People love feeling strong and aligned, and they gain a sense of accomplishment when they exceed their strength limits. In a traditional Pilates and movement mat class, body-weight exercises are a staple and proven to be an effective way to build strength. When it is time to increase the challenge, or when body-weight exercises are inappropriate, the addition of free weights helps people build strength and confidence.

The Pilates arc is uniquely designed to challenge your body to find new ranges of motion in the spine, hips and shoulders while optimizing support. This piece of Pilates equipment is deceptive. Many of the exercises look straightforward—more or less like floor exercises on an odd looking apparatus. However, as you learn to interact with the arc, deep sensations of muscle activation can be humbling. It is the positioning of the body in relation to the arc that makes the difference, and this course is all about exploring what that means. The brilliance of the Pilates arc gets overlooked, and as we delve into the repertoire, you get to experience the arc’s magic, how aligned and strong you can feel, and how select exercises leave you feeling transformed.

You become equipped with conceptual and kinesthetic understanding that helps you deliver resistance exercises in a whole new way. You also learn how to work from centre to periphery and vice versa to integrate both.
