The Pilates Arc, also known as the Step Barrel, is a versatile accessory used to support spinal mobility, core activation, and improved movement awareness. In this workshop, participants will learn a range of classical and contemporary exercises designed to enhance flexibility, stability, and control.

We will explore how the curved surface of the Arc can assist with spinal articulation, gentle extension, lateral flexion, and controlled strengthening work. Emphasis will be placed on proper alignment, safe progressions, and effective cueing to help instructors use the Arc as both a supportive and challenging tool.

Participants will also learn how to incorporate the Pilates Arc into mat classes and apparatus-based sessions, using it for both assistance and increased movement challenge. By the end of the workshop, instructors will feel confident integrating the Pilates Arc into their teaching to improve mobility, strength, and overall movement quality.
