Yoga with Yuko

One-to-One Yoga with Yuko Takamura at YUKOHOLISTIC, Brighton

My name is Yuko and I would love to invite you to embark on a personal journey of yoga with me at YUKOHOLISTIC in Brighton.

Yoga has been a transformative force in my life, shaping my physical and mental well-being in ways I never imagined. My one-to-one yoga sessions are designed to meet you where you are, supporting your individual needs and helping you cultivate a deeper connection with your breath, body, and mind.

In 2017, I embarked on a 500-hour, two-year Vajrasati Yoga Teacher Training. The emphasis on breath-centered awareness became not just a part of my yoga practice but the foundation of my daily life. This approach to yoga has profoundly shaped my understanding of movement, stillness, and the relationship between the two.

I warmly invite you to join me for personal yoga lessons, small group sessions, and yoga workshops... and I am always here to answer any questions you may have.

GET IN TOUCH

Scout

I cannot recommend Yuko highly enough and in fact have done so many times. She is always so warm and welcoming and makes me feel right at home so I can relax. The place is very clean and she is going the extra way to make it pretty and welcoming. I always leave happy.

Shreya Murali

The best place to get a wax in Brighton. Yuko is quick, clean, no nonsense, and charges fairly. I really liked that she didn’t try to force conversation. She really made me feel at ease and they were incredibly painless.

Louise

I have to say that, after working for many years with many therapists, Yuko is the best I have found. Her professionalism and efficiency are 5 star. Her manner and how she dealt with my treatment instantly put me at ease, and I found her friendly and willing to listen to me, and achieve the results I was hoping for. I would recommend to anyone that they visit Yuko for their beauty treatment. I will certainly be going back!

Rachel Wheeler

Best wax experience ever. I had to change my appointment 3 times and each time she was super easy to work with. So friendly and warm made the whole process super comfortable. I have had some horrible waxing experiences, and some good ones but this was by far the best. She even managed to clean my eyebrows up without having to make another appointment. I will only be going to yuko from now on and I highly highly recommend to ANYONE!

Laura Bevans

I was very lucky to have found Yuko well over 3 years ago now, and haven't looked back. On the odd occasion (for various reasons) that I've had to visit other therapists/salons, I found the experience to be so impersonal, unfriendlywith stone faced therapists, that I'd never want to go anywhere else again. When visiting Yuko you don't just get the service you booked, but a super warm, considerate and genuine person with lots of friendly conversation. I've introduced and recommended all of my friends to Yuko; one friend in particular that was previously hesitant of waxing is now an avid fan thanks to the experience and expertise experienced she received. Couldn't recommend her enough.

Miriam Boote

I have been treated by Yuko for years now and can honestly say its the best waxing experience I have had anywhere. So good, that I have recommended her to many of my friends who are now also regular customers. I always feel amazing when I leave her and I regularly have a brow tint and shape.... and compliments have ranged from 'you look younger' to 'have you have a facelift'! Yuko has made me look and feel fab on my wedding day, on holidays and even in the labour ward - she is awesome. Can not recommend her enough.

Ella Provan

I have lived in Brighton for over two years now and have been going to Yuko for waxing from the beginning. Before living here I had been to numerous different salons and private therapists (having had some bad experiences along the way) and can genuinely say that I am always happy with the treatments from Yuko and that she is the best therapist I have experienced. She has a kind, warm, helpful and extremely friendly manner and I always feel completely comfortable in her presence. Her professional skill is exceptional and I could tell from my first wax with her that she knew exactly what she was doing - and I have been coming back regularly ever since! I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone.

Mary Lynn

As someone who has not had a wax before, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! Yuko was really lovely and put me at ease right away. The treatment itself was also very tolerable, however i do feel Yuko's amazing personality and extensive experience helped this. I hope to be back again in the future!

Monique Mitchell

Yuko is so lovely! Most comfortable I have felt getting a Hollywood, she’s also very quick and makes it as painless as possible. 1000% recommend to anyone

Sarina

I've been visiting Yuko for a number of years and would not consider going anywhere else now. She is excellent as she is very sensitive and instinctive in her work. Her cheerful personality also puts you at ease and every treatment is a pleasure.

Tasha

've been seeing Yuko for 3 years now and will never go anywhere else! She is definitely the best around.

Tanya

Yuko Takamura is a highly gifted lady whose healing hands have soothed, calmed and relaxed me through hectic work schedules and the ups downs of life. Yuko's treatments are unique because she works intuitively treating the individual. Every treatment I have ever received has been special & different giving me what I needed at that particular time even if I didn't know it. For me this is what makes her treatments so special, few therapists understand or embody the philosophy of treating the individual as opposed to making one treatment fit all. She understands that we are all unique and therefore we all have different needs to which she administers her wonderful healing hands and her own specially mixed oils.Yuko also has the great talent of being a great listener and a wonderful sounding board, always so generous with her kindness & support. She has listened her way through 10 years of my life and I am so grateful to her. Do yourself a kindness and book a treatment now because you're worth it !

My Journey to Vajrasati Yoga

I attended my first yoga class in 1999, and it felt as if I had just emerged from a refreshing swim in the sea. The mental cobwebs were blown away, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of clarity and joy. At first, my focus was entirely on asana - the physical postures. I pushed myself to achieve the 'perfect' poses, believing that flexibility and strength determined my ability as a yogi. This mindset led me to overextend myself, resulting in injuries and frustration.

Everything changed when I moved to Brighton and discovered Vajrasati Yoga. This introduced me to a new way of experiencing yoga - one that was about acceptance, awareness, and surrendering to the natural rhythm of the breath. Vajrasati Yoga, rooted in ancient texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, teaches traditional practices including āsana (posture), dhyāna (meditation), prāṇāyāma (breath liberation), mudrā (hand seal), and mantra (chanting). It approaches yoga as a process of deep absorption, guiding practitioners toward a profound awakening to the undivided wholeness of existence.

Meditation and breath release (pranayama) are central to this journey, with asana serving as a gateway to a more profound awareness of the present moment.

One-to-One Yoga Sessions in Brighton & Hove

In one-to-one sessions, I guide you in a safe and nurturing way, helping you develop a breath-centred practice at your own pace, while staying true to the essence of yoga. My sessions are tailored to you, whether you are:

A complete beginner wanting to start practicing.
Seeking relaxation and stress relief.
Looking for guidance in pranayama, meditation, or movement with awareness.
Wanting to practice but feeling worried about injuries or physical limitations.

By tuning in to the present moment and truly listening to your body, we cultivate a practice that feels natural and nourishing - rather than striving for an external ideal of yoga.

Small Group Yoga Lessons & Workshops

In addition to private sessions, I also offer small group lessons, providing a supportive space for shared learning and deeper exploration. My workshops focus on Vajrasati Yoga principles, pranayama, meditation, and mindful movement, helping you enrich your understanding of yoga beyond the mat.

Yoga is a lifelong journey - one that continually evolves as we do. Whether you are completely new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, I am here to support you. Let’s breathe together, move together, and discover the profound benefits of yoga as we reconnect with our true selves. I look forward to practising with you.

The Benefits of One-to-One Yoga with Yuko in Brighton

Practicing yoga is a beautiful way to nurture your whole being, but in a class setting, you may not always get the personal attention you need. That’s where one-to-one yoga comes in.

At YUKOHOLISTIC, private sessions are designed around your unique needs, ensuring that every movement, breath, and posture supports your journey toward meditative experience.

Whether you’re new to yoga, recovering from an injury, managing stress, or deepening your practice, one-to-one sessions provide a safe, supportive space where you can move with awareness and ease. With personalised guidance, we’ll focus on alignment, breath, and movement flow, allowing you to deepen your connection to yoga as union.
