What is Ladder Barrel Pilates?
Think of the Ladder Barrel as the ultimate sidekick for your Pilates practice. Its curved surface supports and stabilizes your body as you stretch, twist, and strengthen muscles you didn’t even know you had.
-
Arch Over the Barrel to lengthen your spine and release tension in your back.
-
Use the Rungs as anchors for core-building moves—like dynamic leg lifts and deep oblique twists.
-
Control Your Movement so you can hone in on alignment and posture, helping you stand taller and move with more grace.
If you’ve been craving a Pilates exercise that hits all the right places without feeling forced or overly complicated, the Ladder Barrel might just be your new favourite apparatus.

"I've never done pilates before and was a bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to do some exercises because I have problems with one of my knees.
...I really appreciated how she was able to quickly make some exercises easier for me if I was having problems doing one.
She made me feel so welcome and is truly is such a great instructor... I will definitely be going back again to see her."
