The following exercises are Pilates-based Mat Work on the BOSU®, designed to balance musculoskeletal strength and flexibility in a holistic manner. The movements promote optimal neuromuscular patterns that are present in a normal, healthy posture and efficient movement.

The techniques work from the inside out (i.e. core musculature), rather than focusing on the superficial muscle groups alone. Many of the deep-lying core muscles have a protective function for the lumbar spine, and this may contribute to the therapeutic benefit of Pilates on the BOSU®.

This guide is designed for Certified Pilates instructors, trainees, fitness professionals and anyone who wants to challenge their body in this unique commitment to integrating use of the BOSU®, which on its own, is demanding and fun.
