The Anatomy of Pilates takes the reader inside the body to show exactly what happens in the body’s muscles and joints during a Pilates exercise. At the heart of the book are 150 full-colour illustrations showing the muscles that lengthen and strengthen in 40 classic exercises, together with information on anatomy, technique, breathing, pitfalls, and more. The Anatomy of Pilates is an accessible, authoritative guide for current and prospective teachers of Pilates, practitioners at all skills levels, physical therapists, and health professionals.
