The Little Book for Pilates Lovers
Tips and Tricks to Uplift Your Mind, Body and Spirit
By Rachel Lawrence
£9.49
Explore the uplifting world of Pilates with easy-to-follow, low-impact exercises, practical tips and wellbeing inspiration.
My second book takes a wider look at Pilates as a lifestyle, bringing together movement, body awareness, breath and wellbeing, alongside exercises that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
About The Little Book for Pilates Lovers
Pilates is an effective form of mind-body exercise, ideal for building physical strength, de-stressing and uplifting your spirit.
Whether you’re looking for some morning rejuvenation, an afternoon pick-me-up or an evening wind-down, the exercises in this book are designed to fit into your daily routine.
Unlike my first book, which focused much more closely on Mat Pilates, The Little Book for Pilates Lovers looks at the wider, more holistic side of Pilates and how it can become part of everyday life.
Who is the book for?
Whether it’s your first time trying Pilates or you already consider yourself a Pilates lover, the book includes exercises and guidance suitable for a wide range of ages, abilities and fitness levels.
It has been written to be easy to dip in and out of, whether you are completely new to Pilates or already have an established practice.
What’s inside the book?
- An introduction to Pilates and its benefits
- Tips on getting started
- Instructions on how to perform a range of Pilates exercises, from beginner to advanced
- Guidance on maintaining posture, balance and coordination
- Advice to help improve your body awareness and breath control
- Pointers on how to develop your Pilates practice
The book brings these different areas together in a simple and approachable way, with exercises and ideas that you can return to as your Pilates practice develops.
Pilates as part of everyday life
For me, Pilates has always been about much more than exercise.
Movement, posture, breathing, body awareness and wellbeing are all closely connected, and this book brings those different parts of Pilates together.
My hope is that it gives you practical ways to bring Pilates into your day, rather than seeing it as something that only happens during a workout or class.
