Pilates Evolution - The 21st Century

Much has changed in the twenty-first century since 1934 when Joseph Pilates wrote his first book (Your Health) about fitness and health. In 1945, he followed up that book with his detailed and definitive book of exercises, Return to Life Through Contrology. Both of these original books were copyrighted and republished by us, and have now been updated. Joseph Pilates has been nothing short of revolutionary in his impact on the world of fitness and exercise. He describes the results of decades of scientific study, experimentation, and research into the variety of troubles and ills that upset the balance of body and mind. You will also learn every single one of his original 34 mat exercises. It is a fascinating look into Pilates' original thinking and represents the foundation of an entire discipline embraced by fitness enthusiasts, health educators, and exercise trainers around the world.
