Pilates Fusion: Well-Being for Body, Mind, and Spirit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After taking pilates classes for more than two years, I have acquired several books and videos with the aim of supporting workouts at home.This is by far the best! Not only does it include many useful sequences for home workouts to fit needs and schedules (last section), but it provides a wonderful orientation to pilates and to all of its main exercises. For each exercise, the book includes: clear steps to follow, a diagram of a man or woman doing the exercise, benefits (in relation to particular body parts strengthened, general physical outcomes, and mental benefits), how to listen to your body while doing the exercize, and how to spiritually ground it. Shirley Archer does a wonderful job of integrating instruction for pilates as an exercise program with guidance for experiencing the range of its physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. The book is great for pilates beginners and devotees!
