Studio Teacher Feature: Meet Or Reitman!

Originally a dancer at the Alvin Ailey School of American Dance, Or Reitman became interested in other forms of bodily expressions when he searched for treatment for his own low back injury and sciatica. He completed a 600 hour comprehensive Pilates Apparatus and Mat training at The Lab in NYC in 2014 and has been teaching ever since.

His teaching is further influenced by continuing education in and outside of the Pilates repertoire including workshops on neurological conditioning, mentorships in Rolfing, and training in Reiki.

He has worked with clients with issues including scoliosis, osteoporosis, pre/post-Natal, injury, injury prevention, Pre/Post-Surgery, maintenance and rehabilitation,and many more.

Or teaches that being attuned to the body/mind connection can lead to great healing in one’s life. His Pilates sessions draw from all of his unique trainings to give his clients the space to find freedom through movement and agility and longevity through sustainable methods regardless of goal or ability.

In short, he’s pretty amazing! 😊

DM me to book a session at KZP with Or today! He is in the city teaching through the holidays and would love to work with you!

Breathe, believe, receive…

When I left Colorado to live in, first Sag Harbor and then Paris in 2008, I had made a conscious (on some level) choice to escape.

I was TIRED of my people pleasing ways, had a lot of growing, feeling, healing and mourning to do…

I was exhausted from pretending that everything was OK…

That paintbrush gets HEAVY!!!

And I thought that there was nowhere more romantic to process the melancholy coursing through my soul than in Paris - Sag Harbor was a pit stop.

But when a dear friend I met in Paris, who had also lost her mother at a very young age, encouraged me to move to New York, start seeing a therapist, do the hard, uncomfortable work, and put my dreams into action…

I did just that.

And I’ll never forget the feeling of landing in New York City with this clear intention.

I knew that I was worthy of healing. I knew that I loved, and was relatively good at, what I do, and I knew that New York City was the place to do it.

With relative ease (don’t get me wrong - this took real work and being told “no,” a number of times), and steadfast conviction, I met the right people, landed in the right places, and within 2 years opened my first studio on East 66th between Park and Madison!

A HUGE thank you to those who encouraged me and to my absolutely amazing clients for your support along the way, and to this day!!!

From the bottom of my heart, I love you all‼️❤️

So, for whoever needs to hear this, if there is something you are dreaming of and working towards that feels somehow impossible… pause the DO-ing part of the work, and meditate on the believing piece… and do so until you see it so clearly it already “exists.”

Because, on some level, it does… and you’ve got this!

And, I love you.

There is still time to experience Pilates at its finest, discover the healing powers of the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua, and savor the delectable and nourishing cuisine prepared by the one-and-only Scotty Craig with us (2/2 - 2/8)…

‼️ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT‼️

🧘‍♀️Discover the Magic of Pilates in Nicaragua

Enjoy Daily Pilates with myself and my personal Teacher and Mentor - the world renowned Master Teacher, Amy Taylor Alpers , while over-looking the Pacific Ocean on a gorgeous beach, in paradise… 😍

Your day will begin with my sunrise Pilates flow, followed by an inspiring group discussion that will set the tone and intention for the day.

After breakfast and some nourishing down time, you’ll enjoy an invigorating and ever inspiring class led by Amy followed by lunch.

Finally, a restorative class will also be held in the evenings as the sun dips majestically into the Pacific before we all gather for dinner.

swoon…😌

🌴Relax in Paradise

Hacienda Iguana is an illustrious destination for surfers from around the world, but has somehow still managed to remain somewhat of a mystery to those outside of the surf scene. And surfers like it that way… 😉

It boasts a vibrant community, breath-taking sunsets, and gorgeous beachfront homes. I can’t wait to share it with those of you who have yet to experience the magic of this healing and deeply special place.

Between Pilates classes and workshops you will be encouraged to indulge in ample relaxation by the pool, massages and other spa services, a surf lesson, to journal or read that book you’ve been dying to finish...

👨‍🍳 Savor Healthy Gourmet Cuisine

Scotty’s famous Nica smoothies, chia pudding, fresh local fish grilled and served with a variety of local veggies cooked to perfection, lobster tacos, ceviche and tuna poke are among a few of the menu items you can expect to delight in…. 🤤

We hope to see you there!

Love,
Kevyn, Amy, Christy & Scotty

M O N D A Y M A N T R A✨

Believe in magic…🪄✨✨✨

The mantra for this week feels especially fitting since it is 11/11!

I also find it fitting and meaningful that my Pilates studios both are located in suite #1, here in the city Suite 1P to be specific l, and my gorgeous new healing space in The Hamptons, Suite #1 as the number 1 symbolizes oneness and unity…

Fitting because Pilates is, and always has been, such a brilliant equalizer.

This is perhaps why I love it so much… and is most certainly why I was so drawn to surfing over the summer.

There is something so powerful about both Pilates and surfing that strips us of our self importance and of the qualitative labels that pretend to hold significance….

and instead reminds us profoundly of our human-ness.

Of our ONE-ness.

This week, and moving forward, let’s stay in touch with ourselves and the parts of ourselves we see in others…

Now is the time to turn to love, to come together, and experience the magic of profound healing on a global scale…

You’ve got this.

I see you…

I love you…

I AM you…

Love,
Kev

As the days get shorter, I welcome hibernation…

This is the time of year to take stock of what is inside.

How is it going in there?

How long as it been since you lifted up the hood of your life to have prolonged, nonjudgmental look?

To reflect on what is working and what isn’t.

Or to find stillness around a big decision your are in the midst of making?

To get everyone else’s voices out of your head, so that you can hear yourself again…

To reconnect with your intuitive knowing.

And with the powerful force that is nature, being in the presence of other like-minded women, PILATES and your SELF.

As the days get shorter and shorter, I invite you to nurture your introspection in a powerful way with and I, under the light of the sweet Nica sunshine (2/2 - 2/8).

This wildly transformative experience will include:

💞Deep & meaningful themed conversations
💪🏽Daily Pilates with myself and with Amy
🥗Nourishing meals prepared by your own Private Chef with optional wine served at dinner
✨Luxurious, beachfront accommodations
🛥️A sunset catamaran tour
💆‍♀️A massage
🚙Airport Transportation
💝A thoughtfully curated gift bag
🪄A workshop on Intuition led by Amy Alpers
😌Plenty of delicious down time
🤩So. Much. More.

I will not take one breath for granted.

A gentle reminder that this is not a dress rehearsal and as far as we know, we don’t get a “do over…”

So, hug those you love extra tight, laugh out loud, dance like no one is watching, do the things that inspire growth, forgive freely, and live…

Live your beautiful life.

Love,
Kev

This post is dedicated to Aunt Barbara. We will all miss and love you forever.✨✨✨

Centered and sentient I reflect greatness as bright and mysterious as the fullest moon on the darkest night…

For whoever needs to hear this:

No matter how dark and heavy your circumstances may feel at times, the more you align your personal thoughts and actions with the goodness that you value and desire…

the more inner light you create for yourself…

the brighter and lighter your life will become.

Not because you blindly ignore the darkness that is inherent, natural and essential, to the experience that we call life, but because you decide consciously and on purpose to not let it take over…

You allow the light to mingle with the darkness creating a mesmerizingly beautiful and mysterious work of art that is representative of your wholeness…

Of your greatness.🌕✨

Let your light shine this week, my friends.

Amidst the darkness, let it shine.

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Love You,
Kev

Real footage of me running to tell everyone about my upcoming AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Women’s Retreat in Nica (2/2-2/8)!

This will be the 5th retreat that I will have had the honor of leading, and the 4th on this magical beach in Nicaragua...

However, it will be the first ever with the legendary as our inspiring guest presenter, can someone pinch me!

The first time I met Amy I was just 19 starting my freshman year of college at CU.

Naive little me thought, “I’ll easily be able to slip a Pilates Teacher Training Certificate in along with my college studies.”

Little did I know the intensity of the Teacher Training Program at The Pilates Center had other plans.😬🫣

So… 3+ years later, I graduated with my Teaching Certificate from arguably the best Pilates school in the world, along with my Integrative Physiology Degree, and shortly after I completed the Master Teacher Training through The Pilates Center.

What I loved most about the Master Teacher Training was learning about all of the different lineages of Pilates, in depth, from teachers who had studied with the different elders. What an amazing opportunity it was to fill out my perspective on what Pilates is from so many different viewpoints and angles.

All of which helped to inform a perspective that is unique to me. Aligned with my truth and lived experience.

My upcoming AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Women’s Retreat in Nica (2/2-2/8) is going to center very much around Intuition and finding your inner voice, your personal truth, both in life as well as in Pilates. As a student of the work, as well as a teacher.

Because there is SO. MUCH. NOISE. out there.

It is easy to get lost amidst what is uniquely yours and what is not.

Join us and embrace a profound opportunity to hear yourself again. Because under all of that noise is some potent wisdom.

Wisdom that has always been there... just waiting to be excavated... let’s mine for gold together in Nica, ladies!

DM me if you have any questions or would like to reserve one of the few spots still available. It would be our profound honor to have you on this unique, intimate, and wildly transformative experience of a lifetime!

(p.s inquire about the discount available for Teachers, students and return retreaters). 🙂

With Love,
Kev
