Pilates Pregnancy Guide

My first client is pregnant and due in August. What a great resource to use in addition to the knowledge I've already acquired. Thank you.

Approval from a pilates instructor

I am a pilates instructor and I actually used this book as a reference when creating my prenatal pilates class. It is great and informative and I tell all my pregnant clients about it.

best pregnancy book out there

I am a Pilates teacher who recently has three pregnant students. I reviewed many books from my library system and found this one of the absolute best value and advice. Be careful what you read can be extremely contradictory with pilates(which works the abdominal muscels) and pregnancy. This book is sensible and safe. You will certainly get your moneys worth. It is a great reference book for teacher. Have it in your studios.
