PILATES BASICS (full color, autographed edition)

About the Book

Since 1981, Jillian Hessel has been honing her teaching and presentation skills to clearly convey in words and action the foundations of Pilates exercise: proper breathing, muscle control, proper body alignment and clear, precise movement.  Her book, Pilates Basics, is written especially for the novice — the person who has never practiced Pilates before, but is eager to learn. Inside, you’ll find a  posture analysis you can perform by yourself in front of a mirror, or with a friend.  Then, a series of pre-Pilates Fundamentals pave the way for the 21 Classic Matwork exercises that follow. The book includes a Bonus Section of fast, 5-minute Auxiliary Exercises you can do anytime, anywhere, to augment your Pilates practice. Each exercise is accompanied by full-color photographs and detailed, step-by-step instructions.

Though written for beginners, this book is also an exceptional resource for Pilates teachers.
