what we believe

At Playground, our core values anchor our mission to offer you freedom in movement. Our Teachers ground their offerings in service to these pillars, ensuring that every practice helps you imagine a freer, more fortified world both internally and externally.

Play
as Practice

Play is a biological imperative. We ground our bodies’ physical practice in expressive, exploratory movement as a mechanism for unlocking our potential.

Radical
Togetherness

Our practices are for everybody — and every body. We honor the magic of shared experience and offer ours in service to collective freedom.

Embodied
knowledge

Our practices begin with intuitive, self-guided movement. We honor our bodies’ innate wisdom before moving into guided instruction.

Devotion
as freedom

We believe physical practice is a radical act of love for ourselves. We deserve our effort and respect the rigor of Playground’s offerings.

Somatic
Service

Supporting our physical and energetic bodies allows us to serve the world from a place of regulation and stewardship.

at playground, we believe that everybody — and every body — deserves celebration.
