About

【 Abour me 】

Born and raised in Japan, Mao pursued an extensive background in dance since an early age of her life. After receiving a two-year grant from the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan, she moved to New York at the age of 16, where she completed her dance training at The Ailey School and earned her BFA in Dance from the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase. Upon graduation, she performed professionally with several dance companies in New York and beyond.

In recent years, Mao has expanded her artistic work to include choreography, setting pieces for Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP)—one of the world’s leading dance competitions—as well as for other national competitions in Japan.

Mao began her GYROTONIC® journey in 2010, attending Yoga for Dancers in New York as a way to address injuries and chronic pain resulting from years of rigorous training and performance. Soon after she discovered GYROTONIC® Method provides most profound tools for injury prevention, recovery, rehabilitation, sustainable movement, and holistic body wellness. It is through this practice that she feels most connected to the joy of movement.

Today, Mao finds greatest fulfillment in sharing the transformative benefits of GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® with others. Continuously deepening her understanding of the method, she is inspired by its capacity to cultivate balance, vitality, and expressive movement. Her clients range in age from 9 to 85 and include professional dancers, athletes, movement artists, and those on a path of recovery and many more. She has been teaching in multiple places internationally, such as in New York City, Los Angelos, and Tokyo.

She currently serves as a GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer under Certifying Master Trainer Billy Macagnone, owner of Body Evolution (BE) in New York. She holds certifications in GYROTONIC® Level 2, Therapeutic Applications, Applications for Dancers, and all Specialized Equipment.

Mao truly wishes to share the joy of movement with everyone. Each of her sessions is thoughtfully designed to be uniquely yours — personalized to meet your individual needs and goals. She feels deeply honored to return to BE NYC and looks forward to connecting with everyone soon. 

I look forward to meeting you soon in the future !
