About

Born and raised in Japan, dance was introduced to Mao early in her life. After moving to New York under a two year grant she received from The Agency of Cultural Affairs of Japan, she completed her dance education at the Ailey School, and received BFA from the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase. Upon graduation, she danced professionally with multiple dance companies in NY and more.

She originally began her GYROTONIC® journey through Yoga for Dancers with Hillary Cartwright in NY while suffering from minor chronic pain in her lower back for over years. She soon realized that the GYROTONIC® system was a great tool for injury prevention and physical therapy for her own body. She always looks forward to learning and growing more, and finds a joy of this great method. She truly wishes to share the happiness of the movement with everyone. She has worked with clients range from the age of 16 to 70 that include professional dancers, athletes, artists, and people recovering from injuries.　

She is a GYROTONIC® Level 1 Pre-Trainer under Billy Macagnone(NY) and certified trainer for GYROTONIC® Level 2, GYROKINESIS® Level 1. The specialized courses she has done are as follows: Applications for the Pelvis & Shoulder Girdle and Applications for Scoliosis, both with Uwe Herbstreit, and Applications for dancers with Miriam Barbosa.  Mao is certified with all the specialised equipment: Jumping-Stretching Board, GYROTONER®, Archway with Billy Macagnone and Leg Extension Unit with Sebastian Plettenberg.

She has been teaching in multiple places such as in New York City, Los Angelos, and Tokyo and now offering Gyrotonic method from her home studio in Corona, CA, where she has Pully tower, JSB, LEU and Archway.
