Created by Joseph Pilates during the early 20th century, Pilates is used by millions today to improve their physical and mental well-being. Much of its appeal lies in its simple, low-impact approach, which is ideal for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and general physical health. Based on a series of precise movements and the employment of equipment such as rubber balls and exercise bands, Pilates emphasizes concentration, control, alignment, core stability, and proper breathing.
The Anatomy of Pilates shows what actually happens to the body’s muscles and joints during Pilates exercises. Each two-page spread features detailed anatomical illustrations of an exercise (with muscle actions highlighted in red), a detailed description of the exercise and its objectives, the particular breathing pattern to be used, a list of the specific muscles being worked, visualization techniques, complementary exercises, and more. The Anatomy of Pilates is an accessible, authoritative guide for current and prospective teachers of Pilates, practitioners at all skill levels, physical therapists, and other health professionals.

Review by Just Call me Annie for The Anatomy of Pilates
Rating:
Although this book is written for the health professional, it is a fantastic resource for the Pilates beginner as well. The text is well organized, thorough, clear and easy to understand. The illustrations of how to do the individual exercises are some of the most helpful I have seen in an exercise book.

Review by S. Collins for The Anatomy of Pilates

Love this book! Excellent resource guide for new and experienced Pilates teachers. The chapter (2) on Posture and Movement assessment is worth the price of the book alone. I have purchased more expensive Pilates books that were not nearly as valuable to me. Highly recommend!!

This is a fabulous book! If you ever wanted to know which exercises target specific muscles, this would be the book to get. I found the section on posture and movement assessment to be very beneficial, because it pinpoints which classical pilates exercises I can use to achieve the look I want. The checkpoints within each exercise help me to remember to do the movement correctly. Highly recommended!
