Pilates & Or is nearing the launch of its second studio with its new East Boca Raton location hosting a grand opening celebration from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2. Founded in Santa Barbara, CA, Pilates & Or is home to a contemporary and focused practice of Reformer Pilates.
At Pilates & Or, classes highlight the creative choreography designed by founder Or Kahlon, a distinguished Royal Ballet dancer with more than 20 years of experience training celebrity clients around the globe. A former soloist with the Royal Ballet of Spain and Nederlands Dans Theater, Or gained recognition as the winner of the inaugural season of So You Think You Can Dance in Israel. Drawing from his extensive dance background, Or has perfected the Pilates technique and crafted a unique method focusing on precision and athleticism in movement.
The new studio at 141 NW 20th St., Suite D2, boasts 15 Pilates reformers and an inviting welcome area. He has assembled a skilled team of instructors trained in his method, many of whom have backgrounds in ballet and extensive Pilates experience, offering a rich diversity of expertise from various parts of the world. New students can sign up for their first class for just $25.
“I’m beyond thrilled to bring my unique ballet-inspired movement to the Boca Raton community,” Kahlon says. “Pilates is very popular right now, which can make it hard to find a quality studio that is technique-focused. My choreography is inspired by my love for ballet, which sets us apart from other studios by bringing a challenging yet artistic touch to every class. My goal is that, together, we will elevate your Pilates practice while building a deeper appreciation for intuitive movement and technique.”
Its method promotes smart and intuitive movement by blending strength training and HIIT into dynamic 55-minute flow classes, providing a powerful workout that transforms the body and mind. Clients enjoy a distinct Pilates experience that fortifies the core, shapes muscles and improves posture and flexibility. The brand offers a wide range of virtual and in-studio classes at its locations in Santa Barbara and Boca Raton, along with select luxury partner facilities.
