Seeing someone bring their dream to fruition has to be one of the greatest ways that magic shows up in every day life.
Elizabeth Sylvain and I met as freshman and sophomores in college down in Orange County. Going on to our unique paths to pursue the ski mountains in Utah, and beach-bum lifestyle in Australia, we circled back a decade later after landing in the same town; Portland, Oregon.
We told stories of our lives over the years, recounting memories from Elizabeth’s time in New York, and my time traveling around Europe. Not soon after, we started talking about dreams. Elizabeth’s eyes lit up when she spoke about an idea for a Pilates studio; something unique. It was going to be a place where community can come together, in an elegant yet down to earth space, while having quality workouts and in-depth teachings.
For some the dream stops with the vision, but for Elizabeth it was only the beginning. For the next two years, she put everything into building Roll Ups, now located in NE Portland next to the beloved Duality.
Last Thursday Elizabeth brought together her friends, family, and community for the grand opening. Whether you book in a class during your next visit to Portland, or are thinking about starting your own dream – let Elizabeth serve as your reminder that if you take the leap and believe in your idea, it’s possible.
