I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for my unbiased review.

I thought the book was great for beginners, like me.
The images and descriptions were very straight forward.
I also liked that there was a nutritional chapter as well as a chapter on meditation and mindfulness.
Really nice!

I liked this book. I think it helps for people who cannot or do not want to go to the gym. It helps you learn techniques and how you can make pilates work for your personal lifestyle.

As someone new to Pilates, I felt the book was just right for me. I even took it on vacation with me.
