Pilates in the Sky + Founder & Creator Stories

Join us for an intimate morning of movement, meaningful conversations and new connections in a stunning glass penthouse at Hotel on Rivington, overlooking the New York City skyline.

Think floor-to-ceiling glass windows, panoramic city views and a complimentary matching workout set for every guest to wear and take home! ☁️✨

We’ll kick things off with a 45-minute classical mat Pilates class led by Jess Kolb, followed by coffee, light bites and an honest conversation with three women who’ve taken unconventional paths to build careers and businesses on their own terms.

From leaving corporate careers to building businesses, creating content and landing brand partnerships, we’ll share the real stories, challenges and lessons behind making it work.

But this isn’t just about hearing our stories. Through guided conversation prompts, you’ll have the chance to share your own experiences and connect with people who get it.

Come for the Pilates. Leave with fresh perspectives and new people in your corner. ♡
