Welcome to your wellness journey,

  • Studio Yayoi is created to give people of all experience levels a tailored workout in the comfort of your own home. Designed to ground, re-align, and re-vitalise the mind and body. With a focus on breath, stability, and strength, together we will work towards building longevity in movement and wellbeing.

My name is Yayoi, I’m a Pilates and fitness instructor based in Arrowtown, Queenstown with 10 years of movement and conditioning experience. I trained with Polestar Pilates, and have been working with people to reach their movement and health goals since 2020. Prior to teaching Pilates, I studied at the New Zealand School of Dance and worked professionally with various Ballet companies internationally for 5 years. My career as a ballerina gave me extensive knowledge and enhanced my passion for holistic wellness. It brings me absolute joy and pleasure to guide people towards a positive relationship with themselves, physically, energetically, mentally, and emotionally. 

  • "Yayoi brings a beautifully unique style in her classes that highlights her background in movement and dance. Yayoi is an empathetic instructor who will guide you in your Pilates journey with the upmost care and consideration. Her classes encourage giving confidence in movement and mobility."

    Kate Benefield, Co Founder of ‘MVM.Pilates’

  • Yayoi is my fav. I seek out her classes because I always feel amazing afterwards. She has a great style, she challenges you but always with a twinkle in her eye and an encouraging smile. Her energy, connection and friendly approach is what keeps me coming back!
