Hi, I’m Annaise! I fell in love with Pilates 4 years ago, and it has been a constant in my life ever since. After countless classes, at home tutorials, and even buying my own reformer, I felt called to pursue certification for myself, enrolling in a 500-hour certification program. Prior reformer enthusiast, the mat seemed sooo boring to me until I began this pursuit. Forced to practice on the mat for countless hours, I began to realize that it was so much more rewarding. Building strength from your own body weight, watching yourself get visibly stronger FAST, and being able to practice anywhere without having to get on a waitlist. I was changed. I could actually flow through the moves. I could focus on my breath. I could achieve a sense of calm even if I was starting to sweat. I began to crave my practice and it became an integral part of my peace. This is around the time when it dawned on me that the intention of Pilates has been lost through the trends.

The Mission

My mission is to uphold the original intention by encouraging spiritual wellness through the movement of our bodies. I want people to experience Pilates as more than exercise. I want them to adopt it as a practice that helps them carry tranquility, focus, and faith into everything they do. One27 is a sanctuary for people of all backgrounds, religions, and beliefs. My goal is to give you the space to delve into your practice both spiritual and physical, because I envision a world where spiritual wellness is embraced as an integral piece of overall health.
