O:RIN
A play on the word original – gently coaxes the body and mind back into their infant state of equilibrium and unfettered individuality.
about the
founder
O:RIN was founded by Karen Chen in 2019 as a way to share the transformative benefits of Pilates with more people. After growing up in Vancouver, Karen returned to Hong Kong to complete her Master’s degree before starting her career in the finance industry. Karen was diagnosed with a broken immune system and serious chronic back pain in her late 20s. It was then that she turned to the healing movement that only Pilates and Gyrotonic can foster, in rebuilding her body, mind and spirit.
Seeking refuge from the bustling jungle of modern life allowed Karen to discover her love for the mindful movement that Pilates and Gyrotonic offer. Her purpose was to build a community around the love of this movement; enabling people to find that deeper connection to their mind and bodies and to feel at home in the studio.
How does Pilates & Gyrotonic make a difference in her life?
Pilates helps me to tone up my muscles and build my core to prevent me from having another back pain or any posture related issues and maintain my body shape.
Gyrotonic helps me greatly to increase my range of motion, reduce my joint stiffness and improve joint blood circulation, which helps to fight against my arthritis.
