What is Kokoro · Do?

Kokoro · Do is a movement practice inspired by aikido, yoga, stretching, breathwork and the way of the wooden weapon — the bokken, jo and tanto. It blends the grace of dance, the awareness of yoga, and the practical wisdom of martial arts into one sustainable approach to movement that supports your daily life.
