TESTIMONIALS
“I started with Pilates for health but under the guidance of Ms. Tanaka, now it is totally part of my life.
Ms. Tanaka’s lesson is attractive with a polite and easy-to-understand explanation. By focusing on the awareness and trimming the inner muscle by uniting the mind and body, you not only get the balance of the body but also a high refreshing effect. I would recommend it to those who are busy everyday. “

“I realize that Kaori’s Pilates lesson is really wonderful. I feel relieved as soon as the lesson started with a mellow voice. As the lesson is relaxed, energy is filled at the same time. It’s an hour in no time. But it has about 5 hours of effect! Exercises that captured my attention are also very attractive. I feel that my body will be reset properly guided. Both mind and body are good so we recommend you to anyone!
かおりさんのピラティスのレッスンは本当に素晴らしいと実感しています。まろやかな声でレッスンが始まった途端気分がすっとほぐれます。レッスンが進むにつれリラックスし、同時にエネルギーが満たされます。あっという間に１時間。でも５時間分くらいの効果があります！私の特性をとらえたエクササイズもとても魅力的。的確に指導されて身体がリセットされる気がします。心身ともにいいのでどなたにもぜひお勧めします！”

“I have been learning Pilates from Kaori since 2011.
The lesson begins with the stretch pole that helps to relax my mind and
muscles as well as loosen my joints. This in turn enables me to do my Pilates
better thereafter. And to make it even better, I always get to choose the
essential oil Kaori offers which really helps to relax my mind and enjoy the
exercise.
Kaori is meticulous and even makes the effort to jot down notes on me.
I love the fact that she always tailors my lessons according to my needs and
form during each lesson. And when she corrects my movements, she does it
in a gentle and encouraging manner that helps me to improve without feeling
stressed. It is no surprise therefore that I always look forward to my lesson
with her.
Kaori is passionate about Pilates and always learns new things to
improve her lessons. She has managed to weave Pilates into her way of life
and this has inspired me to see Pilates as an experience that I can enjoy to
enrich my well-being.
私は2011年からカオリからピラティスを学んでいます。
レッスンは、私の心をリラックスさせるだけでなく、筋肉や関節も緩めるストレッチポールから始まります。それによってその後のピラティスがより良く出来るようになります。さらに良くするために、いつもカオリがエッセンシャルオイルを提供してくれます。それは私の心をリラックスさせて、エクササイズも楽しくさせてくれます。
カオリは細心の注意を払い、私に気づきを与える努力をします。
そして、毎回レッスンでは、自分のニーズや状態に合わせていつもレッスンを調整してくれるのがとても気に入っています。彼女が私の動きを正しす時、穏やかで勇気づけながらしてくれるので、ストレスを感じないで上達していく事ができます。
だから私はいつも彼女とのレッスンを楽しみにしています。
カオリはピラティスに情熱を持ち、レッスンを改善するために常に新しいことを学んでいます。
彼女は自分の生活様式にピラティスを織り込んできました。これは私の幸せを豊かにしてピラティスが私が楽しむことができる経験であることを知らせてくれました。”
