Contents of Module 2:

Module 2 will teach you how to introduce small materials into your lessons and use them to:

• emphasize certain actions to intensify them or make them more precise or fluid;

• make the exercises accessible in the event of difficulty or disability;

• propose always different variants to the basic exercises.

The MagicRing

This very classic accessory, invented by Pilates himself, allows a range of very interesting variants to the basic exercises.

For instance:

- as a stabilizer for the pelvis, between the ankles or the knees, in all exercises that require strong engagement of the thigh adductors;

- to close open muscle chains (Rolling like a Ball or Open Leg Rocker);

- as a support to challenge stability (side sets of the legs, Breast Stroke);

- as a stabilizer of the shoulder girdle;

- as an aid for stretching the legs in the warm-up.

​

The Mini Stability Ball

This small 30 cm diameter balloon is a real passepartout that lends itself to many uses:

- in the stretching of the column;

- as a point of support that defies balance;

- as a stabilizer for the pelvis if it is placed between the legs;

- as a stabilizer for the shoulder girdle.

​

Toning Balls

Introduced in the 1990s, Toning Balls (500 gram weighted balls) are an essential accessory for arm work and shoulder girdle stability. They allow you to create a real challenge with the strength of the body core in many variations of the basic exercises.
