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.
