MY BIO / MY PASSION

I am Noriko Tojo. I was born and grew up in Tokyo. During my undergraduate studies in Political Science, I went to live abroad for the first time to study in Italy for a year. Since then, I felt in love with traveling and have lived in many countries.

​

I lived in Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, and now Barcelona, Spain. I used to work as a musician and language interpreter before I discovered Pilates and Yamuna Body Rolling practices.

​

After giving birth to my first child, I had major back pain and misalignment of the pelvis, which brought me to the practice of Pilates. After the few sessions, I felt immediate relieve, and after 6 months of practice, my body was transformed into a completely new one.  Fascinated and curious to know how this practice worked, I decided to study Pilates and later became a certified instructor.

​

When my second child was born, I had much greater mastery of my body and muscles, so I had not post-partum issues. I continued studying the body through the practice of Pilates. During my studies, I came across Yamuna Body Rolling and became once again astonished with the results. Through many years of study and practice, I learned to use both as tools to tailor sessions and/or lessons that help improve or maintain the heath conditions of individuals based on each person’s anatomical features and needs.
