The PSM Suspension Series Library: 10 Go-To Pilates Suspension Flows with Cues, Progressions and Teaching Notes

If you teach Pilates, you've probably bought a suspension trainer and then wondered what to do with it beyond a few straps-and-springs tricks. Or you've seen hundreds of exercises online and can't tell which ones earn a place in a real class. Without a clear structure, sessions turn into random exercise collections. Clients get a good workout, but you don't get repeatable programming. This resource list narrows the Pilates Suspension Method down to ten series and progressions that Rebecca returns to again and again. Each entry is an annotated listing. It tells you what the series is, when to use it, who it suits, and why it works. It also gives the cueing language and the progression logic Rebecca uses in the studio. You'll see how a basic Attitude Lunge becomes a thoracic extension and standing crunch challenge. You'll see how the Feet in Straps Series builds from Hip Lift to the 100, and how the Standing Mermaid Series trains lateral flexion, rotation and hinging. You'll also see how the Athletic 100 gives a familiar classic a fresh load. Use it to plan a class in ten minutes, fill gaps in your teaching, or give your clients a reason to come back next week. The entries work on the Recoil Training apparatus, and you can adapt them to other suspension setups. A few also pair with a Springboard. Rebecca Beckler is a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer and a CP Master Trainer. She is a creator of the Pilates Suspension Method and teaches PSM Level 1 Certification Retreats and Foundation Courses. She also teaches classes at her home studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. These series come from that teaching, with real clients and real instructors, and not from theory.
