Interview with Torigoe Yoshimi
We spoke with Torigoe Yoshimi, who runs Studio Natura.
What inspired the name Studio Natura?
Torigoe (surname only)
I named it Studio Natura hoping it would be a place where people can be their authentic selves, setting aside for a while the roles and titles they carry in their everyday lives.
I hope people can step away from acting in ways that go against their true feelings and spend time focusing on themselves.
What kinds of people come to the studio?
Torigoe
Our clients range in age from their late 30s to their 70s, but many of them want to change who they have been up to now.
Rather than building something up as they might have in their teens or twenties, many seem to want to let go of what they have carried until now and live as a new version of themselves.
I feel that behind the desire to change their bodies is also a wish to change internally.
What changes would you like people to experience through training?
Torigoe
Of course, I want people to notice changes in their bodies, but even more than that, I hope they feel a shift in how they see everyday life.
I aim for changes that gradually brighten their lives as a whole, such as feeling more positive about work or discovering new interests and a desire to take on new challenges.
What are your plans for the future?
Torigoe
In the future, in addition to personal training, I would like to create a place that feels like a community.
I would like to create a place where people can gather casually, incorporating food-related elements such as fermented dishes.
I hope it will be a place where people who are engaging with their health and their own lives can connect and support one another.
Finally, do you have a message for our readers?
Torigoe
I want everyone to realize that they are beautiful and valuable just as they are. By stepping away for a little while from the roles they take on in everyday life and making time to be the person they truly want to be, I believe they can naturally find themselves smiling.
I believe that caring for your body leads to inner growth and improves the quality of your life as a whole.
From the Writer
I am a homemaker and a mother, but when I visit Studio Natura, I can take time to face myself as a woman.
Torigoe's training covers a wide range, from exercises that improve posture to movements that leave you out of breath. As someone who is not particularly athletic, I sometimes find it challenging, but when I manage to do a movement I couldn't do before, I feel a sense of progress and become more positive.
Studio Natura is a place where Torigoe sincerely supports women striving to become their ideal selves. If you feel you want to change but have found it difficult to take action, why not take a new step forward at Studio Natura?
