Recommended Equipment for your Pilates classes
Below are some of my top recommendations for small Pilates equipment:
A very versatile piece of equipment which I highly recommend. Cheap, portable and a great addition to your pilates practice.
These light, medium and heavy strength resistance bands are great for your pilates classes to add a little something extra.
These resistance bands are unique as they are two meters long giving them extra versatility in your Pilates classes.
The Pilates Magic Circle creates moderate resistance when compressed to strengthen your core, improve your flexibility and target a wide range of muscle groups.
Premium Neoprene Coating: The premium neoprene coating makes these dumbbells easy to grip and quick to clean
Ergonomic Comfort Grip: The medium-sized ergonomic grip is easy to hold for maximum comfort and safety during your workout
Anti-roll Design: The flattened top and bottom prevents the dumbbells from rolling when placed on the floor, as well as allowing them to be used for pilates
Foam Roller
The Sissel Pilates Foam Roller Pro Soft offers a softer mix of material making it more comfortable, stable and more reactive to pressure, it is suited to those who have poor balance control. It has multiple uses including Pilates, neurofascial techniques, & rehabilitation.
You can't really go wrong with these blocks. They are really handy with stretches.
