Can movement experiences be transformative + transcendent?
This question arose after seven years in the group fitness industry, amplified by a global career at lululemon that afforded me world-class movement experiences from category-defining teachers.
Playground arose as a response to the belief that movement could be more than just fitness. Play is our ethos, the central philosophy that shared experiences and synchronized movement can affect physiological changes in how we connect to ourselves and others.
Founded by José San Miguel in 2026, Playground explores the tension between freedom and control, performance and Play.
