Joseph Pilates said many times that “I designed my equipment to be extra muscles” both to aid him as the teacher and to aid the client in receiving something from the exercise that they could not get otherwise.

In this workshop we will explore the purpose of the springs, straps, handles, etc in the role as “extra muscles”.  What exactly is their job in each exercise and if we let them do their job, what do we the client receive?  As teachers, how do we use these “extra muscles” to their full advantage so that our clients can achieve maximum results” elongated core, connections, better breathing, more supple spine, uniform development?

The ramifications of this truth are powerful yet simple and will transform your teaching and personal practice.
