POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
It started with them (swipe for the original duo 🥹), and it led me here.

I’ve always loved this photo of my parents riding through the mountains in the outskirts of Tokyo. I grew up hearing their stories of the pure joy they felt on those bikes... and then Santa brought me my first set of wheels at age 3. Looking back, I don’t think that little girl in Japan could have ever imagined where they would take her.

GUYS!!! I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE - I am officially a @soulcycle Instructor in New York City!!! 🍎🗽

If you’re new here, hi! I’m Mari. I spent 11 years on tour with Disney On Ice and was a competitve skater since I was a 7. For a long time, the ice was my entire identity. When I finally hung up my skates, I truly, deeply wasn’t sure if I’d ever find that feeling again. Then @sarah_jessiegoodhue took me to my first SoulCycle class. (@dacodaclarke ily😘)

So here’s my soul story. The bike is the only place where I feel that same raw, pure, electric joy I once had on the ice. It’s where I finally recognized myself again, and I can’t wait to share that piece of my heart and create magic with you, NYC. 😭💛

To the one who saw it in me first, @alikane1202, thank you for introducing me to the bike. To the entire team at HQ and my Group 45 baddies: thank you for making my biggest dreams come true. Your belief changed everything.

ママ&パパ, arigatou for showing me how to enjoy the ride from day one.

& to NYC… I’m ready to give you everything I’ve got.

Let’s do the damn thing. ⚡️💛
