Coming into KCJS, I didn\u2019t have a CIP in mind, and honestly, I was a little lost. My clubs and activities at Tufts didn\u2019t quite translate to a circle I could join at Doshisha nor did I have experience in a sport of performing art. I bounced between Bazaar Caf\u00e9, calligraphy, a cooking school, and a hiking circle. Eventually, I settled on yoga at Tamisa Yoga and the Kyoto Cooking Circle \u30fc two of the best decisions I made during my time here.<\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

Tamisa Yoga is located on the popular shopping street Teramachi, about a 20 minute bus ride from Doshisha. The street\u2019s\u00a0hustle and bustle, with tourists and locals alike, is a refreshing contrast to the serene atmosphere inside the studio. While I did not have extensive experience before taking classes at Tamisa Yoga, I chose yoga because I was looking for a way to destress and relax. I began by testing out a few different classes to see which style I preferred, eventually settling on Rusie Dutton with Asako-sensei. If you end up choosing yoga as your CIP, I suggest attending the same class every week, so you can develop a relationship with the teacher and also familiarize yourself with the teacher\u2019s routine. Because let me tell you, holding a yoga pose, mentally interpreting yoga instructions in Japanese, and simultaneously trying very hard to not make a fool of yourself, is extremely difficult!\u00a0After a relaxing class, chatting with Asako-sensei is often the highlight of my day. My friendship with her is definitely part of the reason why I return every week, even after a long day of school.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Me and Asako-sensei. Definitely take her class if you have the chance!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I supplemented yoga with monthly classes at Kyoto Cooking Circle. While called a \u201ccircle,\u201d Kyoto Cooking Circle is not your typical \u30b5\u30fc\u30af\u30eb affiliated with a university \u30fc it is actually a class offered to the public at a local community center. Kyoto Cooking Circle also provides me a steady community within Kyoto \u30fc I only wish it was offered more often! From the staff to the regulars that return every month, everyone is kind, accommodating, and excited about food. In the three classes I attended we made okonomiyaki, fall \u548c\u98df, and nabe. After preparing the meal, we share what we\u2019ve made over tea and conversation.<\/div>\n
