Customer Reviews

a book on pilates...with a brief section on seated poses.

the book is good, maybe go to your local bookstore and flip through it first to see if it is something you want. it does have well illustrated pictures, and is well explained. something to consider purchasing if you are a registered dental hygienist, the author is too.

Two books in one!

This book does two things - it give you an understanding of Pilates (and teaches you a home work-out) - and in the end shows you how to apply the principles in your work-life. It's enjoyable to read because the author's tone is light-hearted and she has included exercise illustrations performed by "real" people. I totally 'get' what the previous reviewer said about wanting more exercises, but in many ways, this book teaches you to "be your own trainer." Once you understand the philosophies of how to move your body, you are set free to apply them in your everyday life. Personally I am reminded to "wrap my ribcage and pull my navel to my spine" --- as I walk down the street, ride my bike...and even type this review.

Excellent Book !

I just purchased this book and it's great. It's written in a very clear and informative way and the illustrations of actual people doing the exercises are very easy to understand and follow. I recommend this book to anyone who sits in a chair alot whether for work or just even watching television. It's full of easy to do stretches and even has a section of pilates mat exercises. As a pilates instructor myself, I've read just about every book out there and this one is one that I will pass on to my clients, friends and family. I definitely recommend this book as a guide to helping your body feel better.
