There’s something special about witnessing true Contrology in action with Dervola and long-time student, Sophie, moving with precision, purpose, and grace on the authentic Cadillac.

Every spring, strap, and bar was designed by Joseph Pilates himself to challenge the body while supporting proper alignment and control. The Cadillac isn’t just just a piece of equipment, it’s a full-body experience that builds strength, flexibility, and balance through mindful movement.

At Spark Pilates, we honour the authentic method by teaching with integrity and intention, helping each student find their flow, their strength, and their Spark!

Known as the Pedipole, Ped-O-Pull, or simply “the Pole”, this deceptively simple piece of equipment makes a big impact on your authentic Pilates practice.

Typically found only in classical studios, this apparatus teaches alignment, balance, powerhouse activation, and arm and back strength making it ideal for clients of all levels:

- Build strength in deep stabilizing muscles
- Improve alignment and posture
- Enhance coordination and precision
- Increase body awareness through controlled resistance

Whatever your may call it, the Pedipole is a staple in our studio because it supports authentic Pilates principles while giving every practitioner the tools to move with confidence and control.

Find your lift with The Swan, also known as Swan Dive. This dynamic exercise draws inspiration from the high dive, much like many movements in Pilates that stem from swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling, in addition to Romana’s own influence, dance. 🕊️

This classic Pilates move opens the chest, strengthens the spine, and enhances flexibility through the shoulders. It’s all about length, control, and extension by creating space in the body and freedom in your movement.

In this iteration called Baby Swan, we focus on the fundamentals, engaging the core, supporting the lower back, and lifting through the upper body to build strength and mobility safely. It’s a beautiful reminder that control and awareness come before big movement.

✨ A strong spine is the foundation of graceful movement.
✨ Breathe, lift, lengthen, and feel the freedom of The Swan.

Often described as one of the most powerful pieces in the Pilates system, the High Chair builds strength, stability, and precision through controlled, upright movement.

Originally designed by Joseph Pilates and coined "The Electric Chair", this apparatus challenges your balance and alignment while strengthening the core and legs. Its vertical structure offers incredible opportunities to refine posture and develop deep body awareness, where every press, lift, and hold demands focus and control. As Romana said, "You should feel the electricity in our body when using it!"

At Spark, we celebrate the High Chair as a reminder that even the simplest movements can transform when done with intention. Inquire with our expert instructors today and Spark a Movement!
