Wellness Instructors for Hotels

Personal sessions for your guests, when they are wanted.

We provide mat Pilates, yoga and machine-training instructors to hotels, ryokan and serviced residences in Kyoto and Osaka. Personal sessions for one guest, or semi-personal sessions for up to two, in your in-house gym or studio. About thirty instructors are on our roster, several of whom teach in English. We have served a luxury hotel in Kyoto since 2026.

When it helps

  • You want a wellness offering without full-time staff
  • International guests who want to be taught in English
  • Individual programmes for long-stay and VIP guests
  • A regular morning class as a hotel activity
  • Extra wellness capacity in peak season only

Sessions

A yoga session: an instructor rests a hand on the shoulder of a guest holding a seated twist on the mat.
  • Personal session (60 or 90 minutes): mat Pilates, yoga or machine training, for one guest
  • Semi-personal session (60 minutes): mat Pilates or yoga, for up to two guests

Which sessions an instructor can deliver varies by instructor; we match the instructor to each request. Each session begins with a short verbal consultation on the guest’s wishes, condition and experience, and ends with brief feedback where useful.

Off-site option: yoga in a temple garden or similar, arranged by the hotel
