  • “Working with Yayoi has been nothing short of life-changing. I was new to Pilates, totally stiff, inflexible and mis-aligned. Yayoi’s patience, expertise and personalised approach have helped me gain flexibility, strength and a sense of well-being. It’s been transformative.”

    Justin Crane

  • "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."

Her background in dance translates seamlessly into her classes, with effortless style and incredible strength.

After any class with Yayoi you will leave feeling challenged, re-aligned, lengthened & light.”
