“Recovery starts before you close your eyes.”
Karina teaches yoga across Japan and structures her evenings around recovery and sleep. Her practice is as much about what happens off the mat as on it.

Karina Nakamura's non-negotiables
The pieces of the routine that hold the rest in place.
Sleep
I wind down at the same time every night, no matter the timezone. The last hour is screen-free, low light, and on the mat.
Move
Yoga is my training but also my recovery. The line between the two is the whole point.
Restore
Tongue scraping first thing. It takes five seconds and changes how the morning tastes.
