Later, Naoko earned a masters degree in political science from leading universities in Tokyo, Washington DC and Scotland in order to harmoniously address the seeming dichotomy between eastern and western spheres of human thought. Today, yoga serves as the main vehicle by which Naoko shares her passion for promoting peace on our planet.Having taught yoga and hosted many yoga events in Japan and abroad since 1992, Naoko is now a certified Nosara Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher at 500 hr professional level as well as Pranassage Practitioner plus Yoga Alliance registered RYT 500 and E-RYT 200.
