Pohlman, J.

Complete Pilates programme with exercises for both preparatory steps and higher levels of difficulty. Includes a 57 minute DVD to improve understanding... The Pilates method is a "movement based" physical preparation system that requires a high level of awareness of posture, alignment, breathing and muscle control. This unique approach to exercise was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by the German Joseph Pilates. Since then, his philosophy of movement v strengthening has proven to be beneficial for people of all physical conditions v professional occupation. Today, Joseph Pilates' intelligent "gymnastics" method continues to gain followers as an ideal complement to more recently developed bodybuilding techniques. The principles behind the Pilates method are paramount in re-educating the way we move and in achieving greater longevity. When Pilates is practiced with determination and constancy, we achieve flexibility and muscular strength, as well as important improvements in balance, in the symmetry of the body and in our energy levels. Jennifer Pohlman has a degree in Dance from the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne and has several years experience in the Pilates method. She trained as an instructor through an individualized course during an intensive period.
