The Neck Stretcher is the apparatus of the month!

The neck stretcher works the entire body by providing immediate feedback to recruit the correct muscles that help maintain proper alignment of the head, neck, and spine.

As these muscles become stronger and more responsive, the body can maintain an upright position with greater ease and efficiency.

Let’s elongate our spines and eliminate tech head with the neck stretcher!

The archway is the strength building apparatus of the method.

Through hanging and working in many planes of movement, we discover supple, strong pathways.

It helps us train the nervous system and change patterns of thinking, moving, and feeling in profound ways.

Celebrating the Ladder Barrel as apparatus of the month!

We have enjoyed sharing with you the wonders of the Ladder Barrel this month of May!

At Axis, we use our two ladder barrels all the time for strengthening, stretching, and working on so many challenging exercises- like handstands!

Come experience the difference a fully equipped studio can make in your Pilates practice.

Thank you for your service.

Side sit ups on the ladder barrel, the apparatus of the month!

The ladder portion is perfect for setting up the lower body to find your leg and hip strength.

The round surface of the barrel is the ideal support and guide for finding the length of the spine in the side plane.

The ladder barrel is the apparatus of the month!

“A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics.”
