PILATES MAT
If anything, make sure you’re using a cushioned Pilates mat. They offer more support than Yoga mats for the knees, hips and back.
RESISTANCE BANDS
These long stretchy bands provide support with some exercises and stretches. They also provide strength training with other exercises.
PILATES MAGIC CIRCLE
A classic piece of Pilates equipment, perfect to compliment your at-home Pilates workouts. This provides additional resistance.
LIGHT HAND WEIGHTS
These are the perfect addition to build more strength with your Pilates workouts. Between 1-5 pound weights are ideal.
LOOPED RESISTANCE BANDS
Similar to long resistance bands, these can add variety, support and extra strength based work to your Pilates workouts.
ANKLE WEIGHTS
Weights that are strapped to the ankles provide additional strength work for the legs. Between 2-5 pound weights are good for Pilates workouts.
YOGA BLOCKS & STRAP
These can be used for extra support and with some workouts provide extra muscular engagement. The strap is useful for stretches.
FOAM ROLLER
About 39 inches in length, this unstable piece of equipment can help foster greater awareness of stabilizing muscles.
GLIDING DISCS
A fun addition to add variety with exercises that are more classic to the Pilates studio. This brings more strength into your practice.
SMALL BALL
About 9 inches, this squishy and unstable ball can provide extra awareness and engagement during your Pilates workouts.
YOGA BLANKET
If you’d like extra support for your knees, this is a perfect addition. The blanket is also used in some workouts and stretches.
LARGE EXERCISE BALL
This ball is used to work on balance and you can try new exercises as well. The size of the ball is determined by your height.
BOSU BALL
This ball is more stable than a full exercise ball and because of this you can do additional exercises and variations with the Bosu Ball.
FOLDING CHAIR
A simple addition for seated or standing classes. You just want to make sure your chair is stable and can support you.
WOOD DOWEL
A simple broomstick handle will do the trick. You can use this for balance and stretch the shoulders with the dowel.
