What's your Soul Story?

Born and raised in Tokyo on a U.S. Air Force base, Mari began her competitive figure skating career at the age of 7. After years of training and competing as a National competitor across Japan, she landed her dream job at just 17 years old: skating for Disney on Ice! For the next decade, she toured to 55 countries, and performed for million as icons like Mulan and Princess Jasmine. She was performing for the world, but losing her own spark. Everything changed in the glow of the candles. In the sanctuary of the studio, the noise of judgment falls silent. The dark room is the only space where Mari feels truly free - rediscovering that raw, breathless sensation of flying she first felt as a little girl stepping onto the ice. Mari takes the podium in NYC to move beyond the "performance" and focus on how the ride makes you feel. She is here to create magic and ensure we all show up for each other. Her class is an invitation to leave perfection at the door, feel it all together, and guide you through a journey to find YOUR spark in the flicker of the candlelight.
