Editorial Reviews

Three reasons to buy Pilates: Body in Motion: 1. Author Alycea Ungara is a veteran Pilates illumanti, having founded Manhattan's huge Tribeca Bodyworks in 1995. 2. The book couldn't be designed better: The full-color, step-by-step photographs and the accompanying lucid text present the Pilates exercise system in ways that any novice can understand -- and remember. 3. The annotated "Self-Corrections" sidebars focus on common mistakes and provide tips on performing the exercises in tip-top form.
