Wunda Chair Teacher Training

Learn from experienced Pilates teachers in London

J. Pilates designed this chair for a friend's house, having in mind the limitations of space. It is a rather wonderful piece which justifies its name. The repertoire is extended and its efficiency unparalleled. It provides sound body work with staccato movements. Strength and balance are the highlights. It requires advanced technique.

This course explores variations for when only a small part of the body is connected to the Chair. It's the ultimate Pilates perfection tool as it combines use of balance, co ordination, strength, flexibility and stamina.
