About Me
Hi, I’m Kotomi.
I offer Pilates in London with a focus on body awareness and mindful movement.
My journey with movement began with classical ballet.
For about 10 years,
I loved expressing myself through movement, even while experiencing injuries along the way.
Later, I stepped into a completely different world and worked as a Japanese chef for 5 years in a demanding kitchen environment.
Over time, the demands of daily work began to affect my health.
For the first time, I realized I needed to rethink the way I was using my body.
That was when I discovered Pilates.
I taught at a major Pilates studio in Japan for 5 years.
I led over 900 sessions per year, including:
private machine sessions, mat classes, machine group classes, and workshops.
I’ve worked with clients ranging from teenagers to people in their 90s.
I also have extensive experience supporting clients with scoliosis and postural imbalances.

To me, Pilates is not about being “fixed” by someone else.
It’s about learning to understand your body through your own awareness, and developing the ability to care for it yourself.
Beautiful, even in unguarded moments.
For a body that feels naturally at ease.
