Maternity yoga

Chris is pregnant and living in the Osaka area, and wants to know if there is anywhere she can practice yoga in her condition.

It just so happens that the June issue of the English-language Japanzine, published in Nagoya ( www.seekjapan.jp and on cell phones at www.jzmode.com ), highlights yoga in an article "Bend it like BIKRAM" by Annica.

Slow-Flow at Namba Parks 5F, 2-10-70 Namba-naka, Naniwa-ku, Osaka, offers Maternity Yoga and Baby Yoga. The studio has 12 instructors in total, including two who speak English -- Kaoru and Atsushi.
