About
As a fitness instructor for many years, I had met the needs of a wide range of age groups through various exercises, including cardio, body conditioning, and dance.
In 1997, on the U.S. West Coast, I encountered two disciplines that emphasized “Mind-Body,” and moved to the United States the following year to studi Pilates under Marie-Jose Blom in California and GYROTONIC® Expansion System under its founder, Juliu Horvath.
After returning to Japan, I began installing Gyrotonic Equipment in fitness in Tokyo in 2000. While working to promote GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, and Pilates Methods, I opened Studio Naturalflow in 2003, a facility centered on those methods. Since then, in addition to providing private lessons, I have been focusing on supporting instructor training programs after becoming a certified Master Trainer in GYROTONIC® in 2003 and in GYROKINESIS® in 2005.
