"My first Pilates book ever! This book introduced me to the basic Pilates mat choreography with clear illustrations and excellent, unique descriptions of the movement. I still return to it constantly to refresh my personal practice and further understand this deep and powerful work. Can't say enough, a very good handbook."

    " While I wouldn't recommend really trying to learn pilates from a book, this is a good resource if you have a basic understanding of the principles of pilates but a refresher of the actual series. I liked the imagery she used and the little tips in the side bar. "

    " It's good for an exercise book. Have to say I'm not that impressed with Pilates. It's derived mainly from yoga -- but yoga classes are a lot cheaper, as well as generally being equally concerned with the spirit as with toning the body. "
