Yoga Rugs Woven with Recycled Organic Cotton

March 15, 2006

Yogarugs

Eco-sensitive yoga rugs made with certified, hand picked organic Egyptian cotton, known to be the softest and most durable cotton in the world.

Traditional yoga rugs are made with conventionally grown cotton which consumes approximately 25% of the insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides used in the world. Conventional farming devours a pound or more of pesticides and fertilizers to produce enough cotton for a single yoga rug.

The production of cotton has a huge impact on the world, and health of people planting, picking and weaving it. The use of chemical insecticides and pesticides contaminate soil, water and air. More chemicals are needed to treat the nutrient deprived soil, and contaminated water. Bio diversity is destroyed.

As a result, there is more give and less shock to your joints. Plus, the AeroPilates strength and flexibility training gives you the strong, streamlined, flexible body that only Pilates can achieve.

This device is elevated about 10 inches of the floor to allow for more advanced exercises and enables you to perform over 50 exercises to tone and shape your entire body.

POWER II Inversion Table

January 5, 2006

The table slowly and easily rotates to any comfortable angle, allowing for a relaxed inversion experience every time. You'll appreciate the quality of workmanship and smooth, quiet motor.

The Power II provides an easy way to perform inverted stretching or strengthening exercises. When the table rotation is stopped at any angle, the bed is sufficiently fixed at that angle to allow stretching and light exercise without bed movement.

You also get an 88-page medical research book on inversion written for "nonmedical" people. Some assembly required.

Stamina Pilates Spine Corrector

January 2, 2006

Stamiaspincorrector

The Stamina Pilates Spine Corrector - Large Barrel was designed by Joseph Pilates to be used as a way to open the chest and to correct or restore the curve of the spine.

As we age, muscles sometimes weaken causing our spine to lose its natural curve. The Spine Corrector Barrel strengthens the abdominal, back and shoulder muscles to keep the spine supple and young. The chest opens, shoulders straighten, and any "hump" back disappears. An open chest allows for easer, deeper breathing.

The Spine Corrector Barrel workout also tones and trims your thighs and strengthens your core or powerhouse.

The Pilates Spine Corrector Barrel is used in studios all over the world including Master Pilates Instructor Romana Kryzanowska's New York City studio.

The included 20-minute workout video, features Romana Kryzanowska along with Pilates elite trainer, Marjolein Brugman. Marjolein explains and demonstrates each of the 14 exercises so you have the proper basic form to then follow Romana's studio workout.
