Synopsis

Lyn O'Neill is a professional illustrator and highly experienced Pilates and Movement therapy teacher. Her book is fully illustrated in Graphic Comic Book style that conveys complex Pilates exercises with easy to read step by step instructions. The Pilates exercises are suitable for complete beginners to advanced students and the book includes meticulously researched information on anatomy and physiology that breaks the myths surrounding Pilates classes. Suitable for all ages, male or female, it is witty and humorous and answers the questions asked by Pilates teachers and students alike making learning fun, engaging and simple. It is a resource for teachers and students as well as health practitioners who want to inspire their clients to improve posture, gain flexibility, core strength, calmness, to lose weight and do more exercise as they move through the levels from easy to advanced. Pilates is well know for increasing strength and flexibility and is now routinely practiced by everyone from the general public to high level athletes. Just ten minutes Pilates a day will make a difference to health and well being. Keep at it and you will have a whole new body. "This book is packed with humour and the comic illustrations bring a new dimension to this and makes the book a lovely and easy book to read and to follow. It reminds me of the Jackie comic in the 80s.It also has a feel of the author and illustrator Raymond Briggs. As the author states people do respond better to drawings as visually we do take in more than just reading words. It is important in a time of stress and strain that we are fit, and we look after our bodies and wellbeing and this positivity is then transferred to our patients."
