Pilates

These days, you see a lot of youtube tutorials, online comments, but when it comes to an all in one reference and guidance, there really isn’t that much information on the universal pilates reformer. I don’t need to watch 30 min of YouTube video to get to the point. I need a quick reference book so I can learn the material. I came across this book after it came highly recommended by a pilates reformer group. The STOT reformer books are far too expensive given the limited material in the book is not that different from this. This book is exceedingly detailed, comprehensive, and well thought out. Next to the purchase of my reformer, this is probably the best purchase I’ve made! The info in this book is priceless!

This book has revolutionized my understanding of Pilates. It uses effective descriptions and visualizations to take you within your body to really feel and understand what each exercise accomplishes. If you're used to group Pilates classes or videos and don't have access to a good one on one teacher, this will take you to another level.

I purchased this book after checking it out of the public library. I knew at that time that this needed to be in my personal training and fitness library because the rich detail it provides makes me a better instructor, a better athlete, and a stronger practitioner. If you are interested in being any of these, I would encourage you to get this book.

I have a reformer at home and this is helpful to learn new exercises

Dear Rael thank you very much for your wonderful book. I read it with pleasure every day again and again and every time i find something new. Thank you for your deep knowledge and hard work. I advise everyone who loves and appreciates the correct work with a body (especially the instructors of pilates) to th buy the book! Best regards, Maryna

The book is very comprehensive! It is also very easy to read and easy to follow if you need to do the exercises. Will be useful to anyone interested in Pilates, young or old alike! The complete exercises are very well detailed and explained!

It’s interesting, but working with a teacher is better....it’s safer if you have any physical enjuries & a good teacher will watch that you do nothing to agrivate them. The book is a good aide to support a class, but always check with your teacher before you purchase something that is not helpful or safe at your level.

I absolutely love the imagery cues given for each exercise. This book is a wonderful resource, especially for a newer instructor like myself.

Les exercices sont parfaitement expliqués

A very helpful resource for anyone teaching Pilates. Plenty of exercise examples with detailed descriptions and ways of communicating and explaining the exercises. The class- examples for different class formats and levels are also very helpful !

Il miglior libro di Pilates in assoluto. Spiegazioni e figure complete. Anche l'inglese è molto semplice e leggibile da tutti.

One of the best Pilates book I have come across . Detailed clear instructions and explanations . The section on mat work is not very long a lot of the book is devoted to working on the Pilates equipment ,Reformer etc which I do not use . Despite this , this is a book I would not do with out
