5 out of 5 stars Best Mat Book on the Market   July 20, 2008
Donna Pourteymour (Surrey, England)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This is hands down the best pilates mat book I have found on the market (and I have searched). It includes about 30 pages of incredibly informative tips and explanations on key pilates points that we think we understand but we don't. Ellie has a way of explaining the complicated in a simple but profound way. The remainder of the book is similar to her other books with detailed explanations of exercises, from beginning to super advanced, both classical and her own inventions (which are most often far more fun to learn and execute). It is the only matbook I have ever used where you can actually learn a new exercise from a book. And at the end she has picture-based mat programs broken down by level. I gave this book as a gift to a new teacher in my studio and she said, "This is exactly what have needed all along." Highly highly recommended. Donna Pourteymour, Studio Owner, Surrey, England.
