Misha Yurchenko

Hey there, my name is Misha and I'm a certified mindfulness teacher based in Tokyo with over a decade of experience in meditation. My journey includes a 2-year training with mentors Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach and immersion in various meditation techniques on global retreats. At present, my focus lies on samatha-vipassana and the Bramaviharas within the Theravada Buddhist tradition.

Following a period of intense burnout from my venture-funded startup, and a subsequent period of deep healing, I founded Tokyo Mindfulness. My commitment is to aid individuals in freeing themselves from self-imposed constraints. I integrate meditation, breathwork, and nervous system healing to facilitate the release of ego, break free from entrenched habits, and foster inner freedom.

Beyond my role as a mindfulness guide, I am also an author and write a weekly newsletter on Substack. I live in Shibuya with my family and on the weekends enjoy cooking up new recipes and getting out into nature.

My coaching approach: I weave together a tapestry of transformative philosophies and techniques including mindfulness, emotional release, self-inquiry, focusing, shadow work, somatic mind-body techinques, compassion-practices, breathwork and more.

In every coaching session, I'm committed to creating a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. If you're interested to chat and see if this approach works for you, feel free to book a free, 30-minute 1-1 coaching call.

Looking forward to talking soon!
