The Art of Japanese Calligraphy
Introductory Trial Session
with Artist and Teacher Yuko Halada
What to Expect When
You Take a Private Lesson with Halada Sensei
Shodo, the art of Japanese Calligraphy, as taught
by Yuko Halada, is a path to embrace the positive energy, awareness
and serenity that can enhance your emotional and spiritual health.
Halada Sensei, a longstanding Residency Artist
with the Arizona Commission on the Arts, offers you much more
than the technical expertise of Shodo. In her unique Zen based
approach, she teaches Shodo as a therapeutic art imbued with a
strong spiritual component.
Her exceptional teaching nurtures the positive
in both your mind and spirit. This enables you to transmit this
energy through your brush as she guides you in the basic strokes
and exercises of Shodo.
Halada Sensei is committed to transforming her
students by enabling them to embrace and benefit from the power
of a positive viewpoint and profound gratitude in their lives.
To schedule your private introductory session,
or if you have any questions, please call Halada Sensei at 602-291-9856.
Personal Experiences of Student Participants in

Testimonial by Erin
Yuko Halada is not only an exceptional artist and
teacher, she is also an inspiration and example for her students.
I have been taking Japanese calligraphy with her for four years,
and in that time she has presented me with a whole new view of
the world. Complications in your life seem simple once she has
imbued you with an understanding of how everyday situations reflect
your innermost nature. My life would not be the daily pleasure
that it is now if I had not been graced with her classes and guidance.
Her art reflects the values she promotes, and you begin to learn
about yourself through the calligraphy brush as well as through
the teacher. You gain not only knowledge, but also experience.
As you work with her, you will begin to see more and more opportunities
every day, and take these opportunities with confidence.When I first began taking classes with Halada Sensei,
I was not very confident and tended to space out a lot of the
time. I didn't use my time very wisely, and I felt I was unable
to open up to and get along with new acquaintances. Escaping into
books or tv programs was easier than facing other people and my
own weaknesses, so thats what I did.?Honestly, though, that was
not very satisfying. Now, after having matured, with a lot of
help from her, I find myself more social and connected with those
around me, and excited for each individual day. This was presented
to me both through the art and conversation. The energy Yuko Halada
brings into the lives of the people she knows is truly astounding.
Taking her class is an extraordinary and life-changing opportunity.
