Pilates Body, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Ultimate At-Home Guide by Brooke Siler

Brooke Siler’s revised and expanded The Pilates Body presents mat-based exercises without specialized machines. It explains foundational Pilates principles through photographs, instructions, drawings and visualizations, with beginner modifications and transitions between movements.

This edition adds updated cues and variations, including a chapter on contracting and relaxing muscles through pandiculation. It is a movement-study resource, not yoga instruction or a guarantee of pain relief; choose exercises appropriate to your abilities and medical circumstances.
