Ayaka grew up in Japan, came to the United States after graduating from high school, and studied Kinesiology in college. Ayaka stated, “I have always loved working out!!” Ayaka started Pilates because she was interested in trying a new form of exercise and knew it was very popular among K-pop stars. It didn’t take long for Ayaka to become passionate about Pilates.
At that point, she decided to complete the Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training. From the moment she started Pilates, she felt something was different. Pilates improved her posture, core strength, and balance. Beyond the physical benefits, Ayaka loves how Pilates allows her to connect her mind to her body and to use her whole body in each movement. She stated, “That is the true joy of practicing Pilates.”
Ayaka is passionate about movement, alignment, and helping people build strength and confidence through mindful practice. Yaka is excited to meet and support you on your Pilates journey!
