Bodhi Suspension System®

Product Overview

The Bodhi Suspension System® is an innovative four-point suspension training system that combines the movement principles of Pilates with dynamic bodyweight resistance training. Developed by Pilates educator Khita Whyatt and Kirsten Sell, Bodhi is designed to build strength, stability, flexibility, balance, and proprioception through controlled suspension-based movement. Unlike traditional suspension trainers that use two suspension points, Bodhi’s unique four-point rope system allows all four limbs to be independently supported, creating a highly versatile platform for Pilates, functional fitness, rehabilitation, and athletic conditioning.
