I’m Aiyana Kyoko

Tiger Blossom is a creative practice grown from my own personal exploration of authenticity and creativity. The intention for every expression of Tiger Blossom is to honor the present moment and the individual.

I created Tiger Blossom classes from discoveries found in my studies of Ikebana. I started this personal Ikebana journey to reconnect with my Grandma Kyoko who studied Ikebana herself & passed on a few years ago. 

I found my incredible teacher, Yuko, who is certified by and teaches the same school of Ikebana my grandma studied with, The Ohara School of Japan. Yuko has been a cherished part of my journey and life. I still study with her today and recommend anyone who wants to pursue Ikebana to learn from her.

I have attained my Assistant Teacher accreditation and Intermediate Degree from the Ohara School in Japan. Along this wonderful journey I have discovered much healing and inspiration with the flowers. So I created a little curriculum that is a mixture of mindfulness and influences of ikebana to share what I have discovered along the path in hopes every student will discover their own healing, power, inspiration and creativity with the botanics.
