About

The In Movement vision.

In Movement Pilates was born from a shared belief that how you move changes everything.

Our philosophy

A sanctuary for transformation.

Co-founded by Devon Dionne and Gina Chai, the studio combines decades of elite experience with a dedication to whole-person wellness. Together they created a place where movement becomes a practice, and deep awareness replaces sheer effort.

We offer expert instruction in Pilates and the GYROTONIC® Method, two distinct practices united by one belief: that your body is the home your mind and soul live in. When you tend to it with intention, everything inside has room to thrive.

Our teachers work with a wide range of clients, from high-profile individuals and professional athletes to those recovering from injury, often in collaboration with medical professionals. The goal is always the same: genuine transformation that leaves you stronger, more connected, and more present in your body, your mind, and your community.

Devon Dionne

Devon's story starts on the professional dance stages of New York, where she came to understand that movement is the foundation of longevity and true physical mastery. That immersion in the world of high-performance artistry introduced her to the GYROTONIC® Method and ignited a passion for teaching that has only deepened since 2004.

After moving to Los Angeles in 2005, Devon built her reputation as a specialist in human biomechanics. Her approach has been shaped by work alongside anti-aging physicians, a certification in holistic health counseling, and years spent exploring wellness traditions from around the world as a podcast host. With more than twenty years of teaching behind her, she holds numerous advanced certifications in the GYROTONIC® Method and is a Balanced Body certified Pilates instructor.

Devon partners closely with medical professionals to guide clients through complex injuries, designing personalized programs that restore freedom, strength, and a deeply integrated sense of well-being.

Drawing from her own journey navigating scoliosis, Gina specializes in an anatomically intelligent approach to movement.

By combining fluid, circular power with structural integrity, she creates a pathway for clients to look, feel, and perform at their absolute best.
