Kotomi
Kotomi brings over 10 years of classical ballet experience, 5 years as a Japanese cuisine chef, 10 years as a dedicated Pilates client, and 5 years as a Pilates instructor.
While working as a chef in a fast-paced environment, she began experiencing physical discomfort—an experience that led her to Pilates more deeply and sparked her interest in its benefits for both body and mind.
She has since taught at a major Pilates studio in Japan, delivering over 900 sessions annually, including private equipment sessions, mat group classes, and equipment-based group classes. Kotomi has worked with a wide range of clients—from teenagers to those in their 90s—and has extensive experience supporting scoliosis and postural imbalances.
For Kotomi, Pilates is a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with your body and learn how to support it from within. In her sessions, she values awareness over perfection. Rather than focusing on “doing it right,” she encourages clients to notice what’s happening inside their body and welcome small, positive shifts.
“Not forcing the body, but gently noticing when it begins to feel better.”
Japanese-speaking sessions are available in the studio.
