Tatami Studio - Martial Arts + Yoga

Our kids, 9 and 11, joined Aikido here several months ago, and LOVE it here! Sensei Maria and Ama are wonderful teachers, and create an amazing learning environment.

Wonderful teachers. Welcoming atmosphere. I've been to all the dojos in Winnipeg and this is definitely the best, safest place to learn aikido.

I work a stressful job with long hours and have been looking for something to help me with my sleep. I exercise and do yoga once a week but wanted to consider meditation to calm my mind from racing throughout the night. I had attended a few different centers before Tatami, but they weren’t really for me. They mostly involved sitting in silence with the teacher going through some readings and that was about it.

What I really love about Tatami’s meditation class is that it incorporates about 1 hour of light push/pull movements to prep you for a 20/25 minute guided meditation while laying down flat, followed by seated breathing exercises and continued meditation.

Ama, the instructor, shows a genuine passion and enthusiasm for meditation which is evident through his methods of teaching. He is the type of person you feel trust with immediately, and because of that, feel very comfortable from the moment you walk in. I also feel like I am learning something every class which is a bonus. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a very calming 2 hours in there lives.

Dru Meditation is a fast track to feeling balanced and more at peace with myself after a busy day of demands at work. I can also use short sequences or breathing techniques to centre myself during the day.

Tatami Studio is run by two compassionate and dedicated instructors - Maria and Ama. The dru meditation classes incorporate gentle calming movement sequences, a beautiful guided relaxation along with breath work and meditation. The dru yoga combines subtle yet powerful sequences that help move energy and bring balance to your mind body and soul. If you are looking for a place to study yoga and meditation with beautiful energy, give Tatami Studio a try!
