Rezensionen / Stimmen
A profound amalgamation of Pilates' past, present, and future. It introduces the reader to the value of research, gives an overview of what is available today, and stresses the importance of continued discovery. It also highlights the often undervalued importance of gait, and the wealth of information that can be gleaned from observing this most simple and yet intricate of movement patterns. This is a book that will inspire the most seasoned of professionals to reassess and reevaluate their teaching. Elizabeth Larkam and Madeline Black bring to the fore their vast experience, knowledge, and creativity. They put on full display the reason they are leaders in our field. -- Rael Isacowitz, MA, BASI Pilates, Founder & Director A must read for all practitioners in the movement and health fields, akin to taking an advanced level course in Gait mechanics as it relates to a variety of health concerns prevalent today with updated information about proper breathing and exercises that you rarely hear about. This book is extremely useful, and very detailed, which encourages you to try things out on yourself as well as your clients. I am certainly grateful for their efforts and congratulate them on an extraordinary journey to bring this information to us. -- Marika Molnar, PT
