Pilates Anatomy by Rael Isacowitz

Rael Isacowitz and Karen Clippinger connect Pilates movement with functional anatomy in this illustrated guide. Forty-six exercises show the muscles involved and explain how breathing, alignment and small changes in position affect practice.

Modifications, variations and progressions help readers think about adapting a session to different abilities. The book is an instructional reference for practitioners and teachers, not a personal assessment of which exercises are suitable for an injury or medical condition.
