STOTT PILATES Manual - Comprehensive Matwork (English)

Having recently started Stott pilates classes I wanted something that was specific to the Stott methodology as opposed to pilates in general. Additionally, if you know pilates you will understand that proper breathing and posture are essential elements of the exercises. This manual although expensive, thoroughly describes the exercises, the breathing and posture requirements from beginner through to experienced and I have found it enormously useful as a reference guide and practice aid. I would recommend it if you are following the Stott Pilates method, but if you want a general introduction to pilates look elsewhere.

Wonderful professional training resource - well illustrated and clear explanations. Great for planning my fitness classes.

I am a fitness instructor that teaches a variety of formats. I wanted to incorporate more mat Pilates exercises into my classes. This is the perfect book! It gives a great overview and background of Pilates methods, and then provides a detailed breakdown of numerous Pilates exercises - including cuing tips, modifications, and incorporation of props. I highly recommend it. The only downside, the photos in this book look a little outdated (does not affect the quality of content).

A waterproof envelop would have been able to weather the transit to Singapore - the outer packaging was slightly damp upon arrival, and this left water stains on the manuals. Slightly disappointed that the outer envelop wasn't more padded for better protection.
