FILM SYNOPSIS
Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he explores his passions for music, books, photography, and nature. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOP with CARLY
Learn to teach Strength & Conditioning with confidence in this comprehensive 3-hour workshop designed to sharpen your sequencing, cuing, pacing, and class tone — all set to fun, high-energy music.
This training breaks down the structure of a powerful, full-body S&C class, including exercise classification (push vs. pull, hip vs. knee dominant, single vs. double leg), safe and effective form with weights, strategic sequencing, cardio integration, and dynamic, motivating cuing. You’ll practice building your own 45-minute class and refine your verbal adjustments to promote safety, clarity, and momentum. This is not yoga or yoga sculpt, it’s a strength-based workout class focused on building lean muscle with smart programming and strong leadership.
Attendees will receive Kalā Yoga Strength & Conditioning Certification and gain access to two on-demand video sequences to support continued learning and implementation after the workshop.
Come ready to move, practice, cue, and build.
