The Pilates Reformer: Part II: Modern Reformer Exercises & Pilates Jumpboard (The Pilates Equipment)

Reformer Part 2 – The second part of this two-book set now finally available! If you have you been looking for a comprehensive overview of exercises on the Reformer that you can tailor and modify to different levels of experience – either for yourself or your clients – then this is the set for you. While Reformer Part 1 concentrates on the traditional exercises, Reformer Part 2 focuses on the so-called “modern” exercises and also includes exercises with the jumpboard. Individually or together - How Part 1 and 2 can help your training The set of traditional Reformer exercises by Joseph Pilates was extremely well thought out and is suitable for many levels of experience. You will find those exercises in Reformer Part 1 for the levels Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Super-Advanced. But for some people the traditional exercises and especially the transition between levels can be quite challenging. Which is why 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation teachers have developed many exercises that can be used both as stand-alone practices as well as in preparation for more challenging traditional exercises. Reformer Part 2 is a compact collection of these extremely useful modern exercises. What’s inside? Large format color pictures are used to illustrate each of the exercises. The exact setup of each exercise, the goals associated with the exercise, and a step-by-step description of how to perform it are outlined. Common mistakes, possible modifications or variations, and contraindications and dangers are also enumerated. Kathy Corey wrote in the foreword "… This manual is a beginning to aid you on your teaching journey. As you develop your own teaching style and work with the complex physicality of your students, you will realize the importance of the modifications and variations presented in this manual…."
