About Exercise Library & Technique

In our studio, the Wunda Chair is a staple, not a prop. When you perform the 'Cat' on this apparatus, you are not just moving; you are learning how to articulate your spine vertebrae by vertebrae while maintaining a constant connection to your deep abdominals. This specific focus on precision is exactly what separates a workout from a practice.
