Experience the Reformer from a different perspective by integrating the Pilates Arc throughout your practice. During class, the Arc may be used on the Reformer or on the floor, allowing you to explore how this versatile piece of equipment can support, challenge, and completely change the feel of familiar movements.

Combining the spring resistance of the Reformer with the curved, supportive surface of the Arc creates new opportunities for strength, mobility, balance, and spinal movement. The Arc may provide support and feedback in one exercise while creating an entirely new stability or strength challenge in another.

Throughout class, you'll explore traditional and contemporary Reformer work alongside Arc-based movement focusing on spinal flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral movement. The Arc also provides valuable feedback for the pelvis, rib cage, and core, helping you become more aware of how your body organizes and responds to movement.

This combination can help you:

• Build deeper core strength and stability

• Improve spinal mobility and articulation

• Open the chest, shoulders, and hips

• Strengthen the back and postural muscles

• Explore rotation and lateral movement

• Improve alignment and body awareness

• Develop greater balance and coordination

• Release areas of unnecessary tension

Don't let "Lengthen" make you think this is simply a stretching class. The Arc can create some surprisingly challenging abdominal, back-body, and stability work—especially when combined with the resistance and movement of the Reformer.

The result is a well-rounded practice that blends strength with mobility, challenge with support, and familiar Reformer work with a fresh movement experience.

Perfect for: Anyone wanting to improve spinal mobility, core strength, posture, flexibility, and overall movement quality while adding greater variety and exploration to their Pilates practice.
