Studio flow | Private Machine Pilates in Komazawa, Tokyo (English available)

01 About

Getting to know your body,
as it is today.

At Studio flow, private machine Pilates sessions help you understand the current state of your body through connected, flowing movement. We work on alignment and breathing to build a strong, supple and balanced body — comfortably, and without strain.

The studio is completely private, so you can focus on your own body without worrying about anyone else around you. We call our time together a “session” rather than a “lesson”: we work with your body and how it feels on the day, building small discoveries through breath and movement.

Why “flow”?

The name comes from the flow of movement that lies at the heart of Pilates. It also speaks to the natural flow of feelings, of breath and of life itself — and to this place: the path through pizzeria nico up to the studio, and the trees of Komazawa Park breathing just outside the windows.

05 Instructors

Our instructors

Mizuho Owner

I have been developing an expertise in exercise science since 2001 when I majored in kinesiology at California State University in Northridge, USA. While raising three young children, I started practicing pilates and became a qualified instructor in 2021. I feel pilates is a life-changing daily fitness program that promotes better body, mind and spirit health. My passion is supporting a diverse clientele in Japanese and English.

Certified in PBW Maternity Pilates (Japan Mother and Child Health Exercise Association).

Rika

A gentle instructor who draws on her own experience. Over some 15 years she has studied nutrition, yoga, medical aromatherapy, mobility care, myofascial release, Pilates, anatomy and skeletal conditioning — putting each into practice in her own body.

Miyuki

While working as an editor, Miyuki began Pilates to recover from postpartum health issues and later became certified. She continues to deepen her knowledge of anatomy, scoliosis and core face training.

Sessions with Rika and Miyuki are mainly in Japanese.

★★★★★

I’ve really enjoyed coming to this Pilates studio. It’s right next to Komazawa park, so being surrounded by greenery makes every visit feel peaceful and refreshing. The classes have been especially helpful after giving birth, and I always leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and energized. The instructors are all wonderful, and every lesson is both enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend!
