Title: One of the better books so far...
Review: As a teacher of Pilates-based exercises I suggest people use this book as a reference guide only--not to learn Pilates from scratch. The exercises are clearly laid out, and her visual images are certainly helpful. However, the explanations of the fundamentals leave out key pieces. While she discusses them to a certain extent, she does not go into enough depth, which means that without a teacher, a lay person would not fully "get it". I wish she went into the basics of the anatomy of the "powerhouse", explaining the low back muscles, psoas, and transversalis. Without fully understanding these principles, most people end up using their abs in the wrong way. Therefore, I recommend this book only to people who have a personal trainer as well.
