Yoga Mat

Weighted balls
These props are really useful to work the upper body more and they feel much nicer than the traditional dumbbells. You can choose from different weights (for small repetitive movements like the ones we most often perform in Pilates, even the 0.5kg works perfectly).
Selection of weighted balls here.
Yoga wheel
by Yogi Bare
I have been using my Yoga wheel primarily to help open my front body more, as it really supports safe backbending and flexibility of the spine, but this prop is also fantastic for our inversion and core strength practice.

Small Pilates Ball
This is one of my favorite props, especially for core work, as it can be used to really support the lower back when this is a delicate area.
The ball can also be used for many stability and rehab exercises for the joints.
Small ball available here.
Yoga straps and equipment
Straps are very useful to access deep stretches, especially when the hamstrings feel a bit tight. Complete Unity also offers amazing travel mats you can fold in your backpack, I love the white one!
Selection of straps here.
Resistance bands
Bands are ideal if you want to work deeper in Pilates and Barre, as they naturally reduce the range of movement and increase the muscular effort, while also helping improve the technique. The light ones are perfect to work the lower body if the knees are a bit delicate, you can always vary the intensity of the work as you continue with your practice. is very useful in Pilates both for lower body and upper body work, and also to assist specific core exercises.
Selection of different straps here (you can choose the intensity).
