Section titled “Part 1 — Staff Profile: 堀江里子 (Horie Satoko/Riko)”

Column: “Do you wanna work for Yoga?” Title: アシスタントディレクター (Assistant Director), YogaJaya

Q&A (translated):

Q1 — Responsibilities: 最近入社しました。受付業務やイベントのアレンジ、オーガナイズなど “Recently joined. Responsibilities include reception, event arrangement, and organizing.”

Q2 — Why did you start? 2007年春にバリのティーチャーズトレーニングに行ったのですが、当スタジオのパトリックが教えに来ていて巡り会いました。それ以降、自分のめざす方向に流むためにエネルギーをどう注いでいくかを意識するようになったこと、YogaJayaのビジョンと方向性に共感したことがきっかけです “I went to a teacher training in Bali in spring 2007, where I happened to meet Patrick, who was teaching there. Since then, becoming conscious of how to channel my energy in the direction I want to go, and resonating with YogaJaya’s vision and direction — those were the triggers.”

Q3 — Your standout quality: “Believing in YogaJaya’s potential and that there’s something I can contribute. We’re able to positively influence one another.”

Q4 — Qualities needed to work at a yoga studio: “Being connected to everything — teachers, students, staff. Being flexible. Being organic and creative.”

Q5 — What makes you glad to be doing this: “I feel joy when I think ‘this might be my calling right now.’ Feeling the possibilities expand keeps the spirit of challenge alive.”

Q6 — Any difficulties: “Even the difficult parts are more stimulating and interesting than hard — so I don’t feel they’re a burden.”

Favorite: Singing bowls — used before meditation, candles lit; “feels like you can hear the sounds of the earth.”
