Contents of Module 3:

Module 3 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 Thera Band

Thera Band elastic bands, with their different levels of tension, are used for stretching in the warm-up as well as in many exercises to create resistance that helps the perception of the body center or to tone the shoulder girdle and help its placement.

The use of rubber bands also makes it possible to very effectively mimic Pilates exercises on a machine.

​

The Stability Ball or Swiss Ball

This support has such popularity today that it has now become symbolic of the practice of Pilates. However, it is not easy to use and good control requires an already intermediate practice of Pilates on the mat. It can be used for warming up and for a very wide range of exercise variations. 

For instance:

- as a support to challenge stability and thus allow a better feeling of holding the body center;

- as a point of support that defies balance;

- for intermediate and advanced variants of the basic exercises.

​

The Foam Roll

This 90 cm long foam roller is the latest arrival among the Pilates supports but also one of the most innovative accessories for the practice of Pilates on mats. It allows a feeling of extremely precise stabilization actions and new variations of exercises that focus on fluidity and power at the same time.
