Yoshi Nakano Bio
❝ There are two kinds of education in our lives:
education for living and education for healthy well-being;
teachings from the materially rich culture of ‘how to do’
and teachings from the spiritually rich culture of ‘how to be’.
The holistic values of education are often lost in today’s modern world.
By integrating both cultures with wisdom, human beings can fulfill their purpose through universal values of the heart. ❞
Yoshi Nakano is a second generation Asian bodyworker, teacher, brush calligrapher and artist who has been inspired by renowned teachers including: Thích Nhất Hạnh, Dr. Vasant Lad, Ohashi, Mantak Chia, Takemori and Shinsuke (Yoshi’s father).
At the age of eleven, Yoshi began to practice anma, brush calligraphy, martial arts and moxibustion. He studied and taught shiatsu at the Ohashi Institute, the Bateman Institute, and The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York. Yoshi served on the faculty of the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts, taught at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona’s Honors Program, and was a guest presenter at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
Yoshi helped the Prajna Yoga Temple develop the Art of Touch program for yoga teacher trainees and students. He trained bodyworkers at Ten Thousand Waves, a Japanese health spa in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Additionally, he taught Asian bodywork to therapists in Kingston, Jamaica. Yoshi helped present a Makkō-Hō meridian video for Heart Mind Healing Arts school in California. He is currently an associated teacher with The Five Light Center of Shiatsu in New York City.
Yoshi Nakano is the founder of MeisoTouch (Touch meditation for abdominal attunement) and the Zen Tribe Wellness Dojo in Tucson, Arizona.
Drawing on more than thirty-five years of experience and training in Eastern healing modalities (Shiatsu, Healing Tao Qi Gong, Zen Calligraphy and Yoga), Yoshi‘s work transcends the borderlines within Asian healing traditions.
