Welcome to Pilates, like you've never seen it before.

With detailed descriptions, comprehensive instructions, and 46 highly illustrated exercises, the Second Edition of Pilates Anatomy will help you deepen your knowledge of how you can stretch, strengthen, and achieve optimal coordination of specific muscles. As you train to tone your body, stabilize your core, improve balance, and increase flexibility, you will know which muscles are activated in each exercise and understand how breath, alignment, and movement are intricately connected.

For each exercise, use the "Customize Your Exercise" section to modify and add variety to your workout routine, as well as adapt your training to your goals and needs. Modifications make each exercise accessible to everyone, variations add variety, and progressions increase the difficulty level of each exercise and can be used as valuable stepping stones on your journey towards more demanding Pilates exercises. Breathing, concentration, and self-awareness techniques are also included, providing a unique exercise experience that enhances your body and mind.

Whether you are just beginning to explore the beauty and benefits of Pilates or have been practicing for years, Pilates Anatomy is a valuable resource that you will constantly refer to.
