Joseph Pilates created a beautiful progression on a piece of equipment that is overlooked too often: the Barrel. He created the Barrels to gradually open two very restricted areas of our body: the hips and the shoulders. We will work through this progression from Small Barrel up to the Ladder Barrel in such a way that it will become easier to incorporate the Barrels into almost every workout!
