Sumati Chiemi Tomori was born in Hiroshima, Japan and moved to New York to work in planning and navigating domestic and international trips for 30 years for several major Asian companies. While in New York, she experienced the benefits of Yoga through classes she took at the Integral Yoga Institute of New York. So inspired by her Yoga practice, she continued her studies of Integral Yoga, even serving for 10 years as a staff member for Yoga teacher trainings held in Yogaville. In 2020, Sumati returned to Hiroshima permanently and started teaching IY classes suitable for children to seniors in the Hiroshima area schools, hospitals, daycares, temples, and other locations. Soon she expanded her service into training Integral Yoga teachers in Japan, offering stress management courses for companies and in medical fields, aiming to spread the circle of mental and physical health, without side-effects, throughout Japan.
