Daniel first came across the integration of Pilates with physiotherapy in 1998 when he was living in Australia. He immediately realized the huge potential and great benefits this method could have on fitness enthusiasts, people undergoing rehabilitation, and even elite sportsmen and women. Since then, he has been teaching Pilates and personal training throughout Asia and Australia, including the world’s top destination spa, Chiva-Som in Thailand.

This experience, combined with his Bachelor’s in Applied Science (Human Movement Studies), has given him broad exposure to the health and fitness industry. His wide-ranging exposure to various fitness training methods convinced him of the impact Pilates can have on a person’s life. Thus, Daniel decided to concentrate on teaching and developing Pilates for fitness and rehabilitation. For the last few years, he has been traveling Asia teaching the Polestar Pilates instructor training courses as well as presenting several times at the Polestar Pilates Asia conferences.

Daniel shares “I strongly believe that our bodies have an inherent ability to heal themselves and perform at peak levels without injuries, given the right environment, care, and commitment.”

Natsumi has always been active in fitness and started out dancing Jazz during her childhood. As part of her training, she was introduced to Pilates while studying dance abroad in Los Angeles. She felt the impact and changes Pilates did to her body, making her stronger and more mobile than before. This revelation inspired her to delve deeper into Pilates. Natsumi got herself certified to teach in hopes that she could share with others the wonders of Pilates that she experienced.

Not only did Pilates help her with her career as a dancer, she felt the benefits of it significantly postnatal. It helped her return to her pre-pregnancy health faster and aided her recovery postpartum.

Natsumi is passionate about sharing her knowledge of Pilates with you and believes that her detailed teaching methods will make you love exercises and movements just as much as her.
