A note from George
Hi there! I’m George Watts—your friendly neighbourhood Pilates teacher and the slightly obsessed creator behind the Pilates Magic Circle Card Deck.
And when I’m not gripping a magic circle like my life depends on it, I’m usually tinkering away on the Online Pilates Lesson Planner—because who doesn’t love saving time and planning classes like a Pilates wizard?
Now let me introduce you to the Pilates Magic Circle Card Deck—a compact little powerhouse packed with 50 magic circle exercises. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or a seasoned pro, this deck will tone, strengthen, and stretch muscles you didn’t even know you had. It’s basically a Pilates instructor in your pocket (minus the small talk).
Each card comes with step-by-step instructions and illustrations so clear even your dog could follow along (not that we’re suggesting you teach your dog Pilates… but we won’t judge if you try).
Get ready to level up your magic circle practice with a blend of resistance, precision, and just the right amount of fun!
The familiar Magic Circle moment
One small circle. The same five exercises?
The Magic Circle is wonderfully simple. Your repertoire does not have to be.
Instead of searching old notes—or hoping inspiration arrives before the class does—open the deck and see 50 useful possibilities. Pick one exercise, follow the guidance and build from there.
The result is less rummaging, more variety and a session you are genuinely looking forward to teaching or practising.

Questions before the circle enters the room?
Magic Circle Card Deck FAQs
Are these physical cards?
No. This is an instant digital product. You receive interactive PDF files plus printable JPG and PNG versions; nothing is posted to you.
Who are the cards for, and how will they help me?
Teachers can use the deck to refresh classes and plan varied Magic Circle sequences; trainees can connect exercises with their cues, benefits and modifications; and students can build more varied home sessions. The visual cards make the repertoire quicker to browse than a folder full of notes.
What information is included on each card?
Each card includes the exercise name, category, sub-category, illustration, benefits, teaching cues, steps, a one-minute timer option, a modification and QR-linked support. The deck includes linked video guidance and access to additional modifications.
Can I use the cards on my phone, tablet or computer?
Yes. The interactive PDF works on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. You can browse the exercises on screen or use the supplied printable files.
What sizes can I print the cards?
The files are supplied in A4, A5 and A6 formats. A6 is useful when you want four cards on one A4 sheet; you can also print two larger cards per page.
Is there help available for printing the cards?
Yes. The deck includes a short printing tutorial covering home printing, printing two or four cards per page and using a local print shop.
Where do I find my files after purchasing?
After checkout, open your account on PilatesLessonPlans.co.uk and select the download files option beside your order. Your purchased files remain available from your account.
Can I use the cards when teaching a Pilates class?
Yes. Pilates teachers may use the cards for their own lesson planning and while teaching their classes. The files must not be sold, resold, shared or given to students; anyone who wants their own copy should purchase the deck.
Can I license the deck for my Pilates studio?
Yes. If several instructors need access to a Pilates Card Deck, see the studio licensing page for licensing information.
Do you have other Pilates Card Decks?
Yes. Browse the complete Pilates Card Deck collection, including Reformer, Joseph Pilates, Matwork, Foam Roller, Anatomy, correction and Magic Circle mini-workout decks.
