It’s not really about difficulty—it’s about access. When I work on the Reformer or Cadillac, these pieces of apparatus give me the specific support I need to find a depth in my spine that gravity sometimes prevents on the floor. My approach to apparatus work is deeply rooted in the Fletcher Pilates lineage. Unlike standard gym machines that treat exercises as simple sets and reps, the Fletcher method uses the Reformer, Cadillac, and Spine Corrector to provide sensory feedback. The springs aren't just there for resistance; they act as a guide for your breath and alignment. When I’m teaching at our studio in Koramangala, I’m not looking for perfect aesthetic form. I’m looking for that connection—the moment a student realizes that a movement can actually help them breathe easier or release tension they’ve been holding for years. Whether we’re using the signature Fletcher Towelwork to open the shoulders or the Wunda Chair for deep stability, the goal is always the same: understanding your own body. It’s frustrating when we treat our bodies like machines that need constant 'fixing' or 'toning.' That’s not what we do here. We move to understand how to carry ourselves better in the real world, whether you’re a dancer, a desk worker, or someone working through an injury. If you’re curious about how these tools can change your relationship with your own movement, let's connect and find a rhythm that works for you. ## About Akshata Joshi I’m Akshata, and while I started on the mat, my practice transformed the moment I stepped onto the apparatus. My goal is never to just push you through a workout, but to help you find those moments where your spine finally feels long and your breath reaches where it needs to.
