“This is a must for any Pilates' instructors. Easy to read and very important to understand the anatomy of the body. I find it very helpful in sharpening my instructor tools.”
“Love this book! Excellent resource guide for new and experienced Pilates teachers. The chapter (2) on Posture and Movement assessment is worth the price of the book alone. I have purchased more expensive Pilates books that were not nearly as valuable to me. Highly recommend!!”
“This is a ‘must have’ book for all students and teachers of Pilates, as it assumes a good level of prior knowledge of the classic Pilates exercises."
“This book is aimed at those with a knowledge of Pilates, and wish to proceed with knowing how and which muscles each position works on. Nice clear illustrations, it details what to look for in each move, how to do it correctly, but also look out for common mistakes. I'd say anyone wishing to teach this an essential book, or for those who are at or wish to get to a high level.”
