For advanced practioners, the curved section of the barrel can be used for certain exercises to challenge and advanced the practice, or for deep and advanced stretching.

The ballet stretches. A series of four exercises, it allows the body to get a stable stretch and really opening up the joints and tight muscles. A mixed feeling between pleasure and pain!

Side Sit Ups. Using the legs as a base, client are able to work the oblique and side muscles in an effective way to build strength without forcing or straining.

History of Ladder Barrel Method

Joseph Hubertus Pilates, the creator of the Pilates method, was a beer drinker. Beer was delivered to him in barrels. Once empty, Joe saw an opportunity to play with the beer barrels and its metal rings. He used them to invent a new piece of exercise equipment. The Barrels, Ladder, Spine Corrector and Small Barrel are used in the practice of Pilates to support the flexion and extension of the spine with gravity.
