The Small Barrel Simple design.

Powerful practice.

Workshop Overview

In this workshop, Sophia will guide you through the Small Barrel’s set-up, classical repertoire, and thoughtful variations. You’ll explore how this modest apparatus clarifies the core principles of the Method—centring, precision, control, and breath—while providing clients with clear, embodied feedback to refine movement patterns.

Too often, we rush ahead to the Spine Corrector in search of “more.” The Small Barrel asks something different: to slow down, to feel, and to discover the subtle lift and support that underpin every exercise. Its gentle curve teaches length without strain and articulation without collapse — lessons that transfer directly to both Mat and Reformer work.

Together we’ll explore:

• The foundational Small Barrel repertoire and its classical roots

• How to select and position the barrel for different body types

• Progressions that bridge Mat work to the Spine Corrector and beyond

• Creative exercise groupings for mixed-level clients

• Using the barrel to restore spinal mobility and breath awareness

A return to simplicity, where less truly becomes more.
