Kawai

Kawai has been teaching Pilates and GYROTONIC(R) for over 20 years. It was her love of dance and the lack of body awareness that brought her to Pilates. Injuring almost every joint in her body landed her on the reformer and from there she understood what the core was for. She got her Pilates training at Long Beach Dance Conditioning under Marie Jose Blom-Lawrence. From there she was introduced to Lisa Marie Goodwin and got her GYROTONIC/GYROKINESIS(R) training under (the former) White Crane Movement Arts. Pilates and GYROTONIC(R) saved her dance career and she was able to dance professionally for another 20 years and counting. Kawai likes to blend all the movement styles she's learned throughout the years, incorporating any kind of Gyro, yoga and dance inspired moves into her reformer classes.
