As Joseph Pilates used to say, “If you want to open up a part of the body, elevate it”. Thus he invented the barrels. To invent the barrels, he took a beer keg cut in in half. One half became the spine corrector, and the other half he propped up and attached a ladder this became the ladder barrel. Then he took the steel rings from the keg, attached wooden handles and invented the magic circle.
In this 2 hour workshop, we will review beginner and intermediate level exercises and progressions on the Small Barrel, Spine Corrector and Ladder Barrel. Then you will learn classical advanced and super advanced variations on all the barrels. Last but not least, we will go over how you can use the barrel as a modification tool for clients with injuries and limitations. Come prepared to workout, be inspired and have fun!
