialist coverage, but consistent with YogaJaya’s positioning across multiple lifestyle demographics.
Relevance notes
Section titled “Relevance notes”- February 2006 — same month as Sotokoto (J45); the two articles show the full range of how YogaJaya was being represented: Sotokoto (Patrick’s philosophy, LOHAS authority) vs. Oggi (accessible student experience, beauty context)
- Kelly’s two-year attendance makes her one of the earliest documented long-term students in the press archive
- The student-voice testimonial format is rare in the archive — most articles feature instructor voices (Patrick, Hikaru, Iva, Cameron); Kelly provides the student perspective directly
- Patrick’s background role in the large photo (visible but not dominant) contrasts with the solo/teaching photographs in Tattoo Tribal, Sotokoto, and Spur
Press page relevance
Section titled “Press page relevance”patrick·yogajaya-history·scene-context·press-page-lineage- Tier 3 (archive/contextual): Student-voice beauty feature; Patrick named and visible in multiple photos but as supporting context for Kelly’s testimonial. The student experience documentation (2-year attendance, mental calm, natural diet shift, pre-work practice) is the primary value — a rare first-person student voice in the archive. The “ディレクター兼先生” title adds a minor data point. Oggi’s professional women’s readership confirms YogaJaya’s reach beyond the yoga/LOHAS specialist press.
Connections
Section titled “Connections”- J45-sotokoto-2006-02 — same month; both February 2006; Sotokoto documents Patrick’s philosophy at its most explicit; Oggi documents the accessible student experience — complementary views of the same studio
- J47-spur-2006-01 — same month cluster; Spur and Oggi both women’s fashion magazines; Spur via Patrick biography; Oggi via student testimonial
- J46-inred-2006-01 — January 2006; In Red also features Hikaru Brundtland from the faculty side; Oggi features Kelly from the student side
- J36-miss-2005-11 — MISS (Nov 2005): diet/lifestyle change attributed to yoga (similar theme to Kelly’s natural diet shift); consistent across the archive’s student-voice moments
