Who We Are
We're dreamers. We're believers. We're movers.
Elsewhere is a multimodality movement company rooted in Los Angeles, blending the expertise of Pilates, yoga, and strength training into one progressive practice. Our classes bring together the precision of Pilates, the awareness of yoga, and the resilience of strength to support bodies that move well for a long time.
We believe the future of movement lives in the balance between modalities. Breath, alignment, mobility, strength, and recovery are all part of the same conversation, and our approach is designed to help people build a sustainable relationship with movement that supports longevity and nervous system health.
Our classes are intelligent, effective, and fun. We challenge the body while creating space for breath, awareness, and strength to develop together.
Elsewhere is also a community-centered movement space. We host local Los Angeles pop ups, workshops, and collaborative events designed to deepen your practice and bring people together through movement, learning, and shared experience.
This is movement that supports the long game.

While Élan’s (pronounced A-lawn) roots lie deep within artistry, his appreciation for athletics stems from his fusion of fitness and art. Growing up he found purpose in everything from illustration and music to martial arts and cross country. Unknowingly, each pursuit has always enhanced his practice of another.
After graduating with a BA in Architecture from Berkeley he began a short lived career in the industry. Soon after, the need for wellness lifestyle changes became apparent. "From building buildings to building bodies," a client once said. Longevity became a major pillar long before the buzz word gained significant influence online. Turns out, longevity had always been an intuitive part of him.
Today, he's an artist excelling as a fitness professional with multiple years experience. He describes his style of coaching as firm yet positive and entertaining, using athletic conditioning principles to develop well-rounded human beings.
