Fine for Pilates rookies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pilates for Pregnancy: Gentle and Effective Techniques for Before and After Birth (Paperback)
This book describes exercises that seem closer to Yoga than traditional Pilates. I practiced traditional Pilates for 10 months prior to becoming pregnant and the exercises described were a big step backward for me. If you are new to the principles of Pilates, this is a good place to learn the basics of the "Powerhouse". However, I haven't heard great things about the Winsor or Green/King books either. I'd suggest finding a certified Pilates instructor to guide you through Pilates during pregnancy if you want to get the maximum benefit. Traditional instructors can be found at www.pilates-studio.com. You may also find instructors in your area that are certified by Stott or Physical Mind Institute. Both of these alternate methods offer variations to what is termed "Authentic" Pilates.
