FUTABA is the founder of Cloud Leaf –

a heartfelt yoga community rooted in presence, healing, and embodied awareness.

 

Originally from Japan, Futaba discovered yoga as a quiet refuge during a period of deep personal searching. Her path led her to Byron Bay, Australia,

where she immersed herself in over 1,000 hours of yoga training, earning her

RYT 500 certification. Her teaching is grounded in traditional yogic philosophy

while being shaped by lived experience, softness, and deep curiosity.

 

Her approach is somatic – gently attuning to the body’s natural rhythm, breath, and inner intelligence.

She sees yoga as a practice of listening: not striving or performing, but returning home to the body, moment by moment.

 

Cloud Leaf began as a whisper from within – a desire to create a space where language, culture, and background dissolve in shared presence.

A space where anyone can feel safe to move, to feel, to breathe, and to be.

 

Futaba’s offerings range from mindful movement and breathwork, to community retreats and healing audio practices. Through her work, she gently invites others to soften, to reconnect, and to bloom from within.

​

Cloud Leaf is not just a project.

 

It is a living reflection of Futaba’s journey – and an open invitation to yours.
