Tempu Yoga
天風ヨガ

​You can learn Nakamura Tempu's original Shin-shin-toitsu-do from anywhere in the world and from the comfort of your home!

​

Due to requests from folks worldwide, H. E. Davey has opened his classes in Tempu-style Japanese yoga and meditation to the public. For the past several years, his students in Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the USA, India, and other nations have been practicing Nakamura Tempu’s groundbreaking Japanese yoga online and from their homes. These are adults of all ages and levels of health, who have joined our nonprofit yoga dojo to study Shin-shin-toitsu-do: Nakamura Sensei’s “Way of Mind and Body Unification.” 

​

Now, you can as well. Here’s all you need to know to get started:

 

What: Authentic instruction in Nakamura Tempu’s original Japanese yoga, an art of integrating mind and body that’s existed in Japan since 1919, but which is rarely taught in English anywhere in the world. This is your chance to learn revolutionary methods of seated meditation, moving meditation, abdominal breathing exercises, autosuggestion, massage-like healing arts, stretching exercises, and more. 

 

When: Beginning classes are offered on Tuesday and Thursday in the form of videos sent to students, which are viewable for up to 7 days. On Saturday from 10:00 – 11:00 AM (US Pacific Time) H. E. Davey teaches in-person. Students are given a Zoom link to attend the class live. There’s usually a period after the Saturday class when you can ask questions and receive correction. What’s more, even if you can’t attend the Saturday class, it’s recorded and sent to everyone. Regardless of time differences or scheduling, anyone can participate.

 

Where: We meet on Zoom. Zoom is safe and easy to use. You can learn more about it here: https://zoom.us. It will work with your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or even phone.

 

How: Legibly fill out a membership application for the Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts and hand sign the liability waiver. Scan it or photograph it, then email it back to us. You can request a membership application HERE.

 

We offer a discounted fee of only $40 for the first month which includes 12 classes. After the first month, the membership fee in our nonprofit dojo is just $55 per month. You can send your payment using several methods: Venmo (U. S. residents only), PayPal (U. S. and non-U. S. residents), and Wise (Non-U.S. residents). The fees collected support our international dojo, and periodically we use them to donate money to worthy charities around the world.

​

Who:  H. E. Davey teaches all the classes. He's studied under four of Nakamura Tempu’s top disciples, including Sawai Atsuhiro, International Japanese Yoga Association President. Davey Sensei has practiced in Japan and the USA for over 50 years, he wrote the first English language books on Nakamura Sensei’s unique methodology, and he has the highest IJYA teaching certification. This last point is important. It indicates that he's studied Nakamura Sensei’s entire curriculum. Without detailed instruction in all of Nakamura Sensei’s teachings, which is only available to people with full teaching certification, it’s impossible to really understand how all its varied elements work together to form his Japanese yoga. At present, H. E. Davey is the only person in the world that’s studied all levels of the curriculum, who has IJYA teaching certification, and who’s offering classes in English to the public.

 

Why: Although we might phrase it differently, we’d all like to be healthy, realize our full potential, understand the nature of our true self, and experience our innate oneness with the universe. And lots of us have tried to figure all of this out before—sometimes for years—with little success. Too many approaches to the above subjects are vaguely explained, impractical, and perhaps impossible to boot. Our nonprofit yoga dojo is an opportunity to find new approaches to ancient truths. And it’s being offered online in English, and on an ongoing basis.
