5.0 out of 5 stars With irresistible exercises,, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

Working from Your Core draws the reader immediately into the substance of his or her own core, then offers reams of valuable information about each core pattern. You can pick and choose particular morsels or consume the whole banquet. Either way, Sharon Seivert has written a wonderfully intelligent and authentic book.
