Description

Menezes Method® Ball Level 1 eBook

Discover how to use the Pilates ball to add variety, challenge and greater body awareness to your matwork with the Menezes Method® Ball Level 1 eBook.

Designed for Pilates instructors, students and practitioners, this Level 1 program introduces a progressive series of exercises using the ball to improve core control, balance, coordination, mobility, posture and movement precision.

The ball adds an unstable surface and an extra element of resistance, encouraging the body to work more intelligently through the abdominals, spine, hips, shoulders and supporting muscles.

The emphasis is not simply on making exercises harder. The Menezes Method® approach focuses on maintaining correct alignment, controlled movement and efficient muscle recruitment throughout each exercise.

This eBook is ideal for anyone wanting to expand their Pilates repertoire with practical ball-based exercises that can be incorporated into individual practice, studio sessions or instructor programming.
