Akari Tamura

Originally from Japan, Akari Tamura is Yoga Teacher, Kirtan Leader and Multi-Instrumentalist, based in Koh Phangan, Thailand, and tours Europe in summer/autumn. Akari is known for her inspirational style of teaching and self-expression towards healing, love and empowerment. She has a unique way to inspire students all around the world by transmitting embodied wisdom from the heart with sincere devotion to her own practice and life. Incorporating the vibrational power of spiritual heart through Sankalpa (heart-felt intention) and Bhavana (deepest feeling in the moment), Akari creates and holds a sacred space for student’s both outer-physical and inner-spiritual journey.  

Akari is a well-known Kirtan leader with decade’s long background of classical music study. Akari feels that music is a way to connect to the center of our vastness, just like how music was one of the means towards liberation at Vedic time in India. Akari’s other background includes a degree in sociology, several years of humanitarian work in Africa and SE Asia, knowledge of permaculture design with experience of living off-grid, extensive training and working experience in theta healing, aromatherapy, herbalism, massage and bodywork.  

Akari’s dharma (soul purpose) is to elevate the consciousness of humanity towards expansive love of our true nature through practice of yoga, art of music, power of intentions, radical affirmation of both light and shadow within, and becoming a true channel of our full potentiality for the world that we love to create. Walking on this yogic path with gratitude, Akari is passionate to share the beauty of cherishing the most intimate relationship within all of us – between me and the Divine. Home is where thy heart is.
