Instructors

Sep 2

Saori was born and raised in Hiroshima, Japan. She was an active person who enjoyed gymnastics, ballroom dancing, and Jazzercise® but had to stop when she was diagnosed with thyroid problems. She was looking for an alternate low impact workout for a long time and found it in the Pilates Method. Pilates changed her whole life because it enabled her to go back to her active lifestyle. Her love for Pilates inspired her to want to become an instructor and spread the Pilates Method. She completed the Pilates comprehensive training course in 2010 in Tokyo, and also got her certification from BASI® (Body Art and Science International) Pilates in 2011. After teaching Pilates for 4 years at BASI® Pilates Studio in Japan, she moved to Hawaii in 2013. She loves meeting new people and has helped a lot of clients to improve their activity skills and find a better lifestyle. She is the only Japanese speaking Pilates Comprehensive instructor in Honolulu and has a good reputation because of her precise teaching and communication skills. Saori can teach in both Japanese and English.
