The Teacher
Hi, I’m Annaise.
Five years ago I discovered Pilates and it has been a constant ever since. What started as a reformer obsession grew into a mat practice that shifted something in me.
I came to mat Pilates reluctantly, forced into it through a 500-hour teacher training program. But somewhere in those hours of slowing down, I found something the reformer never gave me. Strength built from within. Breath I could actually feel. A stillness that stayed with me long after the session ended.
I began to crave it. It became an integral part of my peace.
And that's when it became clear to me. Somewhere along the way, the true intention of Pilates had gotten lost in the trends.
One27 exists to bring it back.
The Practice
As an Afro-Latina woman, I know what it feels like to walk into a wellness space and wonder if it was really made for you. The price points that put it out of reach. The rooms that all look the same. The sense that you have to already belong before you're welcome.
One27 is my answer to that.
This studio exists to make intentional movement affordable, approachable, and genuinely inclusive — for beginners, for skeptics, for anyone who has ever felt like the wellness world wasn't built with them in mind. No waitlists. No intimidating environments. Just you, your body, and a practice that meets you exactly where you are.
Movement is for every body. And when we approach it with intention, with presence, with breath, with care, it becomes something more than exercise.
It becomes a practice. It becomes a ritual.
