About

Tokyo moves fast. The MMV is a mobile meditation studio designed to bring stillness directly to you — at your workplace, your neighbourhood, or wherever you need it most

Our mission is to make mindfulness accessible to everyone in Tokyo — without the need to travel to a studio or commit to a long-term class.

We want to provide a space for people to experience mindfulness at a reasonable cost with convenience and flexibility in mind.

You will have a unique opportunity to take a short break in a comfortable space, while developing your mindfulness practice. We welcome beginners to experienced meditators, and we are open to different styles of practice as well. We can partner with teachers with various mindfulness approaches.

Our inspiration is taken from companies like the Calm City truck and the BeTime meditation studio in New York, PauseNow in San Francisco, and MeditationWorks in Toronto.

BIO

I hold meditation teaching certifications from The Path (founded by Dina Kaplan, New York) and MELON meditation studio, Tokyo, and I am a registered member of the Mindfulness Meditation Association of Japan.

I am American-born from Taiwanese parents, and I grew up in Michigan and then moved to Los Angeles after college. I currently live and teach in Japan.

My interest in meditation started from a different place, I heard that many creative artists were into meditation to inspire their creativity, and that’s when I started reading books on meditation and mindfulness. My interest grew from there, beyond just being creative and diving more into how we live and how we think.

I've been a fan of stand-up comedy since I was young, and I love that some of the sharpest comedic minds — like Jerry Seinfeld — are also devoted meditators. It's a good reminder that mindfulness doesn't have to be serious. Laughter and stillness can live in the same practice.

Even though I find spirituality discussions interesting, my personal interest in mindfulness is more focused on the scientific research, and the overall understanding of the brain and of consciousness.

In my private lessons, I like to emphasize what many other teachers have talked about, that meditation practice is like strengthening a muscle, in particular a muscle of attention. Whatever guidance I can give, whatever environment is needed, I am here to support that journey.
