July Apparatus of the Month
Alana Wilbur owner of BOWA Pilates
Throughout July, the Spine Corrector inspired a range of creative movement reminding us why this versatile piece remains a cornerstone of the Pilates Method.
The Spine Corrector helps practitioners strengthen deep core connections, improve mobility, and develop the control needed for more advanced work. Its arc creates space to open the chest, lengthen the spine, and refine the connection between the body and mind.
It’s a quiet powerhouse, building the strength, alignment, and awareness that carry through the Pilates Method.
Community Highlights

Introducing August Apparatus of the Month: Wunda Chair
Studio Featured: Everybody Pilates
The Wunda Chair is one of the most challenging and versatile pieces in the Classical Pilates system. Originally designed by Joseph Pilates as a dual-purpose piece of furniture and exercise equipment, this seemingly simple chair offers a full-body workout that demands strength, balance, and control.
Its versatility makes it ideal for both studio and home use, providing endless opportunities to progress and refine technique.
