Requirements for Completion
Bodhi suspension-based workouts are dynamic, fun and challenging. Adding Bodhi to your studio/facility gives you a powerful tool for your clients’ programs and a unique service offering. Whether in a class, private session, or integrated into an existing Pilates program, Bodhi Suspension System adds versatility and variety. Rooted in biomechanically sound principles, the Bodhi Suspension System will challenge clients of all levels.
Bodhi is easy to add to virtually every studio space. The two independent ropes require either wall or ceiling mounts.
Because the Bodhi Suspension System consists of two independent ropes with 4 potential suspension points, we highly recommend suspending the ropes at least 18 inches from the wall or from a ceiling mount. The ropes can be suspended against a wall but some of the exercises will have a different feel and experience as a result.
