One of the best Pilates books that I own. I have been teaching Pilates since 2001 and always find myself looking back to this book for ideas. Gives clear cut description of exercises, breathing, and technique. The best pro of this book is how it has separate sections for back, abs, legs so if you are looking for a specific area of your body to target you can find a section on it. Only Con: should give examples of workout routines. I have many Pilates books that give workout routines within them-normally at the end of the book-this book doesn't have any. Highly recommend to anyone looking to le

Gives the science behind the method

I have learned so much about the Pilates method since receiving this book! It really goes into a lot of physiology and explains the muscle structure of each part of the body. The exercises are then explained in a way that makes sense. Even though I thought I knew how to do Pilates, I think now I'll be able to make real progress since I understand the process so much better.

Gain more strength through Pilates

Love how this book shows you what muscles you are working, what's good for bad backs, and how to stand correctly. It's a great informational book on Pilates as well as a ton of exercises.
