Suitable for all levels of fitness, the Bodhi Suspension System stimulates the deep support systems in the body to create integrated, fluid and functional movement. Exercises on the Bodhi can be gentle and rehabilitative, challenging and athletic, and sometimes, incredibly acrobatic.
MOTR may look like a roller but it’s much MOre Than a Roller. MOTR’s versatility offers unlimited programming and limitless results. It’s a complete gym in a 43” cylinder. Improve your strength, balance, agility, sports conditioning, cardio – even Pilates! Then stow in a closet when you are done.
Anatomy in Three Dimensions is a fun, hands-on way to learn musculoskeletal anatomy by building all of the major muscle groups out of clay and attaching them to a specially designed skeleton. You’ll gain a greater understanding of the body as you build it from the inside out. We offer courses for everyone, and courses more specific to movement educators of all kinds.
Designed for Pilates teachers, our mentor series will expand your expertise and help you address very specific health conditions. Learn how to design programs for sports-specific conditioning, prenatal and postpartum clients, shoulder and spine conditions, foot and ankle injuries, and so much more.
The CoreAlign was created to enable natural, flowing full-body exercises with independent limb training. It integrates posture, strength, flexibility, balance, control and proprioception in all functional positions. It’s a great rehabilitation tool for physical therapists and their patients and a great environment for high-level sports conditioning.
