THE PEDIPOLE

In this detailed overview of the wonderful device that is the Pilates Pedipole, Brett Howard shares a variety of exercises that you can follow, along with his brilliant cues for stabilizing and aligning the body. It's one of the most challenging pieces of apparatus in the studio because there's little to support you. As Brett says, you have to pull in and up instead of moving forward or back as you move your limbs—it's like tying a knot in a piece of string, when you pull on the ends the knot tightens, and that's exactly what happens to your core when you work with the Pedipole.
