Course details
The Ped-O-Pul is described by Joseph Pilates as the “Ideal Body Perfector and Relaxor” on the accompanying exercise chart. With it’s deceptively simple set up of a tall vertical pole, with a short horizontal pole at the top from which two springs with handles attach, the Ped-O-Pul is thought by some, to be named for the pedalling and pulling actions, as earlier versions had a bicycle seat attached. Others believe it originated from “ped” meaning foot and “pul” from pulling the springs.
The training will cover the Archival and Classical exercises as well as exploring how this incredible piece fits into the rest of the system.
Assessment is in the form of a written session plan based on a theoretical case study and a practical observation to be submitted after the training.
You are welcome to attend the training either in person or live stream if you have access to the equipment.

“The course was jam-packed full of content and Jo’s knowledge and experience went far beyond what I was expecting. I loved learning about the history of Pilates with her in depth knowledge of the elders and Joseph Pilates and this level of detail really highlighted the high quality of the training.”
