Written by a team of our expert tutors and including a comprehensive manual to refer to, this course is hands-on, experiential and fun!

You will also look at exercise variations using the full foam roller, the weighted ball and the Pilates ring.

As well as these pieces of small equipment, you will also receive an introduction to the Pilates Spine Corrector, a classic piece of Pilates equipment, the large Fit Ball, and the Spikey Ball for myofascial release using Pilates exercises.

Generate new opportunities for progressions, adaptations and variations to the Pilates exercises, using equipment to change the focus of the movement.
