    Coming Home, Cozy Rooms, and New Yoga Dreams – Japanese Bedtime Talk

    Tonight’s episode is full of “coming home” feelings. After a busy business trip, I return to my apartment, try out a brand new foldable mattress, and even do a big room rearrange to create a calmer, cozier space. I also open a special package from a friend in Fukuoka: thoughtful books, a handwritten letter, and snacks that warm my heart. We’ve been mailing books back and forth, sharing our thoughts like an old-fashioned book club by post. At the same time, I talk about starting yoga again, wanting to focus more on my body and inner world, and even dreaming about going to India for a month of yoga training someday while also laughing at how bad I am at telling right from left. Put on this episode, relax your shoulders, and let the gentle rhythm of Japanese help you drift into sleep. 🌙✨ 💌 Send a message to うとうとtime https://www.sayurisaying.com/message-to-utoutotime/ 📝 ご感想や、話してほしいテーマがあれば、 ウトウトしながらでも大丈夫なので、送ってくださいね。 🩷 Support this podcast https://sayurisaying.com/support
