4. Mari Yoga
For Fukuoka-born Mariko Hiyama, yoga came naturally as its principles were very much in line with Japanese culture.

Mari Yoga is also one of the few studios to offer Qi Gong, a practice that blends yoga with martial arts, and is beloved for its strengthening and stretching health benefits.
