Can movement experiences be transformative + transcendent?

This question followed José San Miguel through seven years in the group fitness industry and world-class movement experiences from category-defining teachers during a global career at lululemon.

Playground is the culmination of the belief that movement can transcend physical fitness.

Play is our ethos. We believe 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.
