For Estel Chong, movement has always been a passion. A former professional dancer, Estel spent years training and performing at the highest level — until an injury changed everything. During her rehabilitation journey, Estel discovered Pilates, a practice that not only helped her heal but also reignited her love for movement in a transformative new way.

 

What started as recovery soon evolved into a new calling. Inspired by the profound impact Pilates had on her own body and mind, Estel pursued certification to become a Pilates instructor. Today, she is the proud founder of Flow with Estel, a Pilates brand dedicated to guiding clients towards mindful, sustainable strength and resilience.

While home-grown companies like Staytion, CoCRE8, and The Great Room have transformed the business landscape with inspiring spaces for start-ups and creatives, Core Collective infuses that same spirit of collaboration and innovation into movement, treatment, and holistic care.
