Studio En Teachers

Hiromi (Lead Yoga)

After backpacking around the world, I first encountered yoga in Australia. What began as a personal practice soon became a way of life, bringing profound changes to both my mind and body.

My yoga journey deepened when I moved to Niseko in 2021. Since then, I’ve completed my RYT200 (200-hour Yoga Teacher Training) in Niseko, a Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, and most recently, a 300-hour advanced training in India — earning my certification as an RYT500. Alongside yoga, I also guide sound healing with singing bowls, creating spaces that encourage stillness, reflection, and inner harmony.

As an instructor, I value the exchange of energy and learning that happens in every class. I find great joy in guiding others on their own journeys while continuing to grow through each shared experience.

Beyond teaching, I have been the studio manager here for several years — a role that allows me to nurture both our teaching team and the wider community. I feel truly grateful to work alongside some amazing teachers, who have become like family, and together we strive to create a space that is supportive, uplifting, and open to all.

For me, yoga is a time to quiet the noise of daily life and lighten my body and mind through asana, meditation, breathwork, and sound. It is not just exercise or fitness; but a way of living. I look forward to bringing awareness to the present moment, practicing together, cultivating inner peace, and sharing that moment with you.

Natsumi (Lead Pilates)

My love of movement began with jazz dance at only 10 years old. In 2003, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my ambitions in jazz hip hop and to refine my technical dance skills. During my full-time dance training, I was first introduced to Pilates and quickly discovered its incredible benefits for performance enhancement, injury prevention, and overall body conditioning.

After graduating, I continued my Pilates practice while maintaining a dance career in Tokyo for five years. I performed as a professional backup dancer for notable Japanese artists, and performed for other singers through the prestigious AVEX academy.

Following the birth of my first child, I returned to my hometown in Hokkaido to raise my family. During this time, Pilates once again became an invaluable part of my life—helping me recover postnatally and regain my strength and wellbeing. This experience deepened my belief in the transformative power of Pilates and inspired me to share my knowledge with others through teaching.

I enjoy creating a learning environment that is warm, supportive, and encouraging. Drawing from my background in both dance and Pilates, I focus on precision, alignment, and mindful movement to help each client connect deeply with their body. I’m passionate about helping others experience the same strength, balance, and mobility that first inspired me to begin this journey. I hold a BASI certification.

Cheah (Yoga)

Hello, I’m Cheah!

For 8 years, yoga was a grounding force through my stressful life in Singapore. After leaving my corporate job, I completed my teacher training in India and am now based in Japan where I practice and teach. My practice combines mindful breath awareness with creative vinyasa flow sequences and grounding yin stretches, a holistic invitation to reconnect with yourself on the mat.

I look forward to exploring the yoga journey with you!

Aimi (Yoga)

Konnichiwa,
I’ve started my yoga practice about 8 years ago and I went to India for a deeper understanding about yoga and myself. Yoga has taught me to listen to my body and my soul. It has become the place for me to come back to myself. Through teaching yoga I love sharing and feeling the oneness energy and see the happy faces after shavasana. Outside of yoga, I love walking in the nature, foraging, crocheting and cooking. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the studio.
