The Little Book of Pilates

Pilates is about uniting the mind and body as one, not only during the exercises, but throughout every other moment of our lives as well.

With its 6 core principles of breath, concentration, control, precision, centre and flow, Pilates is a form of exercise that can become a way of life and improve your physical health as well as your mental and emotional wellbeing. The Little Book of Pilates will take you through each principle of Pilates, and show you how just practicing just a few exercises can have a positive impact on your day.

Explore the history of Pilates, from how it was originally inspired by the movement of cats to how it has evolved over the years into a brilliant practice for physical conditioning and mindfulness, learn some simple Pilates movements to get you started, experience the effects of core breathing techniques and learn simple daily practices that will make you feel strong, calm and focused.

The Little Book of Pilates is the perfect starting place for anyone new to the practice, or for those looking to incorporate the principles of Pilates into their daily life.
