Description
The founders of PHI Pilates, Chrissy Romani-Ruby and Cassie Ruby-Nemec offer this complete manual of Pilates Mat Work that begins with describing the foundation of the method by Joseph Pilates, discusses all the founding principles and then adds the anatomy of the Pilates Powerhouse.
Each of the Mat Work positions is described in detail as individual exercises and are presented with their listed benefits, modifications and progressions. Modern and up to date physiology is incorporated to assist the Pilates professional in adapting the mat repertoire to all fitness levels and applying it to clients with specific physical needs and goals.
This manual is the required textbook for the Mat Level I and Mat Level II courses in the PHI® Pilates comprehensive teacher training program.
