One-Day Pilates Mat Course

Pilates with Balls and Reformers?

The Pilates method has gone through many phases, but the original remains firmly in place, becoming clearer and more grounded with every passing trend. Joseph Pilates invented over twenty different apparatuses—not just the reformer—and the ball was actually not one of them.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to training; the method can be adapted in countless ways. However, having a solid foundation in the method can be helpful before choosing a course or studio. Many people invest significant amounts in training programs believing it is true Pilates, only to discover partway through—or even at the end—that it does not fully reflect the original method, which can feel disappointing.
