Deepen Your Practice with Fletcher Pilates Apparatus
Move beyond the mat. Use the resistance and support of the Reformer, Cadillac, and Spine Corrector to improve your alignment and find strength in your own body.
I'm back! So excited to announce my collaboration with Pilates Design School in Kormangala, Bangalore. Here's a look at the beautiful new space and some of the equipment we'll be using.
A side plank variation on the Reformer. This exercise challenges stability and oblique strength, showing how the apparatus can add a new dimension to classic mat exercises.
A flowing sequence on the Cadillac. This apparatus is amazing for developing spinal articulation, flexibility, and control through a wide range of movements.
Using the Reformer to practice a full-body extension. This movement opens the chest and strengthens the entire back of the body, helping to improve posture and lift your mood.
Reclaiming my practice one day at a time on the Cadillac. The equipment provides support and resistance that helps reconnect the mind and body, especially after a period of rest.
A dynamic flow on the Wunda Chair and Spine Corrector. This video shows how different pieces of equipment can be used together to create a challenging and comprehensive workout.
Embracing all kinds of rolls on the Spine Corrector. This apparatus is fantastic for mobilizing the spine, improving flexibility, and releasing tension.
A late-night session on the Spine Corrector. This is a reminder that perfectionism isn't the goal; falling in love with the process of moving is what sets you free.
Throwback to 2018, finding that much-needed release on the Spine Corrector. This piece of equipment is my go-to for improving spinal health and mobility.

About Pilates on Equipment: Deeper Practice
Using Pilates apparatus like the Reformer and Cadillac isn't just about adding resistance to your routine. It is about how these machines provide tactile feedback, allowing us to find length and support where our own bodies might feel stuck. When we work on the Spine Corrector, for instance, we are not chasing a perfect shape; we are finding mobility in the areas of the spine that have been tense from desk work or old injuries. This is where movement starts to feel like a conversation with your own body rather than just a workout.
The apparatus work changes the conversation entirely. While mat work builds a solid foundation, the springs and pulleys of the Reformer provide resistance that forces you to recruit the right muscles, not just the ones you are used to using. On the Cadillac, we can explore spinal articulation in ways that feel safe and supported, which is essential if you are working through physical limitations or recovering from a setback.
I am honest about the reality of these sessions—apparatuses are expensive and space-intensive. This is why I collaborate with dedicated spaces like the Pilates Design School in Koramangala. It allows me to bring this specialized equipment to you without the barrier of owning a massive studio.
Fletcher Pilates is never about crushing reps. Whether I am guiding you on the Wunda Chair or helping you lengthen on the Spine Corrector, the focus remains on Fletcher Percussive Breathing and the quality of your movement. If you are dealing with stiffness or simply want to understand your alignment better, these sessions offer the precision that bodyweight alone sometimes misses. We work on your range of motion, letting the equipment support your joints so you can focus on the 'how' of every movement, not just the 'what'.
