Pilates Paperback – March 21, 2014

These days, you see a lot of youtube tutorials, online comments, but when it comes to an all in one reference and guidance, there really isn’t that much information on the universal pilates reformer. I don’t need to watch 30 min of YouTube video to get to the point. I need a quick reference book so I can learn the material.I came across this book after it came highly recommended by a pilates reformer group. The STOT reformer books are far too expensive given the limited material in the book is not that different from this. This book is exceedingly detailed, comprehensive, and well thought out. Next to the purchase of my reformer, this is probably the best purchase I’ve made! The info in this book is priceless!

It’s interesting, but working with a teacher is better....it’s safer if you have any physical enjuries & a good teacher will watch that you do nothing to agrivate them. The book is a good aide to support a class, but always check with your teacher before you purchase something that is not helpful or safe at your level.

Dear Rael thank you very much for your wonderful book.I read it with pleasure every day again and again and every time i find something new.Thank you for your deep knowledge and hard work.I advise everyone who loves and appreciates the correct work with a body (especially the instructors of pilates) to th buy the book!Best regards,Maryna

I have a reformer at home and this is helpful to learn new exercises

I purchased this book after checking it out of the public library. I knew at that time that this needed to be in my personal training and fitness library because the rich detail it provides makes me a better instructor, a better athlete, and a stronger practitioner. If you are interested in being any of these, I would encourage you to get this book.

This book has revolutionized my understanding of Pilates. It uses effective descriptions and visualizations to take you within your body to really feel and understand what each exercise accomplishes. If you're used to group Pilates classes or videos and don't have access to a good one on one teacher, this will take you to another level.

Bought it for my class, and it’s great. This is what my professor recommended we use even after the class was over

This is the updated version of the other one which I had to keep bc it's the one my Pilates mentor, who is a master trainer is working with.Great book, either one. Very good customer service. Kept the other one, returned this one.Easy, affordable, quality.
