Yoshitaka Koda lebt in Kyoto, Japan. Er wurde 1987 vom Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado, USA, als Rolfer zertifiziert. Bis 1993 absolvierte er eine Weiterbildung bei The Guild for Structural Integration und 1996 beim Dr. Ida Rolf Institute. Im Jahr 2008 wurde er als Feldenkrais-Practitioner zertifiziert. Yoshi lebte von 1984 bis 1989 in den USA. In dieser Zeit entdeckte er Continuum mit Gael Rosewood, Emilie Conrad und Susan Harper.

For 30 years Yoshi has been instrumental in bringing international teachers to Japan. In 2000 he named his office "Chronic-Students" and since then organized workshops in the fields of somatics, psychology, energetic healing, osteopathy, including Structural Integration and Continuum. The Continuum teachers he has brought to Japan include Susan Harper, Gael Rosewood, Amber Elizabeth Lynn Gray, Donnalea Van Vleet Goelz and Linda Rabin. Yoshi is the translator for all of the workshops he organizes and was the official translator for the Japanese Feldenkrais training program.

In 2015 Yoshi was authorized as a Continuum Movement teacher by Continuum Movement, Inc. In 2023 he qualified for membership in the Continuum Teachers Association. His teaching focuses on how to help ourselves to be adjustable, adaptable, resilient, and flexible in our physical, emotional, and mental reality through the creative movement, breaths and sounds of Continuum. He has also developed a teaching practice, “Diaphragmics”, to transmit these Continuum concepts with a more structural focus. Yoshi offers these classes both online and in-person in Kyoto and Tokyo.
