Discovering Good Sleep with MUJUU's Original Yoga Program

On International Yoga Day, the sleep aroma brand MUJUU, developed by U.S Inc., unveiled its original yoga program aimed at enhancing sleep quality, titled "GOOD SLEEP YOGA". This innovative program is supervised by Naomi Adachi, a senior sleep improvement instructor, affiliated with the Osaka Public University Health Science Innovation Center and a member of the Japanese Sleep Improvement Association.

From July 4 to August 7, 2025, yoga classes will be held in a private studio in Shibuya, allowing participants to experience the program in a tranquil environment, making it the perfect opportunity to prepare the mind and body for restful sleep.

Understanding the Link Between Yoga and Sleep

"GOOD SLEEP YOGA" focuses on three critical elements affecting sleep quality:

1. Breathing
2. Body Temperature
3. Meditation

The program incorporates yoga flows, breathing techniques, and MUJUU's unique aromas specifically designed to create optimal pre-sleep conditions. Yoga is approached as a form of "moving meditation," which helps to calm the mind and encourages a state conducive to natural sleep.

Benefits of Aroma and Yoga Combination

In "GOOD SLEEP YOGA," attention is placed on relaxing the chest and shoulder area to promote deep breathing, which is essential for transitioning into sleep. By concentrating on breathing, participants harness the benefits of MUJUU's aromatic scents, enhancing their overall relaxation and preparation for sleep.

Preparing the Body for Sleep

A key aspect of achieving sleep is temporarily warming the body to initiate a significant drop in deep body temperature when falling asleep. This program includes movements designed specifically to warm the body appropriately before bedtime, aligning perfectly with sleep routines.

Clearing the Mind with Meditation

In addition to physical health, mental clarity is crucial for quality sleep. "GOOD SLEEP YOGA" allocates extended time for "Shavasana" (corpse pose) at the end of the session to allow participants to clear their minds, encouraging tranquility following movement. This practice embodies the essence of yoga as a moving meditation.

Diverse Programs for Individual Needs

Tailored to accommodate varying intensity levels, the program offers three distinct yoga experiences:

• - SWITCH – Active Meditation: Energetic moves designed for those whose minds tend to race at night.
• - FIND – Stretch Meditation: Focuses on stretching to refresh the body and energize the spirit.
• - RELEASE – Warm Meditation: Utilizes props to relieve tension in tired muscles, promoting ease of movement.

Participants can select a yoga experience that suits their mood and condition on a given day, fostering personalized relaxation before sleep.

Collaboration with Busy Professionals

Developed in collaboration with yoga instructor Erika Ueda, this program targets busy professionals seeking better sleep. According to both Ueda and Adachi, the aim is to help individuals cultivate a refreshing nightly ritual tailored to their demanding lifestyles.

Insights from the Supervisors

Naomi Adachi, Senior Sleep Improvement Instructor
"The quality of sleep is significantly influenced by preparation. By understanding the necessary conditions and obstacles to sleep and making small changes in daily life, the quality of sleep can naturally improve. Yoga offers convenient habits to establish these essential conditions and eliminate negative factors. I hope this program serves as an effective 'sleep ritual' for modern individuals."

Erika Ueda, Yoga Instructor
"As a busy professional myself, I recognize the challenges of achieving restful sleep amidst demanding schedules. The 'GOOD SLEEP YOGA' program integrates the essential components for sleep into yoga practices for easy adoption.
