Pilates

This is really helpful and well put together. I do appreciate the cheaper price point making it more affordable than other books I’ve seen. I did feel like it was lacking a bit in the abdominal area on the reformer. That would be my only complaint other than that it’s a lovely book. Well worth the price I’m glad I got it that’s exactly what I wanted. Was not aware that the book has broken up into three different sections Pilates table, reformer, and I don’t know what it’s called but it’s the more advanced Pilates reformer equipment. I thought it would be a whole book just on the reformer and that’s totally fine that it’s not. I can actually appreciate this since it means I can implement some other Pilates workouts without the reformer in my routine!

Essential book Pilates instructors, students, and enthusiasts. Rael Isakowitz is brilliant and I'd also recommend his Pilates Anatomy book.

I ‘ve only read part but I find it full of information. The writing is well done. Anyone interested in this topic will not be disappointed.

A gift for my friend, she is very love it .she said that the book is very guidelines

This is a must have for anyone learning Pilates. Very comprehensive. The author, Rael, really knows his stuff.

This is a wonderful book by renowed pilates expert Rael Isacowitz for anyone interested in Pilates. Some parts of the book dealing with musculature and the human body get slightly technical, which is to be expected, but nothing too intense.I am a beginner and while I'm taking private lessons, I felt that a book would also help immensely.This book breaks everything down really well, with a strong emphasis on form and posture. It also includes modifications. Exercises are categorized as fundamental, intermediate and advanced based on level of complexity, and as hip work, abdominals, foot work etc for the part of the body that's being worked. Breath work is an important component and each exercise includes details on when to inhale and exhale.There are exercises for the entire range of pilates apparatuses that include the Cadillac and wunda chair.Overall, I'm excited about practicing Pilates and highly recommend this book!

Has great pictures, descriptions and explanations, a terrific book!

Great resource and love the details
