Review Quotes: "Karen and Rael are two of the most respected names in the Pilates field, and Pilates Anatomy, Second Edition, brings together their clarity and passion. This book is at the top of my list."
--Nora St. John, Education Program Director for Balanced Body University

"Anatomy is a fundamental science that is absolutely necessary to truly understand human movement. Rael and Karen do an amazing job of bringing anatomy to life for Pilates teachers. This second edition brings the Pilates teacher updated information, including functional muscular and skeletal anatomy combined with planes of movement and the application of anatomy to basic Pilates principles. Rael's ability to bring order to the exercise and its corresponding anatomy is a gift. We are looking forward to adding the second edition of Pilates Anatomy to our must-read list."
--Brent Anderson, PhD, PT, OCS, PMA(R)-CPT, President of Polestar Life Retreats and Southwind Retreat Center

"Karen Clippinger and Rael Isacowitz have done an excellent job of honoring the past of Joseph Pilates' great body of work, acknowledging the present, and forging into the future. The technique cues and exercise notes after each segment in Pilates Anatomy, Second Edition, are invaluable for every student of Pilates, from beginner to advanced."
