Pedi-Pole and Magic Circle

Di Javier Pérez Pont e Esperanza Aparicio Romero

he Pedi-Pole is a T-shaped pole very long with a solid base and two springs hooked at each end of the T. This post is designed to represent the spine, which will align in the center to work and enhance the symmetry and coordination. This is not a device for beginners, however the student must be prepared to work on it. Men usually begin to work in the Pedi-Pole before women. Strengthens the energy center and work posture, alignment, coordination, control, breathing and balance, getting to be a big help for singers, dancers and gymnasts.?
