How to use
Start on the floor. Sit at the low end, lie back slowly until your upper back rests over the highest point, and let your arms open overhead. Breathe. Stay as long as it feels good. Join our membership for guided sequences.
About the Cloud
Designed around a feeling.
The Cloud began with a question. What if anyone could feel the open, expansive extension that experienced movers know so well?
In traditional Pilates studios, an inclined slope has long helped beginners. Lie on it one way and gravity assists a curl-up. Lie another way and a roll-over becomes possible. The right shape makes hard movements accessible.
In the GYROTONIC® method, the arch is where the spine opens fully. Done well, it creates a sense of length and space through the upper back that is hard to find anywhere else. The Cloud brings those two ideas together.
What we set out to make.
A comfortable, supportive barrel designed to encourage full, well-organised extension. Its considered curve helps clients access movements they may not have achieved before, while providing a restorative counterbalance to the forward head and rounded shoulders common in screen-based daily life.
From studio to everyone
The first prototype was made for the studio. It quickly became clear that the stretch was for everyone, not only people who practise Pilates. So we added strength. Side bungee attachment points turn The Cloud into a complete workout tool you can use at home, in the studio or in the clinic.
Supported by Cloud Membership
A tool is only as good as knowing how to use it. That is why every Cloud comes with access to the Cloud Movement library, with new classes each week.
Posture for modern life
We sit more, scroll more and look down more than ever. Over time, the body follows: shoulders round, the head drifts forward, the upper back stiffens. The Cloud is designed to move you the other way.
Improve posture & mobility
The curved barrel opens the chest, expands the ribs and supports a long spinal arch, helping counter the rounded posture caused by desk work.
Release neck & shoulder tension
Resting the head and arms over the barrel reduces the forward pull of screens, allowing the neck, shoulders and upper body to relax.
Build strength & control
Supported extensions, bungees and gravity-assisted movement help strengthen the core, back and glutes while making advanced Pilates exercises more accessible.
