Philosophy
Elsewhere Mvmt is not an escape from your current reality, but an opportunity to lay the foundation for a reality you dream of.
At Elsewhere, we create experiences that offer a sanctuary for the introspective dreamer to explore the profound interplay between mind and body—revealing how intentional movement and mindset can transform the very way you inhabit the world.
There is no singular path to alignment. This is a return to self, not an escape.
Mvmt Facilitators
Chandler Farren
Chandler is a seasoned movement educator with over a decade of experience in fitness, yoga, Pilates, and breathwork across Los Angeles and New York City. With a foundation rooted in anatomy, alignment, and safety, Chandler’s teaching combines precision with creativity—guiding students into practices that feel at once grounding and liberating. Their background in dance and theater infuses each session with artistry, rhythm, and a touch of playfulness.
On retreat, Chandler weaves together Pilates, yoga, and breathwork to create a holistic journey for body, mind, and spirit. Expect a balance of strengthening flows, restorative practices, and mindful breathing that opens new space for clarity and calm. Whether you arrive as a curious beginner or an experienced mover, you’ll be welcomed with clarity, care, and a dash of humor—leaving the retreat feeling more embodied, connected, and joyfully alive.
Élan Sorrell
While Élan’s roots lie deep within the arts, he developed an appreciation for athletics early on. Growing up, he found solace in everything from drawing and music to martial arts and cross country training. He studied architecture at UC Berkeley and after a brief career in sustainable design, was called to another purpose. "From building buildings to building bodies," a client once said.
Today, he's a musical artist working as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer. He describes his style of coaching as firm yet positive and entertaining. Using the athletic conditioning principles of stamina, speed, strength and agility, he develops well-rounded individuals who are prepared to move through everyday life with confidence and grace.
Élan provides a high level of encouragement and expertise to all those attending retreats; whether you’re at the beginning stages of your fitness journey or you’re a seasoned veteran, there is a place for you at Elsewhere Mvmt.
