What people say about Yumi's pilates classes:

"I studied Pilates with Yumi for nearly 2 years and found her to be the most delightful, calm, patient instructor I have ever met. I started with no Pilates knowledge and she has given me a very thorough insight into Pilates foundations that I can remember easily as I continued with my classes.... She is an extremely enlightening teacher who shares her passion for fitness and life with her class and she is, in my mind, and I am sure, others in the class, the best Pilates instructor you could hope to find. I must say that nowhere I have tried comes close to you, Yumi." Belinda
