While barre exercise originated in ballet, Ron designed his own approach that focuses on articulation from the toes to the fingertips, ensuring the entire body is recruited for every movement piece. Fletcher Barrework brings attention to balancing the left and right sides of the body, and to opening, strengthening, and articulating the hips and legs.

Towelwork is Ron Fletcher's original creation. It uses a signature red braided towel set at approximately double the width of the shoulders and held taut to guide a series of structured movement pieces. It is deceptively simple but profoundly challenging and effective. As someone who has personally struggled with shoulder girdle strength, Towelwork has changed my body in ways I never could have imagined. If you want to mobilise, stabilise, and free your thoracic spine and shoulder girdle, there is no better tool in the Pilates repertoire.

While the foundation of Pilates mat work is the 34 exercises Joseph Pilates outlined in Return to Life, Ron designed Fletcher Floorwork to bring dynamism, flow, and lateral movement into the structured matwork, drawing on his background in Graham-based floor technique. Fletcher Floorwork adds dimensions through lateral rotation and spinal flexion that complement the classical mat pieces. I incorporate Floorwork into nearly every class. Expect movement, flow, and fun.
