| Review of High and Wunda Chair w/ Bob Liekens
Joseph Pilates created this unique piece of equipment as his own version of the "Home Reformer." This underused piece of equipment tends to be misunderstood and therefore left out of sessions. There are so many Chair exercises that can be incorporated into a client's session. Learn how to go deeper into these exercises by understanding their underlying principles and utilizing this vocabulary sequentially with flow. This workshop will enable you to challenge your clients and take them to the next level with a different and exciting workout.
