Book Reviews of Pilates
Book Review: Pilates is one of the most comprehensive book on Pilates
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is well written, comprehensive and very informative. The philosophy behind the work of Joe Pilates and repertoire is first explained in detail. the vast Pilates system of exercises from mat to Reformer and all the other basic apparatus, is then broken down and presented in logical chunks that really make sense. I am both a student of Pilates and a trainer. I loved the organization of the work presented by an author whose authoritative knowledge and love of the Pilates Method is infectious. Rael I. explains the context within which each exercise works, in relationship to the whole body, and then explains how to incorporate it in a Pilates session. I love the book, and I carry it around with me for inspiration.Book Review: Really Great Pilates Guide, does miss some exercises
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great, as it shows each exercise with several pictures and descriptions.
The book does not include many more advanced moves, but it is a great basic guide.
The best part of the book is the way it describes how to give clients imagery to help them with different movements.
Book Review: The Best Pilates Book Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've purchased lots of books and DVDs on Pilates to supplement my education as a teacher and this is by far the best of them all. Isacowitz groups the exercises by apparatus, gives great cues and imagery, clear instructions and good photos. My favorite and most-used feature is the index ~ you can find exercises for each muscle group, both stretching and strengthening, which is a quick and invaluable resource when planning a workout. If you are only going to buy one tool to help you with Pilates, this is the one. Very reasonably priced, too!Book Review: The Only Pilates Book You Will Need for a Beginner to Intermediate Class
Summary: 5 Stars
Pilates by Rael Isacowitz is the best written Pilates Reference I have ever read. I have been practicing for about 12 years and teaching for 4 years. This is a must have book for teaching and the only book you will need, if you are just beginning your practice. He is concise with his material and I like his descriptions and cues for imagery. I am looking forward to his next book. You will not be disappointed.Book Review: The Real McCoy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a real pilates book for those serious about the study. Beautifully written and illustrated. I'd also recommend the author's videos.
