ABOUT THE FOURS

OUR STUDIO

A BOUTIQUE MOVEMENT STUDIO IN BROOKLYN, NY

At THE FOURS, we teach a cycle of movement formats designed to build resilience, strength, and presence—beginning in the body and extending into everyday life.

Our work blends classical mat Pilates with somatic movement—combining structure, strength, and nervous-system awareness into one cohesive practice.

This work is grounded, intentional, and relational. It is designed to be practiced over time, not consumed quickly.

EXPLORE THE FORMATS

OUR PHILOSOPHY

ROOTED PRACTICE. STABLE GROUND.

All movement at THE FOURS begins with grounding.

We believe the body needs a sense of stability before it can change. Before strength, there must be support. Before expression, there must be roots.

Our philosophy is earth-based: we prioritize structure, alignment, and nervous-system safety so the body knows where it is and what it can rely on. This allows movement to feel steady rather than precarious—and progress to feel trustworthy rather than forced.

Here, practice is not about pushing upward. It’s about settling downward first.

Grounding is not a phase we move past—it is the foundation we return to in every class.

OUR PRACTICE

RHYTHM. FLOW. RETURN.

Our curriculum is built around a cycle of four formats, each training a different aspect of the body and nervous system.

Each format supports the nervous system differently, with some being more grounding and others more activating, depending on what the body needs.

Like water, this practice is meant to circulate.

Each format can be experienced on its own, but the real intelligence of the work emerges through repetition and flow—from structure, to strength, to restoration, to integration, and back again.

Rather than chasing intensity or variety, we emphasize:

    •    Continuity over time

    •    Adaptability without collapse

    •    Rhythm instead of force

This is a practice you return to—again and again—allowing the body to soften, reorganize, and respond with a new level of depth.

While each format can stand alone, the work is most effective when practiced together—as a cycle.

OUR PROCESS

TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PRESENCE.

At THE FOURS, we are not interested in movement that burns out the system.

We are interested in fire that refines—heat that transforms without destroying.

Integration emerges when structure and flow meet presence. When effort is honest. When sensation is allowed to complete.

This kind of fire doesn’t always announce itself immediately. Often, its effects are felt later—as clarity, confidence, or a quieter nervous system.

Integration is not something to perform—it unfolds as the system has time to process and settle. We trust this process. And we teach in a way that allows it to unfold.

OUR COMMUNITY

BREATH. SPACE. SHARED ATTENTION.

Community at THE FOURS is not built through hype or performance. It is built through shared breath and mutual respect.

We practice in small groups so attention can circulate freely—between teacher, student, and space. This creates an atmosphere that feels breathable, spacious, and alive.

Here, you are not asked to disappear into the room. Nor are you asked to perform for it.

We value:

    •    Attunement over comparison

    •    Listening over reacting

    •    Community that supports

This is a space shaped by shared breath, mutual respect, and attention—not performance or comparison.

OUR COMMITMENT

WE TAKE THIS WORK SERIOUSLY.

We are committed to:

    •    Teaching with integrity

    •    Holding supportive containers

    •    Honoring the body’s intelligence

    •    Supporting practices that can last

This work is relational, cyclical, and alive. It requires teachers and students who handle it with the reverence and care it deserves.

OUR FOUNDER

ABOUT CG

CG is an artist, actor, and movement teacher with a decade of experience guiding others into deeper strength, presence, and embodiment.

With a background in engineering and a deep love of science, her teaching blends anatomy, somatic awareness, and nervous-system intelligence—drawing on the body’s natural design to cultivate stability, mobility, and resilience.

Central to her approach is expanding the body’s capacity to hold more: more sensation, more emotion, more life. Her classes weave precision with freedom, discipline with play—so movement becomes not performance, but presence.

Rooted in the belief that the body is sacred, CG sees teaching as an act of humble service—a way to help others feel safe in their bodies, grounded in their presence, and reconnected to their expressive, essential self.

WORK PRIVATELY WITH CG

CLIENT REVIEWS

  • “C.G.’s private somatic movement session was something I didn’t even know I needed. For the first time, I felt what it truly means to be here now, not just in theory, but in my body. She gently guided me to soften areas I hadn’t even realized I was holding tension, and something deep shifted. I left our session feeling like a different version of myself — more present, more grounded, more me. Her practices have stayed with me, and weaving them into my daily life has helped me integrate the kind of presence I’ve always longed for. I’m so grateful.”

The class has a nice rhythm that allows you to push your body safely, and the space and music and equipment set a lovely environment to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. Will be back for sure!”
