As a student of dance, yoga, and Pilates instructor I have found the "AOM: Exercises" to be a very useful companion to the original AOM book. It provides deeper understanding of the anatomy involved in posture, walking, and more specialized movements such as plies and jumps. I have used the exercises, which are beautifully basic, to help students with, for example, feet and ankle problems with excitingly good success. Because the exercises appear to be pretty basic to my students, I have found that they will do them more often on their own. I recommend this book for those that need to understand the anatomy involved in every day movement as well as to those that want to enhance theiir dance/yoga/Pilates experience.

Some years ago I incorporated many of these exercises when rehabbing my back after a car accident. The exercises/stretches were practical and effective. I have NO chronic, recurring dysfunction and I credit that in part to staying active with these gentle but purposeful exercises rather than loading up on pain meds and "resting" it. Movement is essential to restoring function! Highly recommend.

This book helped me a lot in my study. It describes all the details of the anatomy & how you can apply different exercises to different muscles. Ideal for instructors studying pilates & getting ready to complete thier certificate.

I have 17 years experience in Physiotherapy. This was a little elementary for me, but Would be extremely helpful for someone starting out.

I purchased this book for my ESL student who is undergoing pilates certification. It is very helpful because it provides detailed pics of exercises and the cues that are used. It is a nice supplemment to the Anatomy of Movement Primary book.

Although the images in the book are dated, the stretches and xercises shown are very useful.

The book is what I wanted, but I question how current and accurant some the information is.

I like this book a lot. I found it very informative and helpful in my massage therapy practice.
