Haruno Shannon (Yamazaki)

Haruno is a top ballet dancer, trained by master teachers in classical ballet and contemporary dance at the School of American Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Chautauqua Institute of Dance, Ballet School of Stamford, and Greenwich Ballet Academy. She has performed as a principal and prima ballerina in several productions all over the world. She has lived in New York for most of her life and is a native English speaker, and recently moved back to Tokyo and joined the team at Tokyo Physio. Haruno began Pilates and yoga when she gained a strong interest in injury prevention and rehabilitation after sustaining injuries of her own. She became a certified Romana’s Pilates instructor at the True Pilates Studio in New York City under Romana Kryzanowska and Sari Meija-Santo and has been a sought after instructor in New York and more recently in Belgium, working in some of the world’s top pilates studios. We are very fortunate to have Haruno join us at Tokyo Physio, as of January 2015.

Individual Pilates sessions

Our most popular option and what we have become well renowned for, being the English language private studio of choice in Tokyo. We encourage the individual attention in a private studio to ensure you have the best experience and achieve the results you want. The price structure for individual Pilates is the same as massage; a package of 10 sessions may be used for either Pilates or for massage.

Pilates instructor

We like to keep things simple, small and private; with only one instructor, Haruno Shannon. When you book a session with us you will always know who you will be seeing and you can choose individual or a maximum of 3 people for a small class. We think this is the way Pilates is supposed to be.
