Hi, I’m Jaehoon Yang.
I believe movement has the power to change lives—not only by helping people move better, but by helping them live with greater confidence, resilience, and freedom.
My journey began with a degree in Physical Education at Chung-Ang University, followed by graduate studies in Sports Medicine at Korea University. Since discovering Pilates in 2007, I have dedicated my career to rehabilitation, movement education, and instructor development.
In 2013, I founded Reborn Pilates. What started in a small shared studio has grown into a network of 13 Pilates studios across South Korea. Through the Reborn Pilates Education Association, I have trained more than 3,000 Pilates instructors, helping shape the next generation of movement professionals.
One of the most meaningful milestones in my career was serving as the co-translator of Pilates for Breast Cancer Survivors: A Guide to Recovery, Healing, and Wellness. Working on this book deepened my understanding of evidence-based rehabilitation and reinforced my belief that movement should always be guided by both science and compassion.
My commitment to cancer rehabilitation is also personal. In 2011, my mother was diagnosed with mid-stage colon cancer, and I walked beside her through surgery and a long recovery until she was declared cancer-free. That experience led me to become a certified Clinical Cancer Exercise Specialist through the University of Northern Colorado, and it continues to shape how I approach recovery-focused movement.
Since 2024, I have also been leading Pilates instructor education programs in Japan, sharing rehabilitation-focused Pilates education developed through years of teaching and practical experience in Korea.
Thank you for visiting.
