Located in Asunción, the Paraguayan-Japanese Centre is widely recognised as one of the city’s leading cultural and educational institutions. Established through cooperation between Paraguay and Japan, the centre has evolved into a dynamic space that hosts everything from language courses and artistic workshops to sporting and wellness activities.
Its gym and recreational programmes are particularly notable for their inclusivity, welcoming children, young people, adults, and older residents alike. From martial arts to fitness training, the centre consistently promotes physical health alongside discipline, creativity, and social connection. Therefore, their mission is reflected in the newly announced Pilates sessions. The free pilates classes align with the institution’s goal of encouraging healthy habits.
