highly recommended

This edition combines two of Joseph Pilates published works in one volume. Contrology is the complete coordination of mind, body and spirit, wrote Joseph Pilates. In Return to Life, first published in 1945, Pilates defines the concept of Contrology with specific advice regarding posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility and physical education. He demonstrates his original 34 mat exercises, which are now basic repertoire in Pilates training. Each exercise is demonstrated by Pilates himself at the age of 60 in a series of photos accompanied by detailed instructions. Your Health, originally published in 1934, explains Joseph Pilates early theories about health and fitness. Its a fascinating look into the mind of the man who revolutionized fitness, and whose teachings form the foundation of a discipline now embraced by fitness enthusiasts, health educators, rehabilitation specialists, and exercise trainers around the world. Black and white, paperback, 158 pages.

Real Pilates course

I learned my first pilates mat on a specialized gym with a teacher, third in line with Joseph Pilates. Classes were really expensive and I started searching on internet for a video with the original excercises as the ones I learned. I did not have too much luck, until I saw this video and order it. It was the exact same routine that I was taught; so I left the gym and do them at home now. For any pilates course, you should always go to a licensed teacher first because if you don't you might damage your spine. There are certain positions which need help at the beginning and you can't do them on your own. After that, you can buy this DVD with confidence is really good. The purpose of the pilates workout is for flexibility,back problems and posture correction. They are excellent for herniated disk, I have two and after six months practicing pilates the pain was gone for good.

Pilates in photos and his own words

If you want pictures of Joseph Pilates doing a lot of his basic exercises and if you want a short explanation of his ideas in his own words, then this is worth the price. Nothing about his machine/s however. Just mat pilates.

Mouvements Pilates très précisément décrits.

Ce livre est très utile pour comprendre les mouvements pilates;
sur la page de gauche les photos de chaque étape de l'exercice;
sur la page de droite, les explications et recommandations pas à pas, par le créateur de la méthode lui-même.

Le reste du livre est, à mon goût, une suite de redites sans intérêt.

Je mets quand même 5 étoiles, pour l'intérêt global du livre.
