“Flexible, beautiful, strong”
Nice to meet you all!
Eight years have passed since I moved to Okinawa.
My name is SHOJI and I am an animal flow instructor.
After studying sports and physical education at a university of physical education in the Kanto region, he moved to Okinawa.
As a trainer, I got completely bored with weight training, which I loved so much.
I discovered animal flow, which does not require any equipment,
The more I do it, the more I not only feel the changes in my own body, but I am also fascinated by its movement, breathing, and appearance.
Currently working as a trainer within the prefecture,
As a hobby, he often travels inside and outside the prefecture as a basketball referee.
Next year, I am planning to go on an expedition to Paris as part of my hobby as a referee.
In our class, we will provide you with a feminine, supple, beautiful, and powerful flow.
